VIETNAM
Vietnam is the kind of country that overwhelms you in the best possible way. From the minute you land, there’s this energy – scooters everywhere, sizzling street food, friendly faces, history, beaches, mountains… everything packed into one long, narrow country.
It’s also extremely friendly for solo female travellers, especially first-timers on a budget.
Top Places To Visit :
2. O Chi Minh City (Saigon)
More modern, busy, and filled with history:
War Remnants Museum (really emotional visit)
Ben Thanh Market for cheap souvenirs
Rooftop cafes and skybars for nightlife
4. Hoi An
Possibly the prettiest city in Vietnam:
Lantern-filled alleys
Rice fields
Tailor shops that stitch clothes in a day
An old town straight out of a movie
1. Hanoi
A chaotic but charming capital where:
The Old Quarter will confuse and delight you with its tiny streets
Train Street literally has trains sliding past homes
Hoan Kiem Lake is perfect for a quiet moment
Try the famous Egg Coffee
3. Ha Long Bay
Dramatic limestone islands, emerald waters, cruise decks, kayaking – a classic.
Thousands of limestone karsts misting in and out of view like a painting
Calm, jade-colored waters that look unreal at sunrise
Hidden caves, lagoons, and tiny beaches scattered across the bay
Floating fishing villages where life feels peaceful, simple, and untouched
Cruises that let you wake up surrounded by cliffs – easily one of the most magical mornings in Asia
5. Da Nang
Golden Bridge (the one with the giant hands)
Marble Mountains
Clean city beaches
Best Time to Visit
Vietnam weather changes drastically by region, but the safest picks:
- February-April: mild and dry

Safety for Solo Women
Pretty safe overall, but:
- Watch out for motorbike snatching
- Use Grab instead of random taxis
- Keep valuables in a cross-body bag
People are respectful and helpful.
