Besides being famous for its scenery and culture, Vietnam is also known as a "coffee paradise," according to Booking.com, a booking app based in over 220 countries and territories.

Vietnam's centuries-old history of coffee cultivation has made it one of the leading countries in the production and export of this bean. Coffee culture permeates and extends from vibrant cities to suburban areas, offering coffee lovers a variety of experiences.

On October 2nd, Booking.com released suggestions for 5 ideal destinations for travelers passionate about exploring coffee culture in Vietnam, aiming to inspire travelers on their upcoming trips . The list is ranked in random order, based on expert and traveler votes, considering factors such as coffee quality, number of cafes, local popularity of the beverage, and signature products.

Hanoi - Egg Coffee

The Vietnamese capital is a blend of the ancient and the modern, boasting a variety of trendy cafes, upscale restaurants, and charming roadside eateries. Egg coffee is one of Hanoi's most famous specialties, beloved by both domestic and international tourists.

Egg coffee is a combination of coffee, egg yolks, condensed milk, and sugar, creating a smooth and fragrant drink. Visitors can stop by Giang Cafe to enjoy this beverage or participate in the Hanoi Coffee Workshop to learn more about Vietnamese coffee culture.

Hai Phong - coconut coffee

Hai Phong is known as the "city of red flamboyant flowers," but not all tourists know that it also has the famous coconut coffee. For many, this drink is more like a dessert than coffee, but it's always on the list of must-try items when visiting the city.

Coconut coffee consists of coconut milk, fresh milk, condensed milk, and coffee. The rich, creamy coconut milk is said to enhance the sweetness and soften the bitterness of the coffee.

Hue - Salted Coffee

Besides its historical sites and rich cuisine, the ancient capital of Hue is also known as the birthplace of salted coffee.

Salted coffee tastes best when served with ice.

This drink is described by Booking's culinary experts as a bold combination of Vietnamese coffee and salt, a successful "comeback" in adding a touch of saltiness to the familiar coffee experience.

Enjoying a cup of salted coffee at a local shop or a small roadside stall is a unique experience for tourists visiting Hue.

Buon Ma Thuot - Vietnamese filter coffee

Buon Ma Thuot, the coffee capital of Vietnam, is a place where visitors can immerse themselves in the diverse world of coffee. Here, tourists can tour coffee plantations spanning tens of hectares, learn about the processing methods, and enjoy the rich flavor of a cup of filter-brewed black coffee.

A must-see destination is the World Coffee Museum, where visitors can explore global coffee culture through interactive exhibits showcasing over 10,000 artifacts.
