Vietnam is a country with so many things to do that it can get confusing. In order to not get confused amidst all the chaos, it’s a good idea to have a rough itinerary in mind and book a tour through a travel agency.

It’s always a good idea to get travel insurance before you travel to any other country. Vietnam is no exception. Getting sick, being involved in an accident, or even getting robbed is something no one wants especially if you are traveling to a different country.
Invest in good travel insurance that will protect you against any unfortunate incident that may happen. It will also help you save money.
As any seasoned traveler knows, you will have to plan your budget well in advance. Figuring out how much your flight to Vietnam will cost, transportation within the country, accommodation, and food costs are all part and parcel of planning a trip.
Remember to carry in cash with you. Cash is king in Vietnam. You might not find ATMs everywhere, especially in more remote parts of Vietnam. Even though the official currency is the Vietnamese Dong, US dollars are accepted everywhere around the country.
Vietnam is a diverse country with many different landscapes which means it experiences different weather as well depending on where you are at the moment. Pack light summer clothes especially for Ho Chi Minh where the weather there can get pretty hot and humid. Proper shoes are a must for long walks or hikes. A lightweight raincoat for any rainy day you might encounter. Lastly, a jacket for Hanoi and the hilly areas since it can get chilly during winter. Also, don’t forget to pack the sunscreen and bug spray, you’ll be needing a lot of it.
Once you've gone through the above list and prepared, you're all set. All you have to do now is to enjoy your trip. Take your time to look at the sights and interact with the locals. After all, you're on a holiday.
