A Comprehensive Vietnam Backpacker Budget: How Much Will Your Trip Cost?
Scribbled by Claire ⬩ 08 Apr 2025
Read on for a detailed budget breakdown of our one month in Vietnam, including food and drink costs, transport expenses, accommodation and attraction prices, plus how you can save money.
Vietnam, a long coastal slither on the Indochina Peninsula, is one the most popular destinations for backpackers in southeast Asia. Known for being extremely affordable (amongst other incredible reasons to visit), it particularly attracts travellers on a budget.
Packed full of amazing sights, unique food, welcoming people, natural beauty and exhilarating adventures, it is one of the easiest countries to travel as a backpacker on a shoestring, aided in part by the affordability of food, beer, transport and accommodation.
As kind of ‘budget boutique’, mid-range budget travellers and backpackers, we don’t tend to stay in hostels anymore and like comfy beds and warm showers (as often as possible). We regularly rent motorbikes, eat all different types of food and drink a few beers/smoothies. This means that if you are intending to visit Vietnam on a shoestring budget, you can go way, way lower than us!
We’ve spent more than two months in Vietnam, from top to bottom. In this particular post, we detail the exact spending for two people during our most recent one-month Vietnam trip, in November, including all costs (minus relevant insurance and international flights).
Hopefully this helps you plan your epic Vietnam trip!

Money in Vietnam
The currency in Vietnam is the Vietnamese dong (VND). We’ve also included a US dollar equivalent throughout this post to save you converting the values constantly!
Depending on where you are from, Vietnamese currency may make you feel a little like a millionaire, as many foreign currencies convert into many, many thousands of dong. Currently, these are the exchange rates in mid-2026:
GBP to VND – 1:36,000
USD to VND – 1:26,350
THB to VND – 1:809
EUR to VND – 1:30,900
For more up-to-date rates, check out xe.com (or Google).
Travel tip | try and remember that 26,000 dong is roughly one US dollar. That helps keep perspective when you see large numbers on menus and signs!
Cash or Card in Vietnam?
As the well-known phrase goes, ‘cash is king’ in Vietnam. Few places outside of the airports and larger or western hotels accept any form of credit or debit card. This means it is necessary to carry cash for most of your purchases.
We never bought anything directly on credit card. This included hotels, transport, rental vehicles, food and drink. However, if you are in an upscale hotel or restaurant, card would likely be accepted. We do use the Grab app in Vietnam, which is a taxi app like Uber where journeys can be prepaid by credit card.
Currency Exchange in Vietnam
We rarely use any currency exchange facilities in Vietnam as ATM fees are low, which eliminates the need to carry around masses cash.
There are currency exchanges everywhere though – you’ll not struggle to convert your home currency.
If you prefer to bring your home currency or GBP/EUR/USD, there are currency exchanges in all the international airports and in almost every town – they give fair rates. Often, you will get a better rate outside of the airport in the city. However, it’s normally a negligible difference unless you intend to exchange thousands of pounds/dollars in one go. US Dollars are the easiest to exchange in smaller towns.
ATMS in Vietnam
ATMS are commonplace in most populated areas of Vietnam.
If you have a bank account that does not charge transaction fees, then it is worth relying on ATMs for cash. From the UK, we use a Barclaycard Rewards credit card everywhere in world as they charge nothing for ATM cash transactions.
Airports | there are reliable ATMs in all the airports on arrival (although not so reliably available or functional on land borders from our experience – bring some cash). On our most recent trip, we arrived in Hanoi international Airport and used the VP Bank ATM which didn’t charge us any transaction fee for a two million VND withdrawal (roughly $78).
ATM fees | if you are on a very tight budget, you’ll want to figure out which bank will give you the maximum withdrawal amount for the smallest fee. So for example, we found:
Vietin Bank | we took out 8 million VND (about $310) and were charged 50k VND fee ($2).
Agribank | we took out 2.5 million VND (about $100) and charged 22k VND ($0.85). Agribank seemed to have unreliable maximum amounts which varied depending on the machine. (Some said 3.5 million or more but wouldn’t always allow it).
