Vietnam is a safe and friendly place to travel both in groups and solo, even for women. Boasting laid-back, generous locals and secure accommodations, Vietnam ensures the safety of visitors as tourism is one of the country’s most significant sources of income. However, tourists are still advised to take precautions against inconveniences like aggressive or pushy street vendors, dangerous driving, scammers and pickpocketing in crowded urban areas. In addition, women should not walk alone late at night as they may become victims of snatch thefts in isolated parts of the country.
