Itinerary Overview

Important Notes Before Traveling

• • The best way to get to Ho Chi Minh City is by flying to Tan Son Nhat International Airport, which is about 7 km from the city center. There are many options for getting from the airport to the city, such as taxi, bus, or Grab (a popular ride-hailing app in Southeast Asia).

• • The currency used in Vietnam is the Vietnamese dong (VND). One US dollar is equivalent to about 23,000 VND. It is advisable to exchange some money at the airport or at a reputable bank or hotel in the city. Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops, but cash is preferred for street vendors and small businesses.