We suggest bringing a back-up of about $100 US, in case you ever get stuck in an area with no working ATMs (this has never actually happened to us, though).
CARRYING CASH IN VIETNAM
Many people worry about carrying large amounts of cash around, especially if their home country is heavily dependent on credit card.
We suggest using a money belt, or a pouch around your neck, and splitting up your cash into different pockets and bags. Wearing clothing with zipped pockets is always reassuring, too. If you carry a bag in the larger cities, wear it cross-body if possible and just be aware of your surroundings.
Saigon has the worst rates of crime in Vietnam and there have been stories of things like phone snatching by passing motorbikes. However, I personally walk around everywhere with a large camera visibly on display and have never felt uncomfortable doing this.
Everything mentioned here is precautionary only, as we have never been worried in Vietnam about theft or physical threat. Although petty crime occurs, it is rare, and statistically far more likely to happen in large European cities and much of Latin America.
Exercise any usual precautions and do not let worrying about carrying cash in Vietnam ruin your trip!

11 ESSENTIAL THINGS TO DO IN HANOI | HA GIANG LOOP GUIDE
Our Vietnam Trip Budget
This section provides some insight into what we spent our money on during a month in Vietnam, divided into categories and topics:
Transport costs | scooters, buses, taxis, trains
Attraction costs | tours, hikes, boat rides
Food and drink prices | street food, restaurants, alcohol, vegetarian options, breakfast
Accommodation costs | hotels, hostels, homestays
Other Miscellaneous costs | Sim cards, laundry
There’s a bit of detail about what our expenditure was on and how yours might differ.
Transport Travel Costs in Vietnam
We spent a full month in northern Vietnam, journeying between Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Giang, Cat Ba and Ninh Binh. All these locations were transited exclusively by bus, some of which were sleeper buses.
We took fewer buses than a typical month-long Vietnam trip which traverses from north to south (or the opposite). This means that our public transport costs might be slightly lower than more traditional routes with more stops (although we thoroughly recommend slowing down and just visiting the north and central Vietnam if you have a month – it’s a big country!).
Motorbike Rental Costs in Vietnam
We hired motorbikes in every place we visited apart from Hanoi. The prices per day varied:
⬩ 100k VND ($4) in Cat Ba
⬩ 120k VND ($5) in Tam Coc (Ninh Binh)
⬩ 500k VND ($20) in Ha Giang (including insurance)
The rule of thumb in Vietnam with motorbikes is that you usually get what you pay for. Our cheaper bikes were really sketchy – lights didn’t work, unreliable fuel gauge, faulty speedometer etc. They were also just a bit wobbly!
The Ha Giang motorbike was far more expensive but brand new, bigger and came with decent helmets. Two helmets were included in all the rentals however the quality varies (sometimes you would be just as safe if you put a coconut on your head).
Gas prices | this were reasonable at about 21k VND ($1) per litre. The scooters/motorbikes are generally efficient so we spent very little on fuel. We spent a total of 611k VND ($23.50).
Check our recent post to see if you’re legal to ride a scooter in Vietnam.
Taxis Prices in Vietnam
Taxis in Vietnam are usually very affordable, but they can also be a bit of a nightmare.
Taxi apps | the Grab taxi app is widely available in Vietnam. It is cheap, reliable, safe and easy – just download it to your phone. It functions like Uber, where you can pay on the app with a predetermined price and route. However, be aware that you will not be able to set it up until you are in a country where Grab is available (most of southeast Asia use it). This means it will look like Grab is not working until you arrive.
Grab also do motorbike taxis – these are especially good value if you are a solo traveller in Vietnam.
Taxi scams | on previous trips, the only scammy behaviour we ever experienced in Vietnam were from taxi drivers, so we’d recommend utilising Grab whenever it is available. Vietnamese taxi scams include driving the *significantly* long way around to increase the taxi meter price and to try and tell us the decimal point was in the wrong place on the meter!
