Top 5 things to do in Can Tho

Can Tho appears to be a thriving city at first appearance, with a steady stream of business running down the Hau River. But book a room on its leafy banks, taste its sun-ripened fruits and delicious river fish, and cruise through its steamy canals on sampans, and you'll soon realize Can Tho's large city exterior is only half the story. What about the other half? Sunrises over the sea that are misty, afternoons spent lounging in a hammock, and balmy evenings heralded by a chorus of insects. Can Tho stands out against the bright blue sky of the Mekong Delta.

Get ready for the floating markets

It's worth getting up early to see Can Tho's morning markets, which are teeming with colorful boats and exotic produce. The most well-known floating market in the area is Cái Răng, but consult your local host about smaller floating markets where you can interact with the sellers. Read more
