Is Ho Chi Minh City safe to visit?

Ho Chi Minh City is as safe to visit as many other popular tourist destinations around the world. If you stick to the popular tourist destinations whilst you’re on your Ho Chi Minh City vacation, or you’re on a private Saigon day tour, you’re unlikely to run into any trouble - that’s not to say you shouldn’t exercise normal precautions though. Petty crime including bag thefts and other valuables are still fairly common in the city, especially in the form of motorcycle theft, where thieves on motorbikes drive by and steal your valuables from the street. 

Try to avoid carrying too many valuables with you when you go out, and certainly don’t leave anything unattended. One of the safest ways to explore the city is on one of our guided tours in Ho Chi Minh City, where your private local guide will take you round the best places in the city. Their local knowledge can help you to enjoy the best parts of the city without having to worry about keeping yourself safe - another benefit of our Ho Chi Minh tours!

Where can I stay in Ho Chi Minh City?

You won’t find it hard to find places to stay in Ho Chi Minh City. Whether you choose to stay in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City at District 1 or you stay a little further away from the action, there are places suitable for every type of traveler and budget. From 5 star hotels to more budget friendly hostels and inns, the dent in your wallet also depends on the location you stay at, so it’s important to weigh up all the factors before booking. Lots of our private tours in Saigon pick up and drop you off from your hotel, making exploring the city even easier!

What currency is used in Ho Chi Minh City?

The currency used in Ho Chi Minh City is the Vietnamese Dong. The best way to manage your money is to try and budget your daily expenses, and convert enough of your own currency into Dong to cover your spending - it’s quite easy to convert currency in Ho Chi Minh City, available in major tourist areas including banks, airports and hotels in some areas. 

Some places, especially those with heavy tourist attractions, may have the option to charge you in other currencies, but it’s always best to pay in Vietnamese Dong to avoid less favorable conversion rates after you’ve paid. Alternatively, on many of our Saigon tours, we’ll cover paying for all your entrance fees and food so you don’t have to worry about it yourself - at least for its duration!

Is Ho Chi Minh City expensive?

Despite being one of the more expensive areas in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is cheap compared to some other holiday destinations around the world. Although you can generally live very cheaply in the city, including budget friendly accommodation, meals and affordable Ho Chi Minh City excursions, as with anywhere in the world, it’s easy to spend more by choosing luxury hotels and eating in posh restaurants. A great way to save some cash is to take Saigon tours, where attraction entrance fees, meals and even transportation is included - meaning you don’t have to worry about blowing your budget on getting around and taking in the sights.

How long should I stay in Ho Chi Minh City?
