Vietnam has so much to offer, here are some of the things Vietnam is known for.
Food
The highlight of any trip, Vietnamese food: balances sour and sweet flavours, crunchy and silky textures, fried and steamed dishes, soups and salads. Essentially it’s all about the freshness of the ingredients – chefs shop twice daily to collect just-picked herbs from the market. Wherever you are, you’ll find exquisite local specialities – the ‘white rose’ of Hoi An, banh xeo (savoury filled pancakes) of the south and centre, or the good ol’ pho of the north. Yes, eating out in Vietnam is a feast for the eyes and treat for palate.
Hoi An
Vietnam's most cosmopolitan and civilised town, this beautiful ancient port is bursting with gourmet restaurants, hip bars and cafes, quirky boutiques and expert tailors. Immerse yourself in history in the warren-like lanes of the Old Town, and tour the temples and pagodas. Dine like an emperor on a peasant’s budget (and even learn how to cook like the locals). Then hit glorious An Bang Beach, wander along the riverside and bike the back roads. Hoi An: has it all.
Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park
With jagged hills shrouded in verdant rainforest, and mountain rivers coursing through impressive ravines, above ground the Phong Nha-Ke Bang region: is one of Vietnam's most spectacular national parks. Head underground for even more proof that this area should be part of any Vietnamese itinerary. A fortunate selection of travellers can experience the cathedral-like chambers of Hang Son Doong, the world's largest cave, but more accessible are the ziplining and kayaking thrills of Hang Toi (Dark Cave), and the ethereal beauty of aptly named Paradise Cave.
Halong Bay
Halong Bay’s: stunning combination of karst limestone peaks and sheltered, shimmering seas is one of Vietnam’s top tourist draws, but with more than 2000 different islands, there’s plenty of superb scenery to go around. Definitely book an overnight cruise and make time for your own special moments on this World Heritage wonder – rise early for an ethereal misty dawn, or pilot a kayak into grottoes and lagoons. If you’re hankering for more karst action, move on to the less touristy but equally spectacular Lan Ha Bay.
Hue
The capital of the nation in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Hue: is perhaps the easiest Vietnamese city to love and spend time in. Its situation on the banks of the Perfume River is sublime, its complex cuisine justifiably famous, and its streets are relatively traffic free. And that’s without the majesty of the Hue Citadel, its royal residences and elegant temples, formidable walled defences and gateways to explore. On the city’s fringes are some of Vietnam’s most impressive pagodas and royal tombs, many in wonderful natural settings.
Ho Chi Minh City
Increasingly international but still unmistakably Vietnamese, former Saigon has visceral energy that will delight big-city devotees. HCMC: doesn’t inspire neutrality: you’ll either be drawn into its thrilling vortex and hypnotised by the perpetual whir of its orbiting motorbikes, or you’ll find the whole experience overwhelming. Dive in and you’ll be rewarded with a wealth of history, delicious food and a vibrant nightlife that sets the standard for Vietnam. The heat is always on in Saigon; loosen your collar and enjoy.
Beer
Vietnam has a deep-rooted beer-drinking culture, and sampling a brew or two is one of the great pleasures of travelling in the country. The big brands (such as 333 and Hanoi) are widely available, but do seek out bia hoi – fresh draught beer: – which is brewed daily, to be drunk within hours, incredibly cheap and consumed on street terraces. There's also a dynamic craft beer scene in the big cities, with some eminently quaffable locally-made IPAs, pale ales, wheat beers and pilsners.
Extreme North
The extreme north of Vietnam is all about raw adventure travel. Ha Giang province: is Vietnam's spectacular emerging destination for the intrepid, with dizzying ascents up the Quan Ba Pass (Heaven's Gate), towering karst peaks and granite outcrops, and jaw-dropping vistas on the epic trip between Dong Van and Meo Vac. And with improved roads, new trekking routes, minority markets and a wider choice of guesthouses, Vietnam's final frontier – now a Unesco-listed geopark – is really opening up.
