Vietnam is a major travel destination and since being names the safest country in Asia, travel to Vietnam is quite simple.

By airplane there are several airports in Vietnam with Tan Son Nhat being one of the most business airports in SE Asia and is currently being completely rebuilt. There are also other international airports in Hanoi, and Danang. Vietnam Airlines, the countries most well known air carrier has recently signed agreements to co share with major airlines in the USA, Germany, France and elsewhere and is actually a rather good airline which is big on customer service and the in flight food being quite good, especially in business and first class.

Boat: There have been in recent years more and more commercial cruises available and one can make stops at various points along the way for sightseeing and shopping excursions from Saigon, to Vungtau and up the cost in the Danang area. Once in the country, try and make the effort to take for example the hydrofoil from Saigon to Vungtau. It's a wonderful way to travel in the country and the sights you will see will leave a solid and lasting impression of the countries many sights along the waterfront.

Train: Like other places in Asia, train travel leaves much to be desired in Vietnam. The trains are by and large slow and old, in need of renovation. The Vietnam government has made plans to address these issues but for now, trains are not a preferred way of travel.

Roadways: The highways in Vietnam are in various stages of rebuilding and these are projects that should last well into the future as the country continues its progress. For now you must resort to a car that has a driver but you can easily rent a motorbike and set out for days of incredible exploration at your leisure and see many smaller towns along the road. While it's still a bit behind in the times, it's actually an easier drive than in many other parts of Asia.
