Solo Female Travel in Vietnam

Solo travel experience

Vietnam is one of the Buddhism countries, where the people believe do good to earn good. I feel completely safe. Travel transportation is 24/7 and you can book everything last minutes. The cost to travel is extremely cheap. The food is great and so healthy.

Couple travel experience

I felt quite safe even if I was with my boyfriend I could see a lot of solo female travellers. Its really note expensive there and you can have a lunch for like 2 euros approximatively ; its just more tricky if you're vegetarian there's options but always the same food so you'll get tired of it ahah, it's a bit better in the big cities more options. My best souvenir is the Ha Giang Loop in the North of Vietnam, it's a bit expensive but its really worth the cost : you go travelling by motorbike on crazy roads with a group during 2 or 3 days (I really recommend to not drive yourself but go behind an "easydriver", a local that will ride for you, because instead it can be really dangerous for you and for the rest of the group). The landscaspe is breathtaking and if you're scared : do it even more, I was terrified and almost cancelled just before, and yet it was one of the best experience in my life 🌞

Solo travel experience

I have spent 5 months in Vietnam in a one-year solo trip in Asia. I have volunteered for a few months and met amazing people. Food is delicious and people are incredibly kind. I felt very safe in all places I've been.

Solo travel experience

I loved travelling solo in Vietnam. People of Vietnam got open arms to welcome people. Please have coconut & egg coffee when you are there. Highly recommend day trips more than sight seeing.i also tried booking a cruise for 3 nights at Halong bay. I was the only Indian there and it was a life changing experience.

Solo travel experience

I have been solo traveling through Vietnam on my own and felt super safe and welcomed all the time. It was right after Covid, so I was basically the only traveler and never really met other travelers but i had the greatest experiences with so many locals. From riding motorcycle to checking out the amazing food markets and hiking in the rice fields. I met so many lovely people along that way and learned a lot about the Vietnamese culture and history. I would always come back!

Solo travel experience

I have travelled by myself to Vietnam Cambodia and Jordan. All destinations relatively safe with Jordan being the safest for tourists. In Vietnam and Cambodia with luggage and wallets you have to be vigilant but crime wise it was relatively safe. Im looking to travel to South America in July 2024 so would love some tips !

Solo travel experience

I spent a month solo in Vietnam and had the best time ever. Because Vietnam has two routes - North to South and South to North I ended up bumping into the same people over and over again so I didn't worry about being lonely. Hostels always had something going on as well. I felt safe the whole time. The people in Vietnam were so lovely and the country itself was beautiful.

Solo travel experience

I felt perfectly safe on my own when I visited the area around Hoi Ann. I stayed in a hotel outside the town centre on the beach. But travelled the very short distance into town by taxi most days for shopping and eating. The street food was amazing and the thing you must do is create a Pinterest board of clothes you love so you can have them made up to measure in Hoi Ann (they’re famous for it). It rained quite a bit in January but it didn’t stop me from doing anything other than a bit of pool time. It’s a really budget friendly place on a whole.

Solo travel experience

I stayed in Vietnam for two weeks and traveled from the Central to the North. After arriving in Da Nang and visiting Marble Mountains, I headed towards Hoi An. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t so good but I still good to explore the city. After that I took a long bus ride to Ninh Binh - also known as the Halong Bay on Land - great place to get around with a bicycle which I missed during my time in South East Asia. From there I headed towards Ha Giang where I did the famous Ha Giang Loop with an easy rider. Definitely recommend doing this!!! Due to lack of time I had to skip Sapa, and headed straight to Hanoi where I spent a few days including a day trip incl. cruise to Halong Bay. From Hanoi I left the country. I wish I had more time explore this beautiful and diverse country!

Solo travel experience

First of all, Solo traveling is a gift and it’s great. But in Vietnam I haven’t had the best experience. It’s dirty everywhere, you can see the locals just throw their trash everywhere. The Food is ok, but more expensive then social media always said. In general Vietnam is more expensive than social media ever said. The attractions are average, but mostly way too expensive. In most places I just waited at my Hostel, until going to the next destination, cause there is not much to do or see. And the locals are not very friendly to foreigners.

Overall, it's a safe country. You can walk alone at night and there is no worries about it. Especially if you live in Da Nang, the most livable city in Vietnam. HCMC is a bit messy and there are more robbers on the street so you have to watch out your stuff carefully. I'm currently in Nha Trang and things are pretty cheap here.

You don't have to take so many clothes, everything is cheap here. Vietnam has long latitudes, so it's hot in the south and cooler in the north (even cold in winter). High humidity and dust. Be careful when crossing the street due to crazy traffic.

Hoi An is currently very commercialized. You will mainly find Chinese and Korean shops there. If you have time, just go there to see the old houses. Da Nang is wonderful, you must visit the Hai Van Pass, all the beautiful bridges, and Son Tra Peninsula. In Northern Vietnam, go to Ha Giang and rent a motorcycle to go to Ma Pi Leng pass, to Dong Van. It's a popular place among Vietnamese backpackers. You can go to the Ban Gioc waterfall in Cao Bang - it's the fourth largest waterfall in the world. The forests in North Vietnam are much more extraordinary than in the South, but the ocean in the South is much, much more beautiful.