Cat Tien National Park
An accessible and impressive protected area, Cat Tien National Park: lies conveniently midway between Ho Chi Minh City and Dalat. It is set on a bend in the Dong Nai River, and there is something vaguely Apocalypse Now about arriving here. Popular activities include trekking, cycling and wildlife spotting: the Wild Gibbon Trek is a must. The park is also home to a primate centre, where gibbons and langurs are coaxed back into their natural environment.
Markets
From the floating markets of the Mekong Delta and the souvenir-rich streets of Hoi An to the urban affairs of Ho Chi Minh City and the tribal gatherings in the highlands, Vietnamese markets are a riot of colour and commerce. For photographers, markets are ideal for getting shots of Vietnamese villagers and their perfectly arranged pyramids of tropical fruit or glistening seafood displays. The region around the town of Bac Ha: is particularly market-rich and should not be missed if you're anywhere in the north.
Phu Quoc Island
Lapped by azure waters and edged with the kind of white-sand beaches that make sun seekers sink to their weak knees, Phu Quoc: – way down in the south of Vietnam – is ideal for slipping into low gear, reaching for a seaside cocktail and toasting a blood-orange sun as it dips into the sea. And if you want to notch it up a tad, grab a bike and hit the red-dirt roads: the island is relatively compact, around the size of Singapore.
Hanoi
Ancient but dynamic, the nation's capital hurtles toward modernity, cautiously embracing visitors. Sample Hanoi's: heady mix of history and ambition by wandering the streets of the Old Quarter, sipping drip-coffee, slurping on a hearty bowl of bun rieu cua (a sour crab noodle soup) and scoring souvenirs for next to nothing. When you're done, check out the crumbling decadence of the French Quarter then zip up to cosmopolitan Tay Ho for finer dining and the lowdown on Hanoi's burgeoning art scene.
Con Dao Islands
Once hell on earth for a generation of political prisoners, Con Dao: is now a heavenly destination of remote beaches, pristine dive sites, wildlife-rich rainforests and diverse nature. It’s a wonderful place to explore in search of that dream beach, while the main settlement of Con Son is one of Vietnam's most charming towns. Costly flights from the mainland have long limited tourist numbers, but now there are affordable and speedy boat links – expect Con Dao's popularity to soar.
Ba Be National Park
Detour off the regular Vietnam tourist trail in Ba Be National Park:, an essential destination for adventurous travellers, with towering limestone mountains, plunging valleys and evergreen forests. Waterfalls, caves and lakes combine in a landscape that sustains over 550 different plants and hundreds of different bird and animal species. Explore Ba Be’s natural spectacle by boat or on trekking and mountain-biking excursions, before relaxing and recharging in the rustic homestays and village guesthouses of the local Tay ethnic minority.
Coffee Time
Starbucks may now operate in Vietnam, but indigenous coffee culture: runs deep. Virtually every neighbourhood in every town will have a little cafe where locals go to de-stress from the office, the family or simply the traffic (most are located on quiet side streets with copious greenery to promote relaxation). Vietnamese coffee can be served hot or iced (a real treat in summer), either treacle-thick, or with milk (usually sweetened and condensed) for a double-whammy caffeine-sugar kick. And for something completely different, order a Vietnamese coffee with coconut, yoghurt or even an egg.
Sapa Trekking
Undulating rice terraces cascade down to valleys inhabited by Hmong, Red Dzao and Giay villages. Up above, the sinuous ridges of the Hoang Lien Mountains (dubbed the Tonkinese Alps by the French) touch the sky. Brushed with every shade of green in the palette, the countryside surrounding Sapa: is a showcase of northern Vietnam’s most superb rural vistas and a fascinating glimpse into the country’s astounding cultural diversity. This is prime territory for digging out your walking boots and hitting the trails.
Dalat
Dalat: is as popular now with travellers as it was in the days when French colonial officials came to this laidback town in the southwest highlands to escape the lowland heat. These days, adventure sports are the draw with abseiling, canyoning, mountain biking, hiking, whitewater rafting and kayaking all possible in the temperate climate. But Dalat is also the honeymoon capital of Vietnam, a charming town dotted with grand colonial-era villas, set amidst pine groves and flower gardens, and centred on a pretty lake.
