Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally lower during the rainy season (May to October). Book in advance, especially if travelling during Tet (Vietnamese New Year) or other major holidays. Look for hotels that include breakfast, as it's a convenient way to start your day.

Food to try

Try Pho, a flavorful noodle soup, available at almost every street corner and restaurant. Banh Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich, is a must-try for a quick and tasty meal; look for vendors with a long queue, a sign of freshness. For a unique experience, try a traditional Vietnamese coffee at a local cafe.

Getting around

Motorbikes are the primary mode of transport, but can be overwhelming for tourists; use app-based ride services like Grab. Taxis are readily available and metered, ensure the meter is running. Buses are an affordable option, but can be crowded and confusing for non-Vietnamese speakers.
