You’ve probably seen it in the background of countless war movies, but nothing can prepare you for the epic beauty of traveling around Vietnam.
From the stunning views of Sam Mountain and Ha Long Bay to the man-made artistry of the sacred temples and pagodas to the rice terraces and beaches, Vietnam has a lot to offer travelers. There’s no denying that backpacking Vietnam (or simply just traveling here on a budget) is an experience filled with natural beauty, hectic cities, and delicious food.
Most people either love or hate traveling in Vietnam.
When I first went, there was a negative attitude towards foreign travelers (for good reason) but the country has warmed up a lot to visitors and Ho Chi Minh City has even become a hub for digital nomads.
From exploring the Old Quarter of Hanoi to the delicious food and fancy garments of Hoi An, Vietnam packs a lot to see and do into such a small area. You’ll find a lot to do in this country so take your time. Don’t rush your trip.
This budget travel guide to Vietnam can help you plan your trip, avoid common scams, and ensure you make the most of your visit.
