Is Saigon a safe city to visit?
It is a perfectly safe city for tourists, provided you avoid scammers preying on visitors. Common tricks include the money switch, performed by motorbike and taxi drivers quickly switching whatever money you give them for a smaller sum and getting upset at you; groin grab, by attractive girls on the street distracting men on the street while another one empties his pockets; fake taxis and travel companies, that's you should only trust Vinasun (white taxis) and Mai Linh (green taxis) or use an app like Uber; and, in general, be extra careful with people offering services or products on the street since they might try to charge you crazy amounts of money somehow.
