FYI if you are not changing huge amounts or not bothered by small percentage differences like 3 - 5%, then all these does not matter anymore regardless of where you change

Thank you guys! May I know whether you can negotiate better rates with the moneychanger? Are there cases of robbery after you have exchanged for money at a moneychanger?

Does Vietnam mainly use USD or VND at tourist attractions?

hello! you can use VND for all your transactions there. In fact, I believe is better to use VND as there are normally problems with the change if you use USD. Some may even not give you a change for your USD. they round it up.

I do not believe it is negotiable. If you want, the goldsmiths around Bến Thành Market offers the best rates. change a bit at the airport first for your taxi into town. I've not heard of a robbery near a money changer. But you have to be careful of flashing your cash around the area.

Tourist attractions leh all can use VND even all makan & such, I think the only things that may require USD is when you tapao but then you can also always pay them in VND equivalent
