Overview

Important Notes Before Travelling

  • • The best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City is from September to March, when the weather is dry and pleasant.

  • • The currency used in Vietnam is the Vietnamese dong (VND). One US dollar is equivalent to about 23,000 VND. It is advisable to exchange money at banks or authorized dealers, and keep some cash for small purchases.
