Municipalities (Vietnamese: Thành phố trực thuộc Trung ương; literally cities centrally directed) are the highest-ranked cities in Vietnam.[1] They are centrally-controlled cities as province level.

Three levels of cities in Vietnam:

  1. Municipalities
  2. Provincial cities
  3. Towns

Subdivisions

The municipalities are divided into urban districts and rural districts or district-level towns. In turns, urban districts are divided into wards, and rural districts are divided into communes and commune-level towns (thị trấn).
