The magic of female-only hostel floors (Source: Internet)Hanoi consistently ranks as one of the safest capital cities in Southeast Asia for women traveling alone. Friendly locals, extremely low violent crime, well-lit streets in the Old Quarter, and a huge community of female travelers make it the perfect starting point for your Vietnam Travel adventure.
At Legend Travel Group, more than 65% of our solo travelers are women. Every week we welcome hundreds of independent female explorers who quickly become friends on our small-group Vietnam Tours designed with women’s comfort and safety in mind.

Use Grab (Vietnam’s Uber) or PassApp after 10 PM – never accept random motorbike offers
Keep your bag in front (zipper against body) when walking through crowded markets