We got three Grab taxis during this recent Vietnam trip, all in Hanoi (we have previously used them elsewhere though, in Saigon, Hoi An, Hue and Danang):
⬩ From Hanoi Airport to the Old Quarter, including tolls, cost 417k VND ($16)
⬩ From Westlake to the Old Quarter cost 70k VND ($3)
⬩ From My Dinh bus station to the Old Quarter cost 135k VND ($5)
Our taxi drivers were friendly and helpful.
Bus Prices in Vietnam
As mentioned above, we exclusively took buses this trip. These buses generally cost around 200K-400K VND ($8-16) per person per journey, depending on distance. Check out our post about sleeper buses in Vietnam if you’d like to know more about the buses, how to book and costs.
We use 12GoAsia for prices and bookings, especially during busy periods, like Tet.
Train Prices in Vietnam
Vietnamese trains are quite affordable and are a great budget alternative to buses if you are navigating the length of the country (we have done Vietnamese train journeys half way down the country on previous trips). Here are a few example prices:
⬩ Hanoi – Danang (17 hours) soft seat | 567k ($22)
⬩ Hanoi – Danang (17 hours) soft upper sleeper | 1090k ($42)
They have better views and can be a bit more fun than buses, in general. For long journeys, avoid the hard seat options. We learnt this the unpleasant way – for 17 hours.
Once again, these can be booked online, check 12GoAsia for representative prices for your route. We buy all our Vietnam train tickets on this website because the official can be a nightmare.
Total Transport costs in Vietnam
Our total cost for all transport in Vietnam was 8882k VND ($342).
This is an average of $11.40 a day, or $5.70 per person.

Attraction Costs in Vietnam
On our recent one-month Vietnam budget, we didn’t actually do that many paid attractions. However, elsewhere in Vietnam, you may choose to include more pricey activities.
Below, we’ve detailed every attraction we paid for during our month, plus other activities that you may want to pay for that we didn’t do on this particular trip.
Our Vietnam Activities Spending
We tend to avoid organised tours as much as possible; so these are the few things we couldn’t avoid paying for:
Lan Ha Bay Cruise | most people who visit northern Vietnam will include a trip to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Halong Bay. This is often a huge expense on a Vietnam backpacker budget.
We opted for a stay in Cat Ba and a day trip to Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, with kayaking and meals included. This was a fantastic budget option which we were extremely happy with. If you want to know more details about our Halong trip, check out our Lan Ha Bay cruise guide.
⬩ We spent 1560k VND ($60) for two people.
Tam Coc Boat Ride | in Ninh Binh, one of the leading attractions is a boat trip through the soaring limestone karsts and head-height caves. There are two options – one in Tam Coc and the other Trang An. We would recommend the Trang An option as the rower for the Tam Coc one was a bit scammy and unpleasant, insisting on a tip which was far more than the ticket price. She was also incredibly rude.
⬩ This cost 390k VND ($15) total for two people.
Cat Cat Village | this was an abomination. It is a ’cultural village’ in Sapa but was an abysmal, unethical experience that we wouldn’t wish on anyone. If you want to know more about why we absolutely wouldn’t recommend it, check out this post about our trip to Cat Cat Village.
⬩ We paid 180K VND ($7) total for two people.
Hang Mua Viewpoint | this short but steep hike in Tam Coc, near Ninh Binh was well worth the small entrance fee. The views are spectacular and if you go first thing in the morning, you’ll have the place nearly to yourself. This is one of the premier things to do in the Ninh Binh area – do not miss it if you have the chance to visit.
⬩ We paid 200k VND ($8) total for two people.
Other Activities in Vietnam You May Want to Pay For
Vietnam is packed with epic attractions and activities. Although loads of these are free, there are a few popular activities that most people do that cost money. Below are just a few of the many possibilities that will add to your budget:
◊ Take a food tour around Saigon (from $26)
◊ Visit the Ba Na Hills (from $6.50)
◊ Easy Rider tour on the Hai Van Pass (from $64)
◊ Visit the Cu Chi Tunnels (from $15.50)
◊ Take a tour around the Mekong Delta (from $15.50)
◊ Ride a quad bike in Mui Ne (from $20)
◊ Take a tour to the My Son Temple (from $15.50)
◊ Have a guided tour of the Imperial Palace of Hue (from $19)
◊ Take part in a cooking class in Hanoi (from $30)
◊ Exploring the magnificent Phong Nha Caves (from $40)
◊ Coconut boats and more in Hoi An (from $4)
◊ Museums, there are loads in Hanoi and Saigon (from $1-2)
◊ Summiting Fansipan Mountain, Sapa (from $24)
◊ Experience the crazy house in Dalat (from $3)
All of these are pretty popular options and would increase your budget above our particular trip (almost all of these activities we have already done on our previous trips and would highly recommend!).
