What to Pack & Travel Tips for Iraq to Ho Chi Minh City Tours

Clothing Tips for Iraq to Ho Chi Minh City Tours

Vietnam is a tropical country, and Ho Chi Minh City is no exception, with warm weather all year round. During this time, the average temperature ranges between 25°C and 35°C with high humidity, especially from May to November which is the rainy season. Here’s what to bring along for a comfortable experience:

• Lightweight, breathable clothing: Cotton or linen fabrics help ensure you stay cool while visiting crowded markets, touring historical sites, and taking river cruises.
• Modest attire for cultural visits: Even though Ho Chi Minh City tours are modern and cosmopolitan, it’s respectful to wear shoulder-covering tops and knee-length bottoms when visiting religious sites, such as pagodas or temples.
• Comfortable walking shoes: Most attractions require walking, so bring along comfy sneakers or sandals.
• Rain gear (if traveling between May and November): A light raincoat or travel umbrella is recommended should you encounter unexpected showers.

• Vietnamese Dong (VND) is the official currency: Though US dollars are accepted in some locations, it’s best to carry local currency for smaller purchases.
• Current exchange rate: New Zealand has remained a popular vacation destination for years, and for good reason. The most favorable way to change money is through banks, gold shops, or the official exchange counters at the airport.
• ATMs & Credit Cards: ATMs are pervasive throughout Ho Chi Minh City; most take international bank cards, including Visa and Mastercard. But some smaller markets, and local restaurants, still want cash.

  • Shout and don’t point directly at religious statues.