Battle Sites
In the centre of Vietnam, the DMZ: has the greatest concentration of battle sites from the American War (and some excellent tour operators to get you around them). Down south the Cu Chi Tunnels are a very popular day trip from Ho Chi Minh City, while there are numerous war sites around Vung Tau, which was a big ANZAC base. In the far north, Dien Bien Phu should not be missed: there's a good modern museum here to explain the significance of the battle that precipitated the French expulsion from Indochina.
Mui Ne
Perhaps the adrenaline epicentre of Vietnam, the prosperous beach resort of Mui Ne: is a kitesurfing capital with world-class wind and excellent schools for professional training. Sailing, golf and hot-air ballooning are also popular. The resort itself boasts more than 20km of palm-fringed beachfront that stretches invitingly along the shores of the South China Sea (East Sea). From guesthouses to boutique resorts, boho bars to good-value spas, Mui Ne has a broad appeal, and is readily accessible from Ho Chi Minh City.
Angkor Wat
Over the border in Cambodia, the vast temples of Angkor form one of the world’s most magnificent sights. Choose from Angkor Wat itself, the world’s largest religious building; Bayon, with its immense stone faces; or Ta Prohm, where nature runs amok. Siem Reap is the base for exploring Angkor and is a buzzing destination with a superb selection of restaurants and bars. Beyond the temples await exciting activities and cultural pursuits from quad biking and ziplining to cooking classes and birdwatching.

What is Sweden known for?
Sweden
- Sweden, country located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in northern Europe.
- The name Sweden was derived from the Svear, or Suiones, a people mentioned as early as 98 ce by the Roman author Tacitus.
- The country’s ancient name was Svithiod.
- Stockholm has been the permanent capital since 1523.
Sweden has so much to offer, here are some of the things Sweden is known for.
Stockholm
The nation’s capital calls itself ‘beauty on water’, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint in the looks department. Stockholm’s many glittering waterways reflect slanted northern light onto spice-hued buildings, and the crooked cobblestone streets of Gamla Stan are magic to wander. Besides its aesthetic virtues, Stockholm: also has top-notch museums, first-class dining and all the shopping anyone could ask for. Its clean and efficient public transport, and multilingual locals, make it a cinch to navigate, and at the end of the day you can collapse in a cushy designer hotel.
Norrland Hiking, Abisko
Sweden has some absolutely gorgeous hiking trails, most of which are well maintained and supplied with conveniently located mountain huts along the way. The season is relatively short, but it’s worth a bit of extra planning to get out into the wilderness: its natural landscape is one of Sweden’s best assets. A good place to start your venture is the Norrland village of Abisko:, at the top of the Kungsleden long-distance trail – it's a hiker headquarters and easily reached by train.
Northern Delights, Kiruna
The twin phenomena that have made the north of Sweden so famous – one natural, one artificial – are both found beyond the Arctic Circle. No other natural spectacle compares to the aurora borealis: the shape-shifting lights that dance across the night sky during the Arctic winter (October to March). The Icehotel, humble igloo turned ice palace just outside Kiruna:, takes its inspiration from the changeable nature of the northern lights – once re-created each winter, it is now a year-round phenomenon.
Medieval Visby
It’s hard to overstate the beauty of the Hanseatic port town of Visby:, in itself justification for making the ferry trip to Gotland. Inside its thick medieval walls are twisting cobblestone streets, fairy-tale cottages draped in flowers and gorgeous ruins atop hills with stunning Baltic views. The walls themselves, with 40-plus towers and the spectacular church ruins within, are a travel photographer’s dream, and the perimeter makes an ideal scenic stroll. The city is also a food-lover’s heaven, packed with top-notch restaurants accustomed to impressing discriminating diners.
Ambitious Menus, Stockholm
Traditionally, basic Swedish cuisine is a humble, healthy enterprise based on fish, potatoes and preserved meat. But in recent years the country’s top chefs have pushed the boundaries, so that alongside classic everyday dishes such as fried herring or meatballs, or even more exotic northern fare like Arctic char or reindeer with wild berries, you’ll find innovative, experimental dishes that are fiercely global in influence and ambition. There's also a new emphasis on vegetarian cuisine:. Dining out can be an adventure and an experience.
