It buzzes with motorbikes, street food, French colonial landmarks, and a fast-modernizing skyline. Dive into a bowl of pho on a plastic stool, watch the rivers of scooters flow by, and feel the pulse of a city that never slows down!

Good to know before you go

The currency is the Vietnamese dong and cash is king, though cards work in cities. A brand-new metro line now links parts of the city, but most visitors get around with ride-hailing apps like Grab (for cars or motorbikes), which are cheap and easy; traffic is intense, so cross streets slowly and steadily and let the motorbikes flow around you. English is limited outside tourist spots, so a translation app is handy.

Entry requirements and health

e-Visa required

You'll need a visa for this one, but the whole thing is done online before you go. Apply a little ahead of your trip and travel with the approval in hand.

Vaccines and health

Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water. Malaria is present in some areas, so ask a clinic whether antimalarials make sense for your route.

General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
