Current Travel Situation
Luxembourg to Vietnam: What You Need to Know
Vietnam is a long, narrow Southeast Asian country of 97 million people stretching 1,650km from the Chinese border in the north to the Mekong Delta in the south. Its extraordinary diversity encompasses Hanoi's millennia-old Old Quarter, Ha Long Bay's limestone karst seascape (UNESCO), the ancient UNESCO town of Hoi An with its Japanese and Chinese trading history, Hue's imperial citadel, Ho Chi Minh City's frenetic energy, and the Mekong Delta's floating markets. Vietnamese cuisine is among Southeast Asia's finest: pho, banh mi, bun cha, and fresh spring rolls.
How to Get There
Hanoi (HAN) and Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) are both served by flights from Luxembourg via Singapore, Bangkok, or Dubai. Vietnam Airlines, Singapore Airlines, and Thai Airways offer options. Total journey 11-14 hours.
Money & Banking
Vietnam uses the dong (VND). Vietnam is excellent value: pho bowl VND 50,000-80,000 (EUR 2-3), mid-range restaurant VND 150,000-300,000 per person, hotel rooms VND 400,000-1,200,000/night. Grab (ride-hailing app) is the safest and most transparent taxi option in cities.
Practical Tips
Hanoi: Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple, the Old Quarter (36 trading streets), Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Complex, the Temple of Literature (Vietnam's first university, 1070 CE), and the Hanoi Train Street. Ha Long Bay (3.5 hours from Hanoi): overnight boat cruise among the limestone karsts with kayaking and cave exploration (Sung Sot Cave). Hoi An (fly from Hanoi): the lantern-lit Ancient Town at night, tailors, Banh Mi Phuong, and My Son Cham temples. Ho Chi Minh City: the War Remnants Museum, Cu Chi Tunnels (40km from city), Ben Thanh Market.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Luxembourg citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Luxembourg passport holders need a Vietnamese e-Visa before travel. Apply at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. Cost: USD 25 (single entry) or USD 50 (multiple entry). Processing takes about 3 business days.
How long can I stay in Vietnam on an e-Visa?
Up to 90 days per entry with the standard e-Visa. Multiple-entry visas are also available.
What is the best way to travel between cities in Vietnam?
Vietnam Airlines, Bamboo Airways, and Vietjet serve the Hanoi-Da Nang-Ho Chi Minh City triangle cheaply. For slower travel, the Reunification Express train runs the entire length of the country (Hanoi to HCMC, 34 hours). Open Bus tickets connect major tourist cities by overnight sleeper bus.
Is Vietnamese street food safe to eat?
Generally yes. Look for stalls with high turnover (a queue of locals is the best sign of quality and freshness), food cooked to order or recently made, and clean cooking implements. Pho and bun bo Hue soups are boiled fresh; banh mi uses freshly grilled meats. Avoid raw vegetables and ice outside reputable restaurants.
What is the best time to visit Vietnam?
Vietnam is long (1,650km) so weather varies by region. Hanoi and the north: October to April is dry and relatively cool. Hoi An and central Vietnam: February to August (the rains shift to the south in winter). Ho Chi Minh City and the south: November to April dry season. December to March is the best time for the entire country.
What are the main cultural sites not to miss in Vietnam?
Hoi An Ancient Town (UNESCO, best at night with silk lanterns), Ha Long Bay (UNESCO, limestone karsts on the sea, 2-night boat cruise essential), Hue Imperial Citadel (UNESCO, Nguyen dynasty tombs), My Son Cham ruins (UNESCO, 2 hours from Hoi An), the Cu Chi Tunnels near HCMC, and the Mekong Delta floating markets.
