Best Time to Visit Vietnam

Vietnam's long shape means weather varies significantly by region. As a general guide:

February to April is excellent for the whole country: the dry season is well established, temperatures are comfortable and the crowds are manageable. February sees Tet (Vietnamese New Year) festivities.

May and June are good for the north (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay) before the heat builds, but the south becomes hot and humid. A good time for the north-focused itinerary.

September to November is excellent for the centre and south: the dry season returns to Hoi An and Hue after the central monsoon, and Ho Chi Minh City is at its most pleasant.

December and January are cooler in Hanoi (around 18°C), fine in the south, and the most popular period overall. Book well ahead for December and January departures.
