For a 10-day trip to Vietnam in 2026, it is recommended to take from 5 to 18 million dong (approximately 190–685 US dollars) per person for pocket expenses if you are going on a tour. If traveling independently, the budget will depend on your vacation style.

Budget for 10 days in Vietnam in 2026
Trip Type Budget (in dong) Budget (in USD) What's Included
Tour (economy) 4.5 - 8 million 171 - 305 Meals outside the hotel, transportation, excursions, souvenirs (flight, hotel, breakfasts already paid).
Tour (comfort) 10.7 - 18 million 407 - 685 Good restaurants, more excursions, taxis, shopping.
Independent (economy) 4.5 - 7.5 million 171 - 286 Hostel/guesthouse, street food, motorbike rental, minimal entertainment. Excluding flight and insurance.
Independent (standard) 10.7 - 17 million 407 - 647 3-star hotel, meals in cafes, taxi/Grab, several excursions. Excluding flight and insurance.

Important: For independent travelers, to these amounts you must add the cost of air tickets, medical insurance, and transportation for moving between cities (for example, a bus from Nha Trang to Da Lat costs from 150,000 dong). The main world of Vietnam is cash, so don't rely only on cards.
