The airport
The small airport is located near the center of Wangtau, and the Americans were built during the war. Now small private aircraft and helicopters fly from here. And then most helicopters are used in the field of oil production. That is, the fly from Moscow or Kiev will not work here. Therefore, we fly to Ho Chi Minhine, and from there by bus or taxi - to Vungtau.

In the city: Taxi-sootokl
Taxi-motorcycle or "XE OM" represent an interesting way to move and examine the city, but still, this is not the most popular way, as, let's say, in Ho Chi Minh City. Taxi drivers and motorcyclists can stand at the beaches, especially many of it happens on the weekend. A trip within one district should not cost more than VND 30,000. By the way, if you agree to drive you throughout the city during days, you can get a profitable deal - someone can agree on 10-15 bucks. Keep in mind that prices are lower in the middle of the week. It is better to record the address of your hotel or the right place to a piece of paper so as not to explain a thousand times. Also, be careful, "pronging to the tail" such taxi drivers in the dark.
If you want to leave the hotel from the hotel on a motorcycle, consult a reception desk - the hotel staff can know several drivers numbers. But here we must negotiate in advance. And do not forget to demand a helmet, because motorcycles in the wings are the most dangerous vehicles.
In the city: taxi

The most respected companies in the city - Vinasun and Mai Linh: Taxi of this company can stand on almost all major roads in the city. Taxi ride - more expensive than on a motorcycle. And even more expensive than a taxi in Ho Chi Minh City (sometimes by 30%). The average cost of a trip around the city is $ 4-13. By the way, you definitely trap the cost of the passage, and before the start of the trip. Prices Taxi drivers love to break as it should, do you need it? Even if in a taxi costs a meter, a taxi driver can choose the path of authentic and "roll". Just in case, a couple of auto-taxi numbers:
Mai Linh - 064 352 2888
PV - 064 361 6161

When you arrive in Vungtau, notice that, in general, there are not a lot of cars here on the roads. Taxi - yes, but little.
But bicycles and motorcycles are a lot. And therefore, most often the speed is limited to 50 km / h. We go to the Vietnamese as it fell, they can easily go to the right, even if the sign shows that there is no turn, the mirrors do not look, the turns are not warned about his turns! But you will be smarter and follow the rules. By the way, the extreme left row is highlighted for machines. To rent a motorcycle, you need to have a passport, rights and amount for collateral. Most likely, the motorcycle will give you if you are more than 21 years old (in some way and from 25 years old, but it is less likely). The rental process is very fast, especially not ceremony. You can rent a motorcycle or scooter at all on every corner, and it is worth it all a penny - a couple of dollars a day. But only be sure to ask the Helmet! I think your health is still expensive.

Buses on Wungtau drive Yes, there is even a schedule, but it is very crookedly observed. You may not even count that the bus will come at the specified time.
If you hurry - sit on a taxi. On average, a ride on a city bus is about 5,000 dongs. In the rush hour, the buses will jar-pockets, be extremely attentive.
On foot
Well, everything is clear here. The main comment: Despite the fact that in general, in the wings there is not so much transport, be very careful. If you need to move the road, then simply smoothly move across the road - slowly and steadily, without stopping: drivers will simply open you. Well, in general, you will notice how locals do.
