Vietnam, Laos & Kambodscha mit "Tonle Sap, Ballonfahrt & geheimes Angkor"

About the destination: Hanoi, Vietnam's capital and its second largest city, is one of the most enchanting cities in Asia with a unique personality. Years of foreign occupation have left an imprint on this city, as evidenced by the intriguing museums, historical buildings, pagodas, mausoleum, and its own French quarter, all of which contribute to the city's distinctive ambiance. The best way to familiarize yourself with Hanoi is by foot. The historical center isn't very large, and many attractions are located there or in the immediate vicinity. Walking is the best way to interact with the friendly locals. Hanoi is known as a city of lakes due to the numerous lakes and trees scattered throughout the city. The largest lake is the West Lake, Ho Tay, and the most famous in the city center is the Lake of the Restored Sword, Ho Hoan Kiem. What's beautiful about Hanoi is the interesting architectural contrasts, ranging from the traditional old buildings of the Old Quarter to the grand European-style buildings of the French Quarter to the Communist monuments at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and surrounding areas. Not to mention the beautiful traditional architecture of its temples, such as the Quan Su Pagoda. Hanoi is a city of both peace and hustle, bustling with street life and exotic markets, yet serene around the tranquil pagodas and temples. The City of the Soaring Dragon is a must-visit destination in Vietnam.

About the destination: Luang Prabang, literally meaning "Royal Buddha Image," is the capital city of Luang Prabang Province in north-central Laos.

About the destination: Phnom Penh, situated at the junction of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, is the capital and the largest city of Cambodia. The city has a strong French influence, so much so that it was once referred to as the Paris of the East. The French were responsible for the development of the canal system, ports, roads, and buildings in the city. Although much of the city's French charm has faded, a few beautiful French colonial buildings still remain. The Riverside district, known for its delightful river walk, is filled with hotels, restaurants, and bars that overlook the river, making it a convenient location for visiting the main tourist sites. The primary tourist attractions in Phnom Penh include the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, the Killing Fields, the National Museum, the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda, and the Wat Phnom temple. Currently, Phnom Penh is one of the fastest-growing cities in Southeast Asia, boasting high-end cuisine, a vibrant arts scene, and a wide variety of markets. Phnom Penh is a worthwhile destination and serves as a convenient base for exploring the rest of the country.
