Current Travel Situation
Monaco to Vietnam: What You Need to Know
Vietnam offers an eVisa system to many nationalities including Monaco. This allows Monegasque travelers to obtain their visa entirely online without a consulate visit. Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia's most rewarding destinations with extraordinary food, natural landscapes, and historical sites spanning from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City in the south.
How to Get There
Thailand, Cambodia (Angkor Wat), and Laos are neighboring Southeast Asian destinations that can be combined with Vietnam on a longer Indochina itinerary.
Money & Banking
Vietnam uses the Vietnamese Dong (VND). Exchange Euros to VND at banks or airport exchange counters. Cards are accepted in cities and tourist areas but cash is essential for street food, local transport, and rural areas. Vietnam is extremely affordable for European visitors.
Practical Tips
Vietnam stretches over 1,600 km - plan your itinerary carefully. Hanoi (Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake, Hoa Lo Prison), Ha Long Bay (UNESCO, overnight cruise), Hoi An (ancient town, tailors), the Mekong Delta, and Ho Chi Minh City (Ben Thanh Market, War Remnants Museum) are key destinations. Vietnamese food (pho, banh mi, bun bo Hue) is world-class and extremely affordable.
