How to exchange currency and withdraw cash in Hanoi, Vietnam (which foreign cards work at ATMs)?
Best exchange rates are at gold/jewelry shops (tiệm vàng), not banks or malls; Russian MIR cards don't work at Hanoi ATMs, so bring cash or a UnionPay card; you can open a local VND account with just a foreign passport at banks like Vietcombank.
