#havefoodwilltravel

- Lee Drake

Food is as good an excuse to travel as any and often the local cuisine is an adventure in itself. Food can tell stories of wars fought, lands colonized, cultures merged. Travel and food go hand in hand but, as the world becomes more accessible, where are the best cities for foodies?

As airfares decrease in price and the world’s farthest reaches become not-so-far-flung, food based travel is an increasingly popular option. The world’s greatest restaurants are more accessible than ever and the tastiest food and most refreshing drinks are just a plane hop away.

1. HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM

The hectic buzz and verve of Vietnam’s largest city is matched only by the vibrant nature of its cuisine. Drawing on its colonial history, Ho Chi Minh City blends French and Vietnamese flavors and styles. The famous sandwich, the banh mi, is just one such beautiful result of the European and Asian cultures coming together.