Gothenburg
The humble sibling to Stockholm’s confident polish, Gothenburg: is a city of slick museums, raw industrial landscapes, pleasant parks, can-do designers and cutting-edge food. Try delectable shrimp and fish – straight off the boat or at one of the city’s five Michelin-rated restaurants. There’s the thrill-packed chaos of Sweden’s largest theme park, the cultured quiet of the many museums, and you can’t leave without window-shopping in the Haga and Linné districts. For a unique way of getting there, jump on a boat and wander the 190km of the Göta Canal.
Kingdom of Crystal
In the Glasriket: (Kingdom of Crystal) a rich mix of skill and brawn combine to produce stunning (and often practical) works of art. Watch local glass-blowers spin bubbles of molten crystal into fantastic creatures, bowls, vases and sculptures. Choose something for the mantelpiece or try glass-blowing for yourself at the well-stocked centres in Kosta and Orrefors. For background on the 500-year-old industry there’s Smålands Museum in Vaxjo, and for the ultimate finish enjoy a cocktail at Kjell Engman’s cobalt-blue bar at the Kosta Boda Art Hotel.
Gotland and Fårö
Merchants in the 12th and 13th centuries dotted the beautiful island of Gotland: with fabulous churches. Today, Gotland’s lovely ruins, remote beaches, idyllic bike- and horse-riding paths, peculiar rock formations, excellent restaurants and rousing summer nightlife attract visitors from all over the world. The event of the season is Medieval Week, which brings Visby’s old town alive with costumes, re-enactments and markets. Film buffs and nature lovers will want to head north to visit Ingmar Bergman’s stomping ground of Fårö:.
Stockholm Archipelago
Scattered between the city and the open Baltic Sea, this archipelago: is a mesmerising wonderland of small rocky isles, some no more than seagull launch pads, others studded with deep forests and fields of wildflowers. Most are within easy striking distance, a few hours from the city, with regular ferry services in summer and several organised tours designed for island-hopping. Hostels, campgrounds and more upmarket slumber options make an overnight stay a good option, as does the growing number of excellent restaurants.
Bohuslän Coast
Caught between sky and sea, the coast of Bohuslän is raw and starkly beautiful, its skerries thick with birds and its villages brightly painted specks among the rocks. Choose from myriad quaint seaside boltholes. Film star Ingrid Bergman loved pretty Fjällbacka:, the bargain-hunting Norwegians flock to Strömstad and every sailor knows Tjörn is the place to be in August for the round-island regatta. For a real taste of Swedish summer, spread your beach blanket on a smooth rock and tuck into a bag of peel-and-eat shrimp.
Vikings Village – Foteviken
There are still real, live Vikings, and you can visit them at one of Sweden’s most absorbing attractions. An evocative ‘living’ reconstruction of a late–Viking Age village, Foteviken Viking Reserve: was built on the coast near the site of the Battle of Foteviken (1134) and contains some 22 reed-roofed houses. You can tour all of these, check out the great meeting hall, see a war catapult and buy Viking-made handicrafts. It’s all admirably legit, too – the reserve’s residents hold to old traditions, laws and religions.
Winter Sports, Åre
Winter sports in Lappland are a major draw. To go cross-country skiing, just grab a pair of skis and step outside; for downhill sports, be it alpine, heli-skiing or snowboarding, Åre: is your best bet. And those are far from your only options. Few pastimes are as enjoyable as rushing across the Arctic wasteland pulled by a team of dogs, the sled crunching through crisp snow – but if you prefer something with a motor, you can test your driving (and racing) skills on the frozen lakes instead.
Inlandsbanan to Gällivare
Take a journey through Norrland along this historic train line: (summer only), which passes small mining towns, deep green forests, herds of reindeer and, if you’re lucky, the occasional elk (moose). Built during the 1930s and rendered obsolete by 1992, the line has more than enough charm and historical appeal to make up for its lack of speed – you’ll have plenty of time to contemplate the landscape, in other words. It’s a beautiful, oddball means of transport, best suited to those for whom adventure trumps efficiency.
