FAQ
Vietnamese New Year
Around the Vietnamese New Year (at the same time as the Chinese New Year which occurs on different dates in Jan/Feb) many shops and restaurants close.

Passport
If you have a Swedish passport, the passport must be valid for at least 6 months upon entry. It is required that you can show a return ticket.
Bargain
In Vietnam, you are expected to haggle. Sometimes you'll get double or triple the starting price, so it's up to you whether you'll make a bargain or not.
Vietnamese coffee
Vietnamese coffee is something you should not miss if you like coffee. Here the coffee is really strong and often served with ice and/or condensed milk.

Avoid drinking the tap water.
