Vietnam Travel Advisory: Level 1, Exercise Normal Precautions

The U.S. Department of State updated its travel advisory for Vietnam, maintaining Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions). Vietnam is generally safe, but petty crime is common in tourist areas. Landmines and unexploded ordnance exist, with highest risk at construction sites; risk is low in urban and populated areas. Travelers are advised not to pick up or approach unknown metal objects.
