🧭 A few tips for smooth travel
- Set off early: During peak evening hours (18:00 – 23:00), crowds pour into the beach area. If you can, leave 30–60 minutes earlier than planned.
- Use parallel routes: When Trần Phú is closed, take inner streets such as Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai, Yersin, or Lê Thánh Tôn to loop back toward the center.
- Walk when possible: If your hotel is near the festival zone, walking saves the hassle of finding parking in the crowd.
- 45-seat coaches note: Traffic police advise tour operators and accommodations to limit 45-seat coaches picking up or dropping off guests on central streets during peak hours to avoid congestion.
- Park only in designated areas and follow the on-site officers' directions for everyone's safety.
