NGT UK Jan/Feb 2020 issue

LONDON (6 December 2020) — This issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) takes a top to bottom look at Vietnam, tracing the country’s numerous highlights from north to south. A go-to destination for everyone from solo backpackers and holidaying families to hikers, bikers and birdwatchers, Vietnam retains its irresistible allure despite its growing popularity.

Take in the best treks through the mountainous north, the historic sights of Hanoi, the jade waters of Ha Long Bay, the cycling trails in the Mekong Delta and the densely packed sights of the centre, before exploring the atmospheric cities of the south and hitting the beach, where you’ll find some of the most pristine stretches of sand in Southeast Asia.

The results of the 2019 Reader Awards are also revealed in this issue. And in a special section, some of the lesser-known experiences in Latin America are uncovered, including exploring Uruguay’s winelands and dancing the bomba in Puerto Rico.

Plus, free with the magazine, National Geographic Traveller Food highlights 20 ‘slow burners’, whether complex or comfort, the dishes that require time, effort and a long simmer. Lisbon’s underrated wines are under the spotlight, Nashville’s smoky barbecue flavours are explored and the Italian classic tiramisu is deconstructed.
