Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi and its business hub Ho Chi Minh City were listed among the top 5 best cities for low budget vacations in 2015.

The ranking was conducted by Dr Prem, a renowned travel and tourism website, and based on average daily expenditures on food, accommodations and transportation.
According Dr Prem, an estimated daily budget in Hanoi would run around 17.40 USD with fairly stable prices throughout the year.

The foods and drinks were deemed delicious and inexpensive. Beautiful rice fields and distant mountain ranges added to the magic of the general landscape.

The travel site noted that the southern city of Ho Chi Minh can also be kind to the wallet, though it is slightly more expensive than Hanoi, raising the daily expenses to 17.79 USD. Prices are stable and also not subject to seasonal instabilities.

Hotel prices in the bustling Pham Ngu Lao Street are relatively high, but other options are very affordable.
Other top 5 cities included Ukraine’s Kiev, Nepal’s Pokhara Valley, and India’s Goa.-VNA
