Top 5 Must-Haves for Your Memorable Vietnam Trip

Top 5 Must-Haves for Your Memorable Vietnam Trip 

Thinking about a trip to Vietnam? Whether your taste is for vibrant cities, breathtaking scenery, or immersion into the local way of life, wise packing is essential. Every visitor should have these Top 5 Essentials for a great Vietnam vacation!

1. Visa, passport, and travel document reference  

   Check first that your passport is valid at least six months after your visit. Many visitors can apply for a very easy e-Visa online. Save many copies of your airline information, hotel bookings, and trip insurance. You never know when you might find them most needed!

2. Vietnamese Dong (VND), local currency

   Although credit cards are accepted in most major cities, bringing some local cash is absolutely vital, particularly if you intend to visit markets or pick a bowl of pho from a street vendor. To save the trouble of searching for change, swap some money before you go or use Vietnamese ATMs.

3. Ready for the Weather - Clothes  

   Vietnam's temperature swings from north to south, hence carry flexible and light clothing. For warmer southern climates, consider light jackets if you are visiting cooler areas like Hanoi or the mountains and breathable, comfortable clothing. You will be glad for a cozy clothing, trust me!

4. Universal Power Adapter

   carry a universal power adapter since Vietnam's 220V outlets run Type A, C, or F plugs. This small device will keep you charged and ready to go whether you're charging your phone, camera, laptop (to keep those Instagram stories flowing!).

5. Classic Toiletries & Extra

   Although most local stores carry most toiletries, having your basics on hand simplifies life. Bring hand sanitizer, sunscreen, bug spray, and a basic first aid pack. They will prove useful when least expected!
