Is it necessary to carry cash? Wouldn’t cards take you al along? Places to visit in Hanoi - the usual touristy place look expensive, scammy Any precautions or heads up
P.S. Female travelling alone
Yea I have travelled multiple times. Both for work and leisure. Lovely place. Some tips:
Enjoy your time there
Thanks this is great. That dot one freaks out for starters, the visa was 6L VND which roughly got 2.1K. 6L in our currency is definitely lot 😂
Wait till you get bills in the millions for dinner.
When are you travelling? I'm also going to vietnam this October, solo traveller.
September
Ohh September ! Safe travels!
Have you already made an itinerary ? I'm considering carrying $200 in cash and using a forex card for the rest, but idk if it's a good choice. It would be great if you could share your experiences with me so I can plan my October trip more effectively! 😄
Better to take USD from here and convert it there. For transportation, you can use grab and gojek app. You can buy a data sim at the airport. Forex cards and credit cards will work there
Great choice of holiday destination. As a solo female traveller asking questions on how to carry money, you're in luck - the name of the Vietnamese currency is the cause of unending hilarity.
The country is super safe all throughout and has loads to do.
Hanoi is great for a relaxed holiday - french quarters, walkabouts, etc.
HCMC is the place with things to do. Would strongly recommend the CuChi tunnels (take the fastboat tours only. Avoid the bus tours), the War Museum and the nightlife - the clubs and the street life. Avoid the Mekong Delta if its your first visit.
Don't miss trying out a different coffee every 3 hours.
Also a great place to shop for women's clothes - plenty of big stores which are on-point on global trends. Vietnam exports apparel and you get great bargains.
Happy travelling.
Thank you this is wonderful
Larger cities - restos and hotels accept card. But you’ll need lots of cash. Best to exchange approx 100 USD at a time. Bring fresh crisp 100 USD notes that will give you the best exchange rate.