Total Activities costs in Vietnam
Our total cost for all activities and attractions in Vietnam was 2495k VND ($96).
This is an average of $3.20 a day, or $1.50 per person.
–
Food Costs in Vietnam
As vegetarians, it was a little trickier in Vietnam to find affordable versions of the most budget street foods like pho. This means our food budget is likely to be higher than for somebody who is a bit more flexible with their diet.
For example, we would often pay 60k VND ($2.50) for stir fried vegetables and rice, whereas a meat eater could get a big bowl of bun cha or pho bo for way less than 40k VND ($2), easily, around Hanoi. Some example prices of our meals:
⬩ Tomato tofu dish | 50k VND ($2)
⬩ Papaya salad | 50k VND ($2)
⬩ Bakery banana bread | 40k VND ($1.50)
⬩ Vegan smoothie Bowl | 75k ($3)
⬩ Vegan pumpkin spaghetti | 135k ($5) – and worth every penny
Banh mi | one tiny benefit of being vegetarian are the banh mi sandwiches, which are frequently cheaper if you only have egg and no meat (these options are widely available everywhere). Typical prices for a vegetarian banh mi are 15k-25k VND ($0.60-$1 each). For ones with meat, add 5-10k VND (20-40 cents).
Pizza | on our recent trip, we had a few pizzas. These were of average quality (not the best, but edible) and cost 110k VND ($4).
Restaurants | if you frequent nicer restaurants, it will obviously cost more, so your choices will depend on how shoestring your budget is. Even posher Vietnamese restaurants will not break the bank, though. Our most expensive meal ever in Vietnam was in the tourist centre of Hoi An and cost 840k VND ($33), including about six dishes, desserts and a tonne of cocktails! Worth every penny, too.
Our restaurant highlights in Vietnam over our various trips include:
⬩ Thong Dong Vegan Kitchen in Sapa ($$) | just the loveliest owners and incredible food, honestly try it even if you’re not vegan
⬩ Pho Quynh in Saigon ($) | only suitable for meat eaters, has very spicy condiments
⬩ Pizza 4P’s Ben Thanh in Saigon ($$$$) | actually incredible, world class pizza
⬩ Nha Hang Yummy 1 in Cat Ba ($) | decent veggie options for crazy low prices
⬩ Madam Thu Restaurant in Hue ($) | distinctive regional food selection
Drink Costs in Vietnam
Water | a large, 1.5 litre bottle of drinking water cost around 12k VND ($0.50).
Coke | a can of Diet Coke cost 12k VND ($0.50).
Coffee | a cheap coffee cost 12k VND ($0.50). A nice coffee from a cafe cost 34k VND ($1.30).
Alcohol Costs in Vietnam
This is where your Vietnam budget really shines!
Beer | this is famously cheap, especially in Hanoi where bia hoi (daily fresh-brewed beer) vendors can be spotted on many of the corners around the Old Quarter. For around 3-8k VND ($0.12-0.30) a glass and up, you can have yourself a freshly brewed local beer!
In local stores, a standard, mass-manufactured Vietnamese beer such as Beer Saigon and Beer Hanoi will cost around 15k VND ($0.60). At bars in the tourist areas, they are priced around 25-35k ($1). It’s all very affordable if you fancy a beverage.
Wine | Vietnam also produces wine in the highlands around Dalat. This means some wine is not crazy expensive (although we can confirm that it is not always that good either). We bought a bottle for 150k VND ($6) but wouldn’t recommend it!