Gammelstad
There is an abundance of Unesco World Heritage–recognised treasures in Sweden. A fine example is Gammelstad church town: near Luleå. The largest church town in the country, it was the medieval centre of northern Sweden; visiting feels a bit like time travel. The village's stone Nederluleå Church (built in 1492) has a reredos worthy of a cathedral and choir stalls for a whole consistory, and there are 424 wooden houses where rural pioneers stayed overnight on their weekend pilgrimages.
Vasamuseet
Stockholm's unique Vasamuseet: is a purpose-built preservation and display case for an ancient sunken battleship. The ship was the pride of the Swedish Crown when it set out in August 1628, but pride quickly turned to embarrassment when the top-heavy ship tipped and sank to the bottom of Saltsjön, where it would await rescue for 300 years. The museum explains – in fascinating multimedia – how it was found, retrieved and restored, why it sank in the first place, and what it all means to the Swedish people.

What is Slovenia known for?
Slovenia
- Slovenia, country in central Europe that was part of Yugoslavia for most of the 20th century.
- Slovenia is a small but topographically diverse country made up of portions of four major European geographic landscapes—the European Alps, the karstic Dinaric Alps, the Pannonian and Danubian lowlands and hills, and the Mediterranean coast.
- Easily accessible mountain passes (now superseded by tunnels) through Slovenia’s present-day territory have long served as routes for those crossing the Mediterranean and transalpine regions of Europe.
Slovenia has so much to offer, here are some of the things Slovenia is known for.
Climbing Mt Triglav
They say you're not really a Slovene until you climb Mt Triglav: and get 'spanked' at the summit. And it’s all but stamped in locals' passports once they’ve made the trek up the country’s tallest mountain. The good news for the rest of us is that Triglav is a challenging but accessible peak that just about anyone in decent shape can conquer with an experienced guide. There are several popular approaches, but whichever path you choose, the reward is the same: sheer exhilaration.
Ljubljana
Slovenia’s capital city: effortlessly achieves that perfect pitch between size and quality of life. It’s big enough to offer lively clubs, theatre, exciting exhibitions and great concerts, yet small enough to walk – or better yet, cycle – around at a leisurely pace. And no place in Slovenia waltzes through architecture so adroitly as does the capital, from its ancient hilltop castle and splendid art nouveau buildings to all of those wondrously decorative pillars, obelisks and orbs found everywhere designed by local boy Jože Plečnik.
Piran
Venice in Slovenia? That busy merchant empire left its mark up and down the Adriatic coast, and Slovenia was lucky to end up with one of the best-preserved medieval Venetian ports anywhere. It’s true that Piran: attracts tourist numbers on a massive scale in season, but the beautiful setting means it’s never less than a constant delight. Enjoy fresh fish on the harbour, then wander the narrow streets and end up for drinks and people-watching in a glorious central square.
River Adventures
Rarely does a river beckon to be rafted as convincingly as does Slovenia’s Soča:. Maybe it’s that piercing sky-blue-bordering-on-green – or is it turquoise? – colour of the water, or the river’s refreshing froth and foam as it tumbles down the mountains. Even if you’re not the rafting type, you’ll soon find yourself strapping on a wetsuit for that exhilarating ride of the summer. Outfitters in Bovec, Bled and Kobarid specialise in guided rafting trips. For gentler floats, try the Krka River.
Lake Bled
With its sky-blue lake, picture-postcard church on a tiny island, a medieval castle clinging to a rocky cliff and some of the country’s highest peaks as backdrops, Bled: seems to have been designed by the very god of tourism. But Slovenia's biggest draw is more than just a pretty face. There’s a lively cultural calendar during the summer months and a raucous adventure scene too, with diving, cycling, rafting and canyoning, among other active pursuits. The town is blessed with excellent campgrounds, hostels and hotels.
Postojna Cave
The cave system at Postojna: is Slovenia’s biggest subterranean attraction. The rather innocent-looking entrance might not look like much at first, but when you get whisked 4km underground on a train and only then begin exploring, you start to get a sense of the scale. The caverns are a seemingly endless parade of crystal fancies – from frilly chandeliers and dripping spaghetti-like stalactites to paper-thin sheets and stupendous stalagmites, all laid down over the centuries by the simple dripping of mineral-rich water.
