Explore the buzzing cities
Across South East Asia, you’ll find cities bursting with life from dawn to dusk – and Vietnam is no exception. Whichever city you explore, you’re sure to find yourself immersed in a world of fast-paced action and buzzing life. Hanoi is packed with culture, whilst Ho Chi Minh City is alive with cosmopolitan vibrancy. Hue is drenched in history, and Phan Thiet in sunshine.
Discover the picturesque beaches of Vietnam
You might not think of Vietnam as a beachy paradise, but the golden sands here are the country’s best kept secret. Quiet and undiscovered compared to neighbouring Thailand, the shoreline here is just as beautiful. Whether you’re looking for the modern resort charm of Nha Trang and Da Lat or the adrenaline-filled watersports of Mui Ne, there’s a Vietnamese beach to suit every taste.
Enjoy the blossoming food and coffee culture
You’ve probably tasted the signature Vietnamese dish of pho, a delicious noodle soup that’s quickly catching on around the world. And there’s plenty more where that came from, with fresh ingredients, delicate flavours and a plethora of seafood making the basis of a classic Vietnamese cuisine. Vietnam is also home to a popular café culture and is big on coffee – a throwback to its time as a French colony – meaning there’s plenty of opportunity to grab a quiet minute and enjoy a spot of people watching.

*Unlike your debit card, our Travelex Money Card is not linked to your bank account, minimising your risk of losing all your funds in case of loss or theft. You can make secure contactless payments directly at the point of sale in Vietnam with our card, if you have a balance in your wallet and withdraw Vietnamese dong from ATMs.
Please note that a 2% fee applies to GBP loads, and a 5.75% fee is incurred when using the card in Vietnam where the local currency isn't offered on our Travelex Money Card. This fee also extends to cash withdrawals for Vietnamese dong and other currencies that are not offered on our Travelex Money Card. While Travelex does not impose charges to ATM withdrawals, it's important to note that fees from other ATM providers may apply. Find out more on our fees here.
