Travel essentials — Ho Chi Minh City
| Topic | Info |
|---|---|
| Journey time | From London: 11.5–12 hours (1 stop via Bangkok, Singapore, or Doha). From Amsterdam: 11–11.5 hours (1 stop). From Frankfurt, Vienna, Prague: 10.5–12 hours (1 stop). Vietnam Airlines and Cathay Pacific have convenient routings. |
| Best season | December–April: dry season in the south (28–35°C) — the best time to visit HCMC and the Mekong Delta. May–November: rainy season (afternoon heavy showers). The north (Hanoi, Halong Bay) has different weather patterns — best October–April. |
| Daily budget | Budget: VND 400,000–700,000/day (guesthouse, pho/bánh mì from street stalls). Mid-range: VND 1,500,000–3,000,000/day (hotel, restaurant meals). Excellent value — a bowl of pho costs VND 40,000–80,000 (~€1.50–3). Approximate, April 2026. |
| Currency | Vietnamese Dong (VND). Very cash-heavy economy. Cards in upscale hotels and restaurants; cash for street food, local transport, and markets. Carry small denominations — the large numbers (100,000 VND = ~€4) confuse many visitors initially. |
| Timezone | ICT (UTC+7). No daylight saving. 7 hours ahead of London (winter), 6 hours in summer. |
| Visa (EU) | Most EU citizens: 45-day visa-free entry (introduced 2023). Some EU nationalities may need an e-visa — check your country specifically. Check your country’s eligibility and apply at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. |
| Safety | Generally safe for tourists but bag snatching and phone theft (often by motorbike) are the main issues — keep bags on the building side of pavements and phone in pocket. Taxi scams (especially at the airport) are common — use Grab exclusively or pre-arranged hotel taxis. Crossing the road in HCMC traffic requires commitment — step out steadily and slowly, motorbikes will flow around you. Emergency: 113 (police), 115 (ambulance). |
Getting around Ho Chi Minh City
Grab (ride-hail) is the safe, price-transparent option throughout Vietnam’s cities. Always use Grab rather than roadside taxis in HCMC. For long distances: trains (Vietnam Railways) are scenic and reliable. Sleeper buses connect cities affordably (~VND 250,000–400,000 for 10–12 hour journeys). Approximate sleeper bus fares, April 2026.
Highlights
War Remnants Museum (powerful and necessary), Cu Chi Tunnels, Ben Thanh Market for street food breakfast, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the French colonial Post Office, Jade Emperor Pagoda, and the rooftop bars of the Bitexco Financial Tower and Chill SkyBar in District 1. Mekong Delta day trip (floating markets at dawn) and Hoi An (a perfect preserved trading port 1 hour from Da Nang).
