Respecting Vietnamese Cultural & Religious Heritage

Cultural etiquette ensures a deeply respectful experience during Vietnam Tours. Here is your guide based on current norms:

• Greetings — Smile and offer a gentle nod or light handshake; use “xin chào” (hello) and “cảm ơn” (thank you) — Vietnamese people greatly appreciate visitors who attempt basic phrases.
• Dress — Wear modest clothing covering shoulders and knees when visiting pagodas, temples, churches and royal sites; carry a light scarf (DKK 20–25 or €3) to cover shoulders if needed [Legend Travel Group expertise].
• Behaviour — Remove shoes before entering pagodas, temples and private homes; speak quietly in sacred spaces; do not point feet at Buddha images or people; ask permission before photographing monks, nuns or ceremonies. One guest shared: “The respect shown deepened the entire spiritual experience.”
• Customs — Small donations (DKK 2–8 or 20,000–50,000 VND) are appreciated at pagodas; tipping guides (DKK 4–15 or 50,000–100,000 VND/day) is welcomed but not required. Be mindful of incense offerings and avoid disruptive behaviour during ceremonies.
• Advice — Approach Buddhist, Confucian and Catholic sites with the same reverence; use eco-friendly habits like reusable water bottles (DKK 30 or €4) to support sustainable Vietnam Travel; maintain silence in sacred spaces. Tony Bùi notes: “In 20 years guiding, I’ve seen respectful Greenlandic travellers thrive in these cultural destinations.”
