Can Tho in 1 day — FAQ

Can you see Can Tho in one day?
The morning market and canals, yes, and that is the core of the city. What a single day costs you is the countryside — the orchards, the wetlands and a homestay night all need a second day.
What time should you start a day in Can Tho?
Five in the morning. Cai Rang trading peaks between 5.30 and 7am, and a boat that leaves at seven arrives to find the barges already untying. Every hour after five is a worse market.
How much does a day in Can Tho cost?
Roughly €45–€70 per person: a sunrise market and canal tour at €19–€32, lunch for a couple of euros, a sunset cruise from €31, and the ancient house and pagodas for a token entry fee.
