How much money to bring to Vietnam for 3 days?

How much money should I budget for 3 days in Vietnam?

Okay, so Vietnam budget, huh? Tricky one. Three days? I'd say at least $150 USD, maybe more depending on your style. Definitely bring cash; lots of smaller places only take dong or QR codes.

My trip last July (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay), five days cost me around $300. Food was cheap, street food amazing. But the Bay tours? Not so cheap.

Three weeks? Whoa. That's a whole different ball game. Easily $1000+, probably closer to $1500 depending on your lodging choices and activities. Think fancy hotels? Add more. Backpacking hostels? Less.

I once spent a week in Hoi An, and food alone, eating out every meal, was about $7 a day. Souvenirs and those amazing tailor shops though... blew my budget a bit!

Ultimately, it depends on you. Luxury travel? Budget travel? Mix of both? My advice? Overestimate rather than underestimate. Better to have leftover cash than to run short.
