Is Vietnam LGBTQ+ friendly?
In Vietnam, same-sex relationships are legal, same-sex marriage is banned and there are no workplace protections for LGBTQ+ people. Equaldex gives Vietnam an Equality Index of 52 out of 100.
Source: Equaldex, checked 1 October 2026.
Vietnam has made notable progress in LGBTQ+ rights in recent years, signaling a shift toward greater tolerance and inclusivity. While same-sex marriages are not legally recognized, the government took a significant step in 2015 by abolishing fines for same-sex marriages, signaling a move toward greater acceptance. Additionally, transgender rights have advanced, with legislation passed in the same year allowing individuals who have undergone gender reassignment surgery to legally register under their preferred gender.
Despite these positive developments, challenges remain for the LGBTQ+ community in Vietnam. There are no specific anti-discrimination laws protecting LGBTQ+ individuals, and societal acceptance can vary, with more progressive attitudes generally found in urban areas like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. In rural areas, traditional views can still prevail, creating a more challenging environment for LGBTQ+ individuals. However, the country’s LGBTQ+ community is vibrant and visible, with growing public support for LGBTQ+ rights, especially among younger generations.
Vietnam’s major cities host increasingly popular LGBTQ+ events and pride celebrations, and its cultural landscape is slowly evolving to reflect a more inclusive society. While Vietnam is not yet a fully supportive destination in terms of legal protections, it remains an emerging hub for LGBTQ+ travelers, offering a unique blend of tradition and progressive change.

Vietnam: The Highlights
Vietnam. I hear the name, and still can't quite believe I'm going. It's possibly my generation, but the name just conjures up the sounds of Cavatina from the Deer Hunter, the controversial war, harsh communism and 'that' image of a girl running from weapons of atrocity. I'm braced for impact. What looks like paddy fields rush past below on approach to the airport.

Vietnam: The best things to do in Hue
This is a whistle-stop tour of Vietnam, so we're back to Dragon Air and a short trip to the cultural wonderland of Hue. If you have plenty of time, it's well worth considering travelling by Land. Trains are available and much cheaper, but they're a little less reliable and if you're after quality you're going to be disappointed. The up side is that you can truly appreciate the beauty of this country.

General information
Our vacations to Vietnam will allow you to see the best parts. Start in Ho Chi Minh City and visit the war remnants museum and the Jade Emperor Pagoda. Visit the Binh Tay Market where you can pick up all your local goodies.
The next stop we recommend is Hoi An, which is famous for its Chinese lanterns. This cute historic city offers a different experience compared to the other larger cities you will be visiting.
Your penultimate stop is going to be Hanoi which is the capital city of Vietnam. Spend a few days exploring from top to bottom. Hanoi is filled with lots of great places to visit including the Temple of Literature and the Hoa Lo Prison Museum.
Save the best till last and visit Halong Bay which is just off the coast of Hanoi. Board your boat and cruise around the bay which is scattered with tiny little islands. Dive off your boat and swim in the bay. You can join a group or opt for your very own private ship. Dine on board and enjoy top quality Vietnamese food whilst watching the sunset. We have three wonderful blogs, written by one of our travel gurus about his experience in Vietnam. He discusses the Highlights of Vietnam, a guide to the city of Ho Chi Minh and he talks about the best things to do in Hue, which is a city between Hoi An and Hanoi.
