I spent about 3 weeks traveling solo in Vietnam and overall felt pretty safe—though there were a few moments that come with the territory of being a solo female traveler. I especially loved Da Nang, Huế, and Ninh Bình—each place had its own rhythm, and I could’ve easily stayed longer. I don’t remember my exact budget, but most of my spending definitely went toward flights and hotels. Getting around was surprisingly easy—trains, buses, and even local rides all worked out smoothly. I spent about five days in Hanoi, which in hindsight might have been a bit too long, but the food and coffee scene made up for it. It was a great trip overall. The food was incredible, the culture rich and welcoming, and the coffee—truly next level. Would absolutely go back.

Great food and even better people! My friends and I visited Hanoi, Vietnam for approximately a week a few months ago, and the experience still sticks with me. The attractions were amazing and we got to experience the local culture. Overall, a very vibrant and aesthetically rich region.

I loved the people there and the food was wow, started from Hanoi and ended in Ho chi minh city. Dalat was romantic city and Da nang for nomads , beach city . I spent mist of the time in Da nang and met a lot of friends
Posted: May 15, 2025Experienced: December, 2024I felt very safe in Hanoi apart from maybe in traffic. Main way to get around is on a moto so be prepared for that. If u travel during winter remember it can be quite cold. I always wore a sweatshirt and a jacket. Food is great! I felt super safe! Sometimes Google Maps works poorly. Over all amazing!
Posted: May 6, 2025Loved it! Really great experience with a small group, did 3 days 2 nights and it was perfect. We were well taken care of by the riders and saw the most stunning scenery. Only thing is that lunch and dinner is the same food for every day 😂

I've felt extremely safe here. All the locals were super friendly. Bags and helmets were left in the bikes, and nobody stole anything. Everyone was really helpful or left you alone. Communication is tough. There are not many people who speak English. Although the kids know some.
