Motorcycles are really the optimal means of travel in Vietnam, where there are many beautiful sights and delicious food, according to the writer of thetravel.com.

Motorcycles are probably the most perfect choice when traveling to Vietnam, commented writer Sara Capanna of thetravel.com.

Motorbikes are a popular means of transport for Vietnamese people, and also a means of choice for many tourists when coming to Vietnam. For those who still hesitate, Capanna gave the following reasons to convince them that riding a motorbike in Vietnam is an experience worth trying.

1. New culture and new friends: The perfect match!

One of the things that motivate people to travel is the opportunity to meet new faces and interact with indigenous people in the country or city they visit. And the experience of traveling by motorbike will make your trip even more enjoyable!

According to the website Vietnam motorbike tour.Asia, Vietnamese people are extremely friendly. People wave to you, and kids even run after you goodbye as you drive away. If you’re riding a motorbike, you can ask for directions and chat with the locals!

Don’t worry too much about the language barrier, in Vietnam there are many people who can speak English. But if you still hesitate, Vietnamese people will still welcome you with open arms, even if you don’t speak Vietnamese properly.

In addition, in Vietnam, there are also many motorbike and scooter tours, where you have the opportunity to meet “first-rate” travelers on the way to explore the S-shaped country.

2. Find delicious food in faraway places

A trip is not complete without experiencing the local cuisine, and Vietnam is famous for its rich street food and traditional dishes.

Even if you’re not an adventurous person in the culinary world, you can find globally popular and well-known dishes like beef noodle soup or banh mi.

If you travel by motorbike, you will have the opportunity to experience more closely the street food culture and traditional cuisine of Vietnam, especially in remote and isolated places. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a culinary experience in a village and hear stories about the history of specialties from the locals.

3. Freedom and flexibility

Traveling by motorbike gives you the freedom and flexibility that other vehicles do not have. You don’t have to follow a set schedule, there’s no telling how long you can stay in one place before moving to another, and you also have the right to skip places you don’t want to go.

When traveling by motorbike, you will enjoy the airy atmosphere, and see first-hand the natural landscape in the place you go.

You can also “adventure” a bit when taking small roads or shortcuts, and even stopping to ask locals for directions. Chances are you’ll then receive a “gift” from their generous hospitality: a free meal!

The most important thing is: traveling on a motorbike gives you unlimited freedom to create your own itinerary, and change it to your liking.

4. Optimal vehicle for sightseeing

For the above reasons, motorbikes are really the optimal means of travel to Vietnam, where there are many beautiful scenes and delicious food.

You can follow the Ho Chi Minh Road – a beautiful route for a trip through Vietnam.

You can take a closer look at the majestic mountains of Sapa, Bac Ha and Ha Giang. If you’re a fan of urban bustle, head to the capital, Hanoi – home to bustling traffic, impressive ancient pagodas and a fun Old Quarter. If you prefer a remote or quieter place, then visit Da Lat or Mui Ne.
