Destination-specific money tips
- •Use Grab for taxis; it's generally cheaper and more transparent than hailing on the street.
- •ATMs attached to major banks (Vietcombank, BIDV) usually have lower fees than standalone machines.
- •While bargaining is expected in markets, prices in tourist shops and restaurants are often fixed; don't push too hard.
- •Tailoring services are a famous Hoi An bargain; get quotes and allow time for fittings.
- •USD is accepted in some tourist establishments, but you'll get a much better rate paying in VND.
