The 13 countries include Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Russia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Belarus.

Practical information

Languages: English, French, Japanese, and Chinese are among the commonly spoken second languages in Vietnam.

Local SIM card: One of the most convenient places to buy a SIM card in Vietnam is the airport. As soon as you exit the baggage claim area in any of Vietnam’s international airports, you’ll find multiple stalls selling SIM cards. The country has four main network operators—Viettel, Vinaphone, Mobifone, and Vietnamobile—offering prepaid SIM cards.

Electrical standards: Vietnam features outlets that accept three different plug shapes. Ensure you bring all required chargers for your electronic devices. Pre-charged battery packs are highly useful for extended bus and train journeys. Most hostels and hotels offer outlets compatible with multiple plug shapes, yet the voltage remains 220V. Consider carrying a shape converter if your plug doesn’t fit into some outlets.

Tipping and bargaining practices

There aren’t specific regulations for tipping in Vietnam, and it’s not obligatory. However, drivers and guides usually expect tips. Higher-end restaurants may include “service charges” in the bill, but this may not always go to the wait staff. Leaving a small additional amount in coins or bills for the waiter is appreciated.

These suggested guidelines can help in deciding on the tip amount; however, you can adjust based on the service quality:

Guides: $5 per day per person in your group
Drivers: $2 per day per person in your group
Restaurants: About 10 percent of the bill
