How safe is Ho Chi Minh City?

The only thing you need to care walking or going on the street in HCMC is paying more attention to your bags. The city is almost busy so less dangerous than other quite places. However we don’t encourage you to go to the empty area after midnight.
Posted: April 19, 2024Ho Chi Minh City is a bustling place with friendly people, this is a place many tourists choose to visit. Even late at night, it is still quite busy because there are many entertainment activities, restaurants operating late at night and early in the morning.
Posted: April 10, 2024Ho Chi Minh is safe, just try to watch out your phones and belongings. Stay away from dark streets. If you’re in downtown, you’re gonna be fine. Crossing the roads is an extreme thing haha, raise your hands to tell everyone that “im crossing it now”

Highly recommend the night food tour on Vespas! Great experience, and I felt very safe. All drivers were women, which added to the feeling of safety. Food at the markets/street stalls was cheap and delicious.

It’s very affordable to travel here and you will enjoy it if you like the hustle and bustle of the city. One main problem is that people here do not speak English at all, or if they do, it’s very minimal so please have Google Translate with you at all times! The service tends to be over the top since they are vying for tips, but there is no compulsory tipping culture.
