Very good guide!
26. März 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
I believe the fellow from the other post missed the fact that Lonely Planet's Travel Guides are not written by a sole author, but rather by a team of several people.
This information easily undoes the math according to which it is not possible to go (or gather information) on all the places indicated in the Guide.
That being said, the Vietnam, together with the Myanmar, Cambodia and Korea Guides, was my first experience in travelling with Lonely Planet and, in the end, I was quite satisfed with it.
LP's guides contain a lot of interesting historical information and have very nice hotel and restaurant hints.
Bear in mind, however, that the publisher is much more interested in lower income countries and less expensive options.
Therefore, while the Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam guides were amazing, the Korea one was very disappointing. Furthermore, LP guides lack information on most luxurious tourism options.
If that is your intention, you should go to Frommer's (that, for instance, has a much better Korea guide.

Generally good all around guide

(Was ist das?)
Vietnam is a fast changing place. Since the time that they first opened up the country to visitors from the US, cities like Saigon have undergone so much construction that a guide book from just a few years ago is sure to be outdated. This one covers things from the old to the new. It's the result of about six months of research from people who visited the area, and covers a lot of ground.
The primary emphasis of any guide book should be to familiarize readers with the country, its regions, what parts to visit and what to expect there. This book does a good job of that, giving lots of details about everything from historical landmarks to beach resorts, and full color photos.
The book also gives you background about the country, its history, politics, and how things developed into what they are now. Understanding the background and culture is important for the enjoyment of any trip.
This book covers the major regions, cities, towns, and just about all the places that a tourist would be likely to go. It won't cover every little town, and in some cases, resort areas are covered well but the surrounding towns are hardly mentioned. If a place warrants a few paragraphs, it would not hurt to mention when it also has a world class resort rather than making sure to list 25 hotels in the city next to it.
On the other hand, there are far more places mentioned than a person could reasonably expect to cover in a several trips, and most hotels mentioned also have their websites or email address listed, making it easy to visit those, and visit travel websites for more specifics.
There's a lot of information on different ethnic groups, how different areas compare to each other, and even a crash course on the Vietnamese language and even a few phrases in some regional languages. It's tougher to cover a language like Vietnamese, and this book tends to emphasize northern pronunciations (it doesn't tell you that.) It also uses some phrases that should be worded differently depending on whether you are talking to a man or woman, somebody older or younger, etc. but it doesn't tell you that part either.
Nevertheless, you should have no problem getting around Vietnam when using this book as a starting point. You'll want to use it to research your trip, and use it as a hands on guide once you get to Vietnam. I've been to Vietnam four times in the last 15 years or so, and would have found this book very helpful. It doesn't cover every place I've been, but points out a lot of places I missed.

Almost perfect...

(Was ist das?)
I have never been to Vietnam and am seriously ignorant of the country and its cultures. I had help from one of my students who gave me her opinions of this book after I had read over it. Our opinions seemed to agree.
This is a most DETAILED travel guide. It contains not only suggested day to day itinerary but also organize the visits by geographic areas. It tells you the most popular and visit-worthy attractions. It is so comprehensive that even my Vietnamese student said she had never even heard of some of the places, even though she knew the surroundings.
I think if I were ever going to travel to Vietnam, I would definitely make use of it. The most useful things included, in my opinion, are the cultural pieces and safety guides. For example, immunization of certain disease before entering, the types of insects to watch out for in certain cities, street-smart advice, even preparation for police corruption. It cautions tourists about hotel and retail scams, and made good suggestions on bargaining while shopping. Prices are clearly outlined for each item that is talked about, even the price to enter a public toilet guarded by attendants.
It also contains pull-out maps of the most popular cities, which, I guess, may be useful. I figured I would use more detailed street maps if I were to travel to those places.
I also enjoyed learning about the different foods in different regions of Vietnam. I had no idea that beef noodle soup was not supposed to be eaten with the accompanying veggies inside the soup.
All in all, I just wished that in the actual itineraries it contains at least small photos of each attraction, so that at least I could know what the place looked like, and decide if I'd want to go there. Then again, I suppose you could always google the place first...
