Don’t forget to buy Vietnamese Dong (VND) before your trip to Vietnam
During the recent years Vietnam has become a popular travel destination in Southeast Asia, where a traveller can enjoy long sandy beaches, fascinating cities, historical sights, green hills, idyllic mountain villages and excellent street food. One of the best things about Vietnam is its low price level. Almost everything is cheap in this country, from accommodation to food and public transport. The official currency of Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). One euro is about 25,000 dong. Cash is mostly used as a means of payment in Vietnam, so you should bring enough change with you. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the local prices and currency in advance so that you know how much cash you should bring. Exchange Vietnam Dong (EUR-VND) in advance on our website to get the best rate and 0% commission. This way you also avoid extra costs and stress at the destination.
Practical tips for planning your budget
Estimate around 1,000,000 Vietnamese dong as a daily budget for your trip. This is about 40 euros. Even with a smaller budget, you can manage well if you share a hotel room with another person and eat mostly street food. In addition to the daily budget, you should count excursions, such as the famous Halong Bay cruise. The cheapest hotel rooms cost 260,000 VND, but 750,000 dong can already get you an excellent hotel room.
It is not customary to leave a tip in Vietnam. Street food costs around 20,000 – 40,000 dong per portion, which is around 1-2 euros. In restaurants, portions cost 70,000 – 150,000 dong, which is less than 6 euros per portion. Especially beer is cheap in Vietnam!
