Hai Phong's industrial corridors, especially Nguyen Van Linh Avenue and the roads around the container terminals, carry heavy truck traffic on weekday mornings and late afternoons. Motorbike taxis and Grab are the quickest way to cross the city; expect pickups to take longer in the outer industrial zones at night.
Most daily spending is cash in Vietnamese dong (VND). ATMs in the city centre accept foreign cards but cap each withdrawal, so withdraw the maximum rather than several small amounts to limit the flat fee. Bank counters and gold shops give different rates than the central rate shown above.
Autumn is the most comfortable season in the north, but sudden downpours still flood low streets in the older districts. Locals keep a thin rain poncho in the motorbike seat all year. Typhoon season runs until about November, so check the national forecast before booking boat trips to Cat Ba.
Vinmec International Hospital offers English-speaking outpatient care. Serious or specialist cases are usually transferred to Hanoi, about 75 to 90 minutes away by expressway. Pharmacies are common and sell many medicines without a prescription, but bring your own supply of anything essential.
