    The Perfect City for Independent Travelers Who Don’t Want to Travel Alone

    Ho Chi Minh City (still lovingly called Saigon by locals) is electric, chaotic, and endlessly rewarding — the ideal for solo adventurers. From rooftop bars in District 1 to hidden alleyway cafés, war history sites, and the mighty Mekong Delta just hours away, the city offers limitless discovery. Yet the real magic happens when solo travelers join small-group Vietnam Tours: you keep total independence while sharing unforgettable moments with fellow explorers.

    Legend Travel Group has been crafting solo-friendly group adventures since 2008. Every Vietnam Tour is designed so independent travelers instantly feel part of a ready-made travel tribe — no forced pairings, no awkward dinners alone, just great people, expert local guides, and the freedom to come and go as you please.

    Best of all? Deposit only 10% today and pay the balance 30 days before departure — total peace of mind for your solo adventure.

    Essential Solo Adventure Tips for Ho Chi Minh City

    1. Visa & Entry (Super Simple for Most Nationalities)

    • 45-day visa exemption for many countries (UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, Korea, Nordic countries, etc.)

    • E-visa ($25 single / $50 multiple entry) for almost everyone else — apply online in 5 minutes

    • On-arrival visa still available at Tan Son Nhat Airport ($25–$50)

    2. Best Areas to Stay as a Solo Traveler

    • District 1 (Pham Ngu Lao / Bui Vien) — backpacker central, safe, lively, walking distance to everything

    • District 1 (Dong Khoi / Nguyen Hue) — upscale yet still walkable, perfect for rooftop bars and culture

    • District 3 — quieter, authentic local vibe, great cafés and street food

    3. Safety for Solo Travelers

    • Ho Chi Minh City is very safe for solo travelers (including women)

    • Normal precautions: money belt in crowded markets, use Grab instead of random taxis after midnight

    • Tourist Police hotline: +84 28 3829 7649
