Budget travel allows you to save money for living expenses and other travels while still experiencing new places and cultures. When planning a budget trip, it is important to research transportation, accommodations and food costs in advance. You should also book rooms and flights in advance when prices are lower, use public transportation when possible, and consider bringing some food to save money compared to tourist prices. Budget travel opens opportunities to visit popular places in Vietnam like Ha Long Bay, Ba Dinh Square, and experience cultural festivals.
