Tips For The Best Couple Getaways In Vietnam

Here is some essential travel advice for Vietnam to help you have the best couple-trip experience.

• Select a hotel that provides a complimentary airport shuttle service: In addition to saving passengers money on a costly airport transfer, this will also remove the chance of fraud.
• Three months in advance is the ideal time to arrange hotels and flights: Vietnam does provide visas on arrival to nationals of the majority of nations, but it’s advisable to verify what paperwork is required in advance and conduct some studies.
• Take note of some digestive issues: This typically occurs because it takes some time for visitors to become used to Vietnamese cuisine. To help you get acclimated to the food, it’s a good idea to start the trip with Vietnamese sandwiches and other fusion foods over the first few days.
• Use cash wherever feasible when traveling in Vietnam: Because credit cards might increase the risk of having your card information stolen. If you must use your credit card, make sure the place is trustworthy and keep an eye on the costs that appear later.
• Respect the local customs and values: It is necessary to embrace the local culture by respecting Vietnamese customs and traditions. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, remove your shoes when entering someone’s home or a temple, and be mindful of local customs and etiquette.
• Stay aware of scams: Like in any tourist destination, be aware of common scams and take necessary precautions. Use reputable tour operators, be cautious with your belongings, and avoid sharing personal information with strangers.
