The couple went to Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City and had lunch there on Friday, the director of the charity facility told the Saigon Giai Phong (Liberation Saigon) daily.
Newspapers, which ran front-page photos on Friday of Pitt and Jolie riding a scooter in the city, said on Saturday their photographers had been unable to capture any shot of the couple on their second day in town.
The two arrived in Vietnam on Thursday during what appeared to be a break from filming "A Mighty Heart" in India, where they have been mobbed by fans and stirred a media frenzy.
The film stars Jolie as the wife of U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, who was abducted and murdered by Islamic militants in Pakistan in 2002. Pitt is the producer.
State newspapers said the couple flew into Vietnam on Thursday from Cambodia, birthplace of their adopted son Maddox.
That night they dined at a Vietnamese restaurant. One newspaper said they would leave Vietnam on Saturday.
