Can I Take Public Buses Around Vietnam?

Taking public buses involves some planning ahead. City buses generally charge visitors more than locals. It can also be tricking relying on public maps or your phone, assuming you’re able to use your phone in Vietnam.

Buses can be a good option for long-haul drives between major cities. There are nicely appointed, air-conditioned buses that travel to and from each province.You can also find buses to nearly every major tourist destination. Overnight buses are a popular option for longer road trips — they come with bunk beds and window curtains so you can get some sleep.
