Vietnam is known as a country with relatively good public safety even within Southeast Asia. In the 2023 Global Peace Index it ranked 41st worldwide, ahead of countries like South Korea and Thailand. Violent crime is lower than in many other countries, and safety conditions are generally stable.<\/p>\n
Petty crime targeting tourists, however, calls for caution.<\/p>\n
Crimes such as pickpocketing, bag-snatching, and motorbike snatch thefts occur, especially at tourist sites and in busy districts. Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs safety website rates all of Vietnam at risk Level 0, but that's no reason to let your guard down. To enjoy your trip safely, gathering information in advance and taking the right precautions are essential.<\/p>\n

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest city, buzzes with energy as the country's economic hub. Its skyline of high-rises mixed with local shops is distinctive, and it's an easy city to ease into even on a first trip to Vietnam.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the area around Pham Ngu Lao Street \u2014 known as the backpacker district \u2014 calls for caution regarding nighttime safety. Pickpocketing and scams targeting tourists happen easily here, and walking alone late at night in particular should be avoided. Around markets and in crowded places, be thorough about safeguarding your valuables.<\/p>\n

As the political and cultural center, Hanoi has a calmer atmosphere that contrasts with Ho Chi Minh City. Walk through the Old Quarter and you'll find ways of life that have carried on for generations, letting you feel the layers of history.<\/p>\n
The Old Quarter around Hoan Kiem Lake is Hanoi's largest tourist area. Its nostalgic streetscape and lively atmosphere are the draw, but crime targeting tourists is also frequent. Ta Hien Street in particular comes alive as a bar street at night, but it's full of touts, so watch out for pushy solicitation and pickpocketing.<\/p>\n
If you stay in the Old Quarter, it's a good idea to choose a quiet street a little away from the main thoroughfare.<\/p>\n

Central Vietnam's Da Nang has drawn attention over the past few years as a place where resort and city blend together. The city itself is compact and easy to get around, making it a good choice for a first stay in the central region.<\/p>\n
Da Nang is a safer area compared with other cities. The resort zone around My Khe Beach is especially safe and can be recommended even for families. That said, around the Dragon Bridge at night, crowds gather when the weekend show is on, raising the risk of pickpocketing and theft. Be thorough about safeguarding your valuables and take extra care when it's crowded.<\/p>\n
Hoi An, with its World Heritage Old Town, is a beautiful place where lantern light wraps the streets at night. It's well developed as a tourist destination, but without excessive flashiness \u2014 its calm atmosphere is part of the charm. Hotels inside the Old Town have real character, but the area goes quiet at night, so for solo female travelers the well-lit riverside area is recommended.<\/p>\n
The area around An Bang Beach is developing as a newer resort zone, with many well-secured properties for peace of mind. The Old Town is just about 15 minutes away by car, so access is good too.<\/p>\n

\nConfirm that basic security features are in place, such as 24-hour front desk service, security cameras, and a card-key system. For solo female travelers in particular, these are essential.<\/p>\n
\nChoose a place close to a main street with foot traffic even at night. Avoid spots deep in alleys or in unpopulated areas. Also consider access to the airport and tourist sites.<\/p>\n
\nCheck reviews on booking sites for safety-related feedback from people who actually stayed. Reviews from Japanese travelers are especially helpful.<\/p>\n
\nExtremely cheap accommodation may have issues with security or hygiene. Choosing a mid-range or higher hotel improves safety.<\/p>\n
\nInquire by email or phone before booking to gauge how the staff respond. A property that handles inquiries courteously is one you can feel at ease with during your stay too.<\/p>\nSafety measures to follow when going out at night<\/h2>\n
\nAt night, walk along bright streets with plenty of foot traffic. Avoid back alleys and dark roads, and stick to the main thoroughfares.<\/p>\n
\nCarry your bag on the building side rather than the roadside, and wear it over your shoulder or crossbody. Walking with your smartphone in hand is risky. Carry only the minimum cash you need, and don't carry large sums.<\/p>\n
\nFor getting around at night, use a ride-hailing app such as Grab. It's safer than flagging a taxi on the street, and you can confirm the fare in advance.<\/p>\n
\nDon't accept drinks offered by strangers. There are reported cases of sleeping pills being slipped into them. And absolutely avoid walking alone while heavily intoxicated.<\/p>\n
\nWhere possible, we recommend traveling in a group. For solo female travelers especially, keep nighttime outings to a minimum, or check with hotel staff about safe places before heading out.<\/p>\nWhat to do in an emergency, and contact numbers<\/h2>\n
Emergency contacts in Vietnam<\/h3>\n

\nConsulate-General of Japan in Ho Chi Minh City: +84-28-3933-3510<\/p>\nHow to respond to different kinds of trouble<\/h3>\n
\nFirst ensure your own safety, then file a report at the nearest police station. If your credit card is stolen, contact the card company right away to freeze it. If you lose your passport, contact the Japanese embassy or consulate-general.<\/p>\n
\nConsult your hotel's front desk and have them refer you to a hospital with Japanese-language support. Major cities have medical facilities where Japanese is understood. If you have travel insurance, contact your insurer's emergency line.<\/p>\n
\nIf a fare dispute arises, photograph the meter and note the license plate. Consider refusing to pay and reporting it to the police. Using a ride-hailing app in advance helps you avoid this kind of trouble.<\/p>\nSummary: For a safe and comfortable stay in Vietnam<\/h2>\n
