How to get to Vietnam
By plane
Currently, there are several ways to get to Vietnam:
- Flights Novosibirsk-Ho Chi Minh (S7 airline);
- Sheremetyevo-Hanoi flights (two flights a week, Aeroflot airline).
Among other things, it is possible to fly to the South Korean city of Seoul, where you can transfer to one of the direct flights to Vietnam of AirAsia. This option is optimal for tourists traveling from the Far East. Tickets for flights of this airline are cheap, which makes the trip affordable for most people. You can also fly to Bangkok, the capital city in Thailand, and then take the opportunity to fly to Vietnam from there, while saving a lot of money. Remember: you can fly to Vietnam inexpensively from almost any Asian country, but many planes land at the airports of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. After that, tourists can get to the desired Vietnamese cities by domestic flight or land transport.
Transport in Vietnam
For visitors to the country, an excellent option for traveling between distant cities is the domestic flights of Jetstar Pacific or Vietnam Airlines. Often, planes operate flights between the largest cities – Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi (about 10 departures per day), but in a similar way you can get to other large cities in the country. The cost of such a flight is quite democratic and starts from 450,000 VND one way.
You can use the railway, as trains in Vietnam are comfortable and run on schedule, without delay. The main route, of course, is Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh City, the duration of the trip is 30 hours, the ticket price is from 1,100,000 VND
Intercity bus service in Vietnam should be used for short trips: long journeys due to frequent speed limits on highways will take much longer than planned. At the same time, transportation by transport is a fairly budget option (the Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh trip costs 450,000 VND).
Urban transport is quite developed in large Vietnamese cities, for example, there are taxis, bicycles and motor rickshaws (a covered motor scooter and a bicycle for transporting cargo and passengers).
Transport rental in Vietnam
In important tourist centers and large cities in Vietnam, you can rent a moped or bicycle. Many tourists prefer a moped, and there is no need for a driver’s license.
Renting a car in the country is mainly possible only with a driver, as there is no organization of local traffic and traffic rules are rarely followed, so it is very easy to get into an accident here. The rental price is calculated by the day or based on the mileage of trips. A kilometer of the way on a rented car will cost 4500-6500 VND, depending on the distance of the trip (the farther, the lower the cost) and the brand of the car. One-day rental is from 800,000 VND.
Vietnamese money
The official currency of Vietnam is the dong (VND), in 1 dong – 10 hao, in 1 hao – 10 su. It is recommended to come to the country with dollars, as the euro exchange rate is not profitable enough. Despite this, tourists can easily exchange currency if necessary at exchange offices, jewelry stores, banks, while the difference will not be reflected in small amounts.