Craft | Vietnam is also currently going through a kind of renaissance with craft beers. They’re slowly appearing everywhere and some of them are truly excellent. In all the major cities and towns, you’ll be able to find a unique brew, some for as little 70k VND ($3). Heart of Darkness is our favourite – it’s terrific.
Check out Pasteur Street Brewing, Furbrew and Turtle Lake Brewing in Hanoi, and East West Brewing, any of the Saigon Pasteur Streets, and Heart of Darkness Craft Brewery in Saigon. We’ve tried them all – they’re world class.
Total Food and drink spending in Vietnam
Our total cost for all food and drink in Vietnam was 11769k VND ($453).
This is an average of $15.10 a day, or $7.55 per person.

Accommodation Costs in Vietnam
Hotels in Vietnam are very affordable, and probably the best value we’ve seen across southeast Asia.
Cost | this is where most of our money goes – for the amount we spent, we always had hot water, soft beds and aircon where it was necessary. We paid anything between 200k-900k ($8-35) per room depending on our preferences of the day.
Breakfast | breakfast was always included with our hotel. This appears to be standard across Vietnam, which we love for our Vietnam food budget. This might be an obvious statement, but we also noticed that the more we paid for our room, the more substantial the food we got for breakfast was (also higher quality).
Hostels | these are popular in certain areas of Vietnam and can be as low as 120k VND ($5) a night for a reasonably reviewed place. For example, places in Ha Giang and around the loop often had incredibly cheap, communal dorm beds. If you are travelling with a friend or partner though, budget double rooms are more common and often cheaper.
Payment | we always paid for rooms in cash as hotels often apply a three percent credit card fee. Most were booked in advance through Booking.com, others were walk-in prices.
Other | Airbnb and Couchsurfing are less popular in Vietnam, but technically available.
Total ACCOMMODATION costs in Vietnam
Our total cost for accommodation in Vietnam was 21311k VND ($820).
This is an average of $27.35 a day, or $13.67 per person.
–
Miscellaneous Costs in Vietnam
Sim cards were our only extra cost on this Vietnam trip. We got our most recent ones from the arrivals area in the international airport in Hanoi. There were lots of stands with people offering various packages with different networks. This is also the same in Saigon (we got sim cards from there a few years ago).
Vietnamese sims | this time, we each got a sim card with Viettel, which we chose after research suggested it had the best signal in more rural areas. We bought 60Gb of data for 30 days and cost 250k VND ($10) each. It worked perfectly and the signal was excellent, even in remote regions like the mountains around Ha Giang.
E-sim | if you prefer to use an e-sim, consider Airalo. We’ve used them literally hundreds of times and they’re pretty affordable, starting at around $5 for a week.
Laundry costs | we did all our own laundry on this trip! However, on previous journeys through Vietnam, we’d typically spend around 20-40k ($1-1.50) per kilogram of washing locally. This includes washing, drying and folding. To keep the budget down, don’t ever get it done by your hotel – go find a nice little place nearby.
Total Misc costs in Vietnam
Our total cost for everything else in Vietnam was 600k VND ($23).
This is an average of $0.77 a day, or $0.39 per person.

Total One Month Vietnam Trip Costs
Here are the exact expenses for our one month Vietnam trip for two people:
Attractions | 2.495 million VND ($97)
Taxis and buses | 5.182 million VND ($201)
Motorbike hire (with gas) | 3.7 million VND ($143)
Food and drink | 11.695 million VND ($453)
Accommodation (30 days) | 21.311 million VND ($826)
Miscellaneous | 0.6 million VND ($23)
This is a total of nearly 46 million VND, which, in our home UK currency, was about £1630. This means we spent £815 per person for a month in Vietnam, based on the exchange rate at the time.
In USD, this is currently around $58 a day for two people travelling together, or $29 dollars a day per person.
How to Reduce Your Vietnam Trip Budget
Our trip expenses are never on the lowest end of the scale (we’ve written a few of these trip budget backpacking posts now and they always highlight how much of a chronic over-spender I am). Vietnam was no exception to this rule!
