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.
