Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Vietnamese Dong, VND
Exchange money at banks or dedicated exchange shops in the Old Quarter or French Quarter; avoid airport counters and tourist-oriented bureaux which offer poor rates. Bring cash as many local vendors don't accept cards.
Card acceptance is limited outside hotels and larger restaurants; contactless/mobile pay (Momo, ZaloPay) is increasingly common among younger vendors but cash remains essential for most local transactions.
Tipping is not expected or traditional in Vietnam; rounding up or leaving 5-10% is appreciated but optional at restaurants, and not customary for taxis or hotel staff.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Always negotiate prices at markets and with cyclo drivers; stick to local eateries away from tourist zones for 30-50% savings. Use Grab or buses instead of metered taxis, which often overcharge foreigners.

Top Attractions in Hanoi
💡 Start at Hang Bac (Silver Street) around 9am – the silver workshops are fascinating. Avoid motorbikes by sticking to the narrowest alleys. Street food here costs 20-40,000 VND a dish.
💡 Walk the lake at 6am to see locals doing tai chi and badminton. Sunset is crowded with photographers but worth it for the light on Turtle Tower.
💡 Book the 5:15pm show to avoid tourist crowds. Sit in row C or D – row A gets wet from splashes. Arrive 20 minutes early to see the puppets being prepared backstage (ask nicely).
💡 Go early on a weekday to avoid tour groups. The back garden has a banyan tree and koi pond that most people miss.
💡 The outdoor section is the highlight – allow 2 hours. Go on a Saturday when ethnic minority guides sometimes give free tours. Taxi from the centre costs 50,000 VND.
