In an article published on February 19, the travel magazine stressed that Vietnam will get travellers out of their comfort zone with affordable, beautiful, and warm graduation trips.
It also suggested that graduates make a celebratory vacation in Vietnam by getting lost in the sea of mopeds in Hanoi and slurping pho on stools along the sidewalk, or heading up to Ha Long Bay, where they can tour its limestone islands on a junk boat.
They can also enjoy an urban metropolis like Ho Chi Minh City, wander the Binh Tay Market, or visit Vietnam's only Taoist temple — Khanh Van Nam Vien Pagoda — before cruising along the Mekong Delta and getting to know the locals at the Cai Rang Floating Market.
Other destinations in the Lonely Planet’s list included Mexico, Greece, Costa Rica, New Orleans, Louisiana, New York City, South Africa, Iceland, and Italy.