Ptuj
Its name might sound like a cartoon character spitting, but Ptuj: is no joke. Rather, it’s one of Slovenia’s richest historical towns. Everyone since the Romans over the centuries has left their mark here, and the centre is still a maze of red roofs and medieval streets, dotted with churches, towers and museums, as well as street cafes to enjoy the passing scenes. Ptuj has great hotels and restaurants and is within easy reach of some of the country's best wine-producing regions.
Crossing the Vršič Pass
Making your way – whether by car or (yikes!) on bike – across this breathtakingly scenic Alpine pass: that zigs and zags through peaks and promontories, it’s hard not to think of the poor Russian WWI POWs who were forced in the dead of winter to build the road – now called the Ruska cesta (Russian road) in their honour. This summer-only roadway links Kranjska Gora with Bovec, 50km to the southwest, and includes a number of photo-op rest stops and several mountain huts along the way.
Predjama Castle
Slovenia is over-endowed in castles and caves, but one inside the other? Now that's something special. Few fortresses have a setting as grand as this, wedged halfway up a cliff face at the foot of the valley:. The location has a story behind it that’s equally dramatic: Slovenia’s ‘Robin Hood’, Erazem Lueger, apparently taunted besieging troops here by hurling fresh cherries at them that he collected via a secret passage. He came to a swift and rather embarrassing end, however.
Škocjan Caves
Where Postojna Cave is entirely baroque, the caves at Škocjan: are positively Gothic. It’s all about the melodrama here – think Jules Verne, Tolkien and Wagner rolled up in one. Forget crawling around in tiny underground spaces; the Murmuring Cave has walls reaching something like a hundred metres high, while the Cerkevnik Bridge crosses a gloomy chasm with a 45m plunge to where the Reka River carves its way through the rock. Visiting the caves is a truly awesome experience.
Vipava Valley Wines
Slovenia is blessed with the means to produce some of the region's best wines and the Vipava Valley: particularly stands out among the country's three wine-making regions. It enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate freshened by cold winter winds, making it the ideal destination for those wanting to treat their palates. Wineries with some of the best merlots in the world? Check. The best air-dried pršut ham? Yep. Pick up some local fruits and olives and you’ve got a Slovenian picnic to remember.
Traditional Spas
A spa in Central Europe can often mean a fusty 19th-century royal relic with lots of great architecture but not much in the way of modern treatments. Slovenia’s natural and thermal spas have the architecture, but more importantly they offer a wealth of high-quality wellness and beauty treatments, including massage, mud baths, saunas, warm sea-water baths and more. Most of the spas are situated in the eastern half of the country and usually offer in-house (or nearby) accommodation as well; Dolenjske Toplice: is a fine spot to take the waters.
Folklore Festivals
Expect lots of booze, colourful costumes and accordion music as Slovenes let their hair down at centuries-old folklore festivals. The best known is Kurentovanje:, a rite-of-spring party celebrated at Ptuj in the days leading up to Shrove Tuesday and the start of Lent. Jurjevanje: in Črnomelj in June celebrates an ancient Slavic deity called Green George and is Slovenia's oldest international folklore festival. The zany Cows' Ball in the towns around Lake Bohinj in September sees bovines trip the light fantastic.
Rustic-Glam Accommodation
To enhance Slovenia’s clean, green appeal to travellers, locals are embracing and redefining the art of 'glamping'. Unique sleeps are springing up in scenic locales; some are heavy on the clever camping element (sleeping in 'pods' in Bela Krajina:) while others emphasise the glamour (safari tents: with private hot tubs in Bled). Some are not-quite-camping but far from regulation hotel rooms: beds in wine barrels in Ptuj, haylofts in Logarska Dolina and even under the herb garden in the Vipava Valley. An inventive and fun way to escape the everyday.

Flag of Bermuda
Description of flag of Bermuda
British overseas territorial flag consisting of a red field (background) with the Union Jack in the upper hoist corner and, at the fly end, a badge bearing the Bermudian coat of arms—a shield bearing a lion holding a smaller gold-bordered shield that depicts a sinking ship; the flag may be described as a defaced British Red Ensign. The flag’s width-to-length ratio is 1 to 2.
