Food
What to Eat
- Mì Quảng. Turmeric noodles with shrimp, peanuts, and rice cracker — central Vietnam classic.
- Bánh xèo. Crispy savory pancakes wrapped with greens at street-side grills.
- Bún chả cá. Fish-cake noodle soup, the local breakfast — find it before 10am.

Transportation
Getting Around
Grab cars and motorbike taxis are cheap; the city is flat and easy to scooter.
Negotiate motorbike rental from a hotel rather than the airport for honest prices.
