Nearby Attractions

Three standout local sights are within easy reach of the property.

Second, the iconic Old Quarter, just 15 minutes away, is a maze of 36 ancient streets each dedicated to a traditional trade, perfect for sampling street food, browsing handicrafts, and people-watching. Third, Vinhomes Royal City’s own underground Vinpearl Ice Rink and Vincom Mega Mall, a five-minute walk from the property, offers family-friendly fun, high-end shopping, and a wide range of international dining options.

Travel Tips

Book your apartment well in advance during peak travel season (September to November and March to April) when rates fill up quickly. If you’re traveling with a car, confirm your parking spot when booking, though no advance reservation is required for the private lot. Grab rideshare is the easiest way to get around from the property; rides to the Old Quarter cost less than 50,000 VND (~$2 USD). Ask the concierge to arrange a private car to the airport to avoid surge pricing during rush hour. For a quick, authentic meal, head to the street food stalls along Nguyễn Trãi just outside the development entrance, where you can try delicious phở and bún chả for less than $1 USD per serving.
