I know a lot of people who are still surprised by the cost of a trip to Vietnam. They think it is $5,000+ and the only way you are spending that is if you are staying in a luxury hotel and buying expensive things. My last trip which was for 6 days was less than $2,000. I believe it was $1,850 total.
I have seen people do a full 7 day trip for barely over $1,000 but you really need to know your way around and find a good deal on flights to pull that off!
The cost of a trip to Vietnam depends on what you’re looking for. You can spend as little as $10 per day, or as much as $500+ per day if you want to stay in the best hotels and eat at the best restaurants.
A friend of mine spent next to nothing on her last trip. The flights were dirt cheap and since she was staying with family, she didn't pay for a hotel.Â
That's fantastic! It sounds like your friend really scored with those economical flights and complimentary accommodation. Vietnam can definitely be a cost-effective destination if you know where to look. Apart from flights and accommodation, there are plenty of other ways to save money while exploring Vietnam. One recommendation I have is to try out the delectable street food, which is not only budget-friendly but also a marvelous way to immerse yourself in the vibrant culinary scene.
The only thing I would add is that it is best to fly in and out of Hanoi or Saigon (HCMC), as it is the easiest way to get around Vietnam.
Hey, I'm going to Vietnam in a couple of months and want to know how much it costs. I've got $4000, but I don't want to be afraid of spending it all. I think the plane ticket to Vietnam will already use up like $2000 of it since I'm going at a time when ticket prices will be high (Tet). How do you think I should spend the rest of money when I'm there?
I'm actually going to Vietnam in a couple weeks, and it's great to see the cost breakdown. Traveling is so expensive sometimes, but this is helping me get a sense of what my trip will actually cost.
I'm so excited!
@ElizabethGardner Vietnam is a beautiful country with a rich and diverse culture. I appreciate the detailed cost breakdown provided in this article as it will help me plan my budget accordingly and make the most of my trip.
I like the fact that you've included a breakdown of costs for different travel styles. I think it's important to know what your options are, especially if you're trying to plan a trip on a budget.
You're totally spot-on! Planning a trip on a shoestring budget can be a real game-changer. It's super awesome that the breakdown of costs for different travel styles is included, because it really helps you wrap your head around your options and make the most of your moolah. As they say, A little planning can save you a whole boatload of cash!
I managed only spending $900 last time I went. This is not including my flights though. I can't remember what those cost but it was not very expensive. I did everything on a tight budget and still had an amazing time.Â
