Ninh Binh Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Tam Coc 0 km cafe — a very stylish local spot

A very cozy local cafe with a nice fusion of Vietnamese and international dishes in the menu. I chose local fried fish, and I didn't regret it. The interior design is very well thought, there are so many interesting small details. The plates and cups are also very interesting, some kind of rustic style. There is also a good choice of drinks in the menu, I specifically enjoyed Margarita Nhà hàng Tam Cốc 0km - it's name on the map. #tamcoc #vietnamesefood

Breathtaking tour through grottoes and caves

This natural caves and grottoes complex were awarded UNESCO heritage award. We booked a boat ride through the caves, temples and grottoes. The boat is using maneuvered manually without any assisted motor to ensure the nature is not disturbed by human intervention. The boat lady really amazed us by her riding skill (we were a party of 6 people). She also shared with us the story of this complex, the caves and the temples nearby. Along the way, you can stop at these places for a leg stretch and mesmerize the beauty of nature. It’s so stunning that these limestone caves were formed years ago and still remained majestic. Definitely will come back to try another route to explore this area more. Do tip the boat guide as they earn very little from the ticket sale by the company who manages this complex. #vietnam #ninhbinh #trangan

Cu achy Tunnels - Vietnam

#passionpassport The most popular trip out of Ho Chi Minh City is to the Cu Chi tunnel complex, where villagers once dug themselves out of the range of American shelling. The tunnels of Cu Chi are often twinned with a tour around the beautiful Cao Dai Great Temple in Tay Ninh. There are two sites where the tunnels of Cu Chi can be seen – Ben Dinh and, 15km beyond, Ben Duoc, though most foreigners get taken to Ben Dinh. A few kilometres off Highway 22, in the town of Long Hoa, sits the enigmatic Cao Dai Great Temple, or Cathedral, of the Holy See of Tay Ninh. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #travelinspiration #traveladdict

•From fresh to stress• We made it guys. Getting literally squeezed down, we survived these breathtaking manmade tunnels at Cu Chi. I didn’t even know I have an asthma at this moment. I’m Wondering why Americans didn’t see it coming when their base was actually near around Viet’s tunneling strategy location. 🧐🙄 #happynewyear
