Can Tho is famous for its delicious and unique local foods, such as banh xeo (Vietnamese crepe), banh cong (deep-fried savory cake), bun rieu cua (crab noodle soup), and hu tieu (Vietnamese noodle soup). You should also try the local fruits, such as rambutan, mangosteen, and durian, which are grown in the Mekong Delta.

The currency used in Can Tho is the Vietnamese dong (VND). You can exchange your currency for VND at banks, exchange offices, or at your hotel. It’s also a good idea to carry small bills and coins with you, as many shops and vendors may not have change for large bills.