It is very possible to cut your Vietnam trip costs significantly. Here are some of our suggestions:
Stay in Cheaper Hotels
Stay in cheaper hotels and book in advance whenever possible (or alternatively, risk the walk-in rates) to reduce your Vietnam trip budget. Our hotels were not even close to the lowest end of the budget. You could easily more than halve our accommodation costs if you are trying to save money (we just really care where we sleep and book last minute!).
Last minute bookings | we would normally book on the day, or the day before, which sometimes pays off, sometimes doesn’t. It is advisable to book cancellable options well in advance if you have a clue about where you will be. These can then be amended if you have a change of plans.
Walk-in | our other method is to get walk-in hotel rates, which can occasionally be significantly cheaper than online offers. However, nowadays this is becoming rarer and online is usually cheapest. We were visiting during a reasonably busy time, so whenever we had an idea of our destination, we would book one night at that location in advance.
These accommodation booking methods work for us; however, you could definitely save money by being more organised, planning better and even sacrificing the occasional warm shower!
We exclusively use Booking.com in Vietnam – it has the best prices and greatest number of reliable reviews (always check hotel reviews).
Drink Less (Craft) Beer
Our Vietnam trip budget included some seriously expensive beers. This is our little treat but if you’re on a budget, cut down the alcohol. Even the cheaper Hanoi beer prices can blow your budget if you have enough of them (and it’s very, very easy to lose count when they’re so affordable to start with).
Take More Overnight Buses
If you are on an overnight bus, then you save the price of a night’s hotel/hostel accommodation. This saving can really add up, if you time everything right and can sleep on the buses.
We hate overnight buses with a passion and always end up paying for accommodation, even if we arrive early morning because I never sleep. (Currently writing this on a red-eye flight, which I also cannot sleep on).
Eat Meat in Vietnam
Normally, I would not encourage eating meat, but if I’m being honest, it is cheaper (and easier) to eat meat in Vietnam.
On a previous trip a long while back, we ate meat, and our food expenses were much lower, on average. This doesn’t mean that you can’t eat vegetarian on a budget, it’s just a little harder work – we ended up ingesting an *astonishing* amount of egg sandwiches.
If you are staying in cheaper guesthouses where the owners cook breakfast for you but don’t speak much English, there is also a moderate chance that ‘no meat’ gets lost in translation. Or the alternative, which results in you getting some dry toast while everyone else has a full meaty, gourmet meal!
Drink Water (I know it’s obvious)
Our total above includes an outrageous amount of Diet Coke – it’s my weakness in life.
Cans are around 10-15k VND and I can easily drink three or more a day, which is at least $52 across the month.
Drink water and, even better, use a filter to save plastic. We use a Katadyn BeFree one and it saves loads of money and plastic waste. We’ve been using one in while living in Bangkok for the past year – it’s been amazing.
Don’t Rent a Motorbike Everyday in Vietnam
We rented a scooter almost every single day, even though some days we didn’t use it that much. Having the luxury of our own transport whenever necessary is nice, but that does mean we overspent a little on it sometimes. If you plan ahead and figure out the excursions that need a bike, you could definitely reduce from our motorbike expenditure significantly.
There are also big scooter rental discounts for staying longer (weekly and monthly rates), however we figure most people who are backpacking for a month in Vietnam are not likely to take advantage of this.
Where to Next?
As one of the most affordable destinations in the world, Vietnam is a budget backpacker paradise. Even the higher spenders amongst us (I may be included in this category according to Nick) will have a comfortable time financially in Vietnam.
Your personal Vietnam trip budget will depend hugely on route, time of year, luxury levels and transport choices. This guide is just supposed to be a helpful indicator to show you what you can get for your money. We love travelling in Vietnam because it gives us freedom, financially, to do more, travel more and eat more. It’s a fantastic country.
Insurance is something we haven’t mentioned here. We’d highly recommend you get some! If you’re thinking of riding a scooter and cannot obtain an IDP, have a look at an insurance company that will still cover you.
We hope you have a magnificent trip to this brilliant slice of southeast Asia, however much you choose to spend!
