Travel guide
Domestic flights link major cities; trains and sleeper buses connect regions scenically.
Pho, banh mi, bun cha, and fresh Vietnamese coffee.
Hoi An's tailors, Hanoi's Old Quarter, and local markets for lacquerware and silk.
Ho Chi Minh City's bar streets and Hanoi's beer corner (Ta Hien Street).
Affordable tourist SIMs widely available at airports and shops.
Cash is preferred outside cities; ATMs are common in urban areas.
Decent 4G in cities; connectivity thins out in remote mountain areas.
Bargain politely at markets, and be cautious crossing busy streets — walk steadily, don't stop.
