Prices in Vietnam for Tourists

Vietnam is an inexpensive country for tourists. Even compared to such popular tourist neighbors in Southeast Asia as Thailand, Malaysia, China, prices in Vietnam for tourists are lower. But perhaps what is definitely cheaper in Vietnam is the cost of accommodation, and this is great news for tourists and travelers, because accommodation usually "eats up" most of the travel budget, but not here.

So that you can navigate and plan your budget for vacation or travel in Vietnam, we have prepared a selection of prices for the most popular services and goods for tourists, for transport, and the cost of products in stores. These are the minimum prices we found as of 2025, although of course it should be taken into account that they vary from city to city, from district to district, and from store to store. Usually, the closer to tourist places and beaches, the higher the prices for almost everything. We travel a lot and for long periods, so we collect prices in different places from south to north.
