FAQs
Yes, Vietnam is generally a very safe destination for tourists. The country is known for its friendly and welcoming locals who are often eager to help travelers. Violent crime against foreigners is extremely rare, and Vietnam has a stable political environment with low levels of civil unrest. Tourist areas, transportation hubs, and popular destinations are well-policed, ensuring a secure environment for visitors.
Most hotels, cafes, and restaurants offer free Wi-Fi. You can also purchase a local SIM card with data at the airport or in city centers for reliable access throughout your trip. Major providers include Viettel, Vinaphone, and Mobifone.
Currently, no specific vaccinations are required for entry into Vietnam. It’s best to consult your doctor for personalized advice, but for most travelers, additional vaccinations are not necessary.
The best time to visit depends on the region. Generally, spring (February to April) and autumn (August to October) are ideal for most parts of Vietnam due to mild temperatures and minimal rainfall. However, northern areas like Hanoi and Sapa are beautiful in winter, while southern beaches are sunny and warm year-round.
Bring lightweight, breathable clothing, especially in summer. For the north during winter, pack warmer layers as it can get chilly. Don’t forget comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a raincoat or umbrella if you’re traveling during the rainy season.
Many nationalities require a visa to enter Vietnam, though some are eligible for visa exemptions or e-visas.

It’s advisable to carry some cash for purchases in local shop and markets.
While tipping is not obligatory in Vietnam, it is a common practice to show appreciation for tour guides and drivers who provide good service. For a full-day tour, a typical tip for a guide is around 5-10 USD per person, and about half of that amount for the driver.
