Frequently asked questions about Can Tho
How do I get to Can Tho?
Can Tho has its own domestic airport (VCA, Can Tho International Airport), though most travellers arrive overland by bus from Ho Chi Minh City's Mien Tay Bus Station, a journey of roughly ~3.5-4 hours; there is no rail link to Can Tho. Direct flights connect VCA only to a handful of domestic cities, so international arrivals typically transit through Hanoi, Da Nang, or Ho Chi Minh City first.
How many days should I spend in Can Tho?
Plan on ~2 days, enough time for an early-morning floating market boat trip plus a wander through the surrounding canals and orchards, with an overnight stay recommended to catch the markets at their liveliest around dawn.
