This month’s cover story turns to Vietnam as it continues its journey from backpacker staple to a destination with increasingly universal appeal. As the nation marks 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War, we reveal the experiences that highlight the Southeast Asian country’s near-endless variety, from hill tribe hikes in the northern mountains of Mai Chau to food-focused adventures in the imperial city of Hue. Elsewhere, we discover Corsica’s rebel spirit, which can be felt across the Mediterranean island; meet the cowgirls leading backcountry horse treks in Canada's Rocky Mountains; enjoy a taste of old-world glamour in Positano, Ravello and beyond on Italy's Amalfi Coast; and follow in the footsteps of pilgrims and Roman legions on long-distance trails in Britain.
