Health Related Issues
Immunizations and comprehensive health insurance are prudent measures to safeguard your family, especially when traveling to regions with variable tropical weather and to engage in thrilling adventures discovering Vietnam's natural beauty.

A first-aid kit is essential due to limited immediate health services available in various regions of Vietnam. Keep a list of reputable local hospitals and clinics handy to address any serious health concerns.
Over-the-counter medications are readily available in Vietnam, but finding specific brands can be challenging. It is advisable to bring commonly-used medications along with a copy of prescriptions for those medications. For tips on ensuring your family's health, consult our “Healthy Travel” guide. If your children are eager to try local cuisine but you are unsure of its safety, observe the restaurant's clientele: high local patronage generally indicates good quality and reliability.
Transportation
Traffic in Vietnam can be chaotic. While the public transport system offers safety, it may be overcrowded and not always well-maintained, resulting in a bumpy ride. For families, taking a taxi or walking are generally the safest transportation options. As of 2025, the average taxi fare in urban areas is around 15,000-20,000 VND per kilometer. It is a good practice for children and elderly family members to carry a note with their family contact information, including names, addresses, and phone numbers, to assist in case they get lost (Check out our To-Pack and Not-to-Pack list for your trip).

Accommodation
Choosing a boutique hotel instead of a branded chain can lead to significant savings and often better services. Traveling in Vietnam should focus on experiences rather than mere relaxation, offering your children the charm of the local atmosphere that smaller hotels provide.
