Conseils aux voyageurs

Use Grab/Uber taxi services at the airport
It's gonna take a few more minutes. But you don't have to worry about being ripped off.

Bikes are the fastest way to get around
Bikes are the fastest way to get around, but it's also a dangerous one as well. However, if you have ever been in Thailand, Vietnam is way safer. Just for a fact, death toll in traffic accidents in Vietnam is half the number in Thailand. :-))

Use Grab/Uber taxi services in off-peak time
Grab/Uber is the cheaper options to taxis and are often have better services too. However, in peak time like rush hours (during 7-8am, 11:30am-1pm and 4:30-7pm) their price is the same as other taxis. In my opinion, if you see a lot of traffic jams on Google Maps, call VinaSun taxi (+8428 38272727).

Sending information to drivers in Grab's app
Most of the drivers is not good in English. If you Grab, try to message him some of descriptions of the position where you're standing. Grab will translate those info to the local language so your drivers could understand and come to the right place to get you.

You should use the Grab app. It not only does transportation but also does food delivery. Look for 4.5 stars or above restaurants on there.

Find a high rise building such as Saigon Skydeck or rooftop bars and come there in late afternoon so you can see the views in both daytime and nighttime.

Choose an apartment complex to stay if you really appreciate
...your privacy. Of course if you could afford it. Usually it would take 35-50 per night (or higher). You will find those places in the buildings from Vinhomes, NovaLand or Masteri... They have high security standards which only allows the tenants on the same floor to access your floor. And you would not have to share with anyone else (if you booked the entire place).
