The REAL Cost of 47 Days in Vietnam
During our 47 days in Vietnam, we travelled from Hanoi to Da Nang, Nha Trang, Mui Ne, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Phu Quoc, experiencing everything from busy cities and beautiful beaches to food tours, sleeper buses and some of Vietnam's most popular attractions.
We'll break down our total Vietnam travel costs category by category, show you exactly where our money went, and share what it cost us per day to travel Vietnam as a couple. Whether you're planning a Vietnam vacation, extended Vietnam trip, slow travel adventure or retirement travel, this should give you a realistic idea of how much to budget for Vietnam.
We aren't backpackers, but we aren't luxury travellers either. We travel comfortably on a mid-range budget, staying in private accommodations, eating at a mix of local and Western restaurants, enjoying drinks and wine, taking domestic flights when they make sense, and paying for the experiences we want to do. Our goal is to show you a realistic Vietnam budget for travellers who want to be comfortable without travelling luxuriously.
