The Most Detailed Printed Map of Vietnam Available Today
Few countries captivate travellers quite like Vietnam—a place where emerald rice paddies stretch across misty valleys, bustling cities hum with motorbikes and street food, and quiet fishing villages dot a coastline that stretches for over 3,000 kilometres. From the ancient charm of Hội An to the high-octane energy of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is both timeless and ever-evolving.
To navigate it all with clarity and confidence, you need more than a standard guide—you need a map that truly understands the country. The Vietnam Travel Map (7th Edition) is just that: a two-sided, full-colour, cartographically rich resource that is the most detailed printed map of Vietnam available today.
Whether you're planning an overland journey from Hanoi to the Mekong Delta, seeking hidden towns off the tourist trail, or just want to follow Vietnam’s rapid urban expansion with precision, this is the map you’ll want in your hand—or on your wall.
📍 Why This Map Is Different
Unlike generic maps designed from afar, this map is created in Vietnam by cartographers who understand its terrain, infrastructure, and cultural complexity. It’s constantly updated to reflect the extraordinary pace of development that defines modern Vietnam, from new expressways to changing cityscapes.
In fact, during a recent field research trip to Hanoi, the cartographers noted:
-
A brand-new international terminal at Nội Bài Airport
-
A modern bridge spanning the Red River, easing traffic congestion
-
A newly opened expressway into the capital
-
Ongoing construction of Hanoi’s first rapid transit line, transforming urban mobility
It’s these kinds of real-time updates—documented on this edition—that make this map not just useful, but indispensable.
