Popular Vietnam Travel Styles
LuxurySeniorsHoneymoonsFoodWe recommend traveling to Vietnam between November and March.
While the climate differs between Vietnam’s three regions, you can enjoy comfortable conditions and clear skies in northern, central, and southern Vietnam from November through March. Southern Vietnam is wonderful during these times of the year, while it may be worth considering spring, from March to May, and fall, from September to November, for trips to Vietnam’s northern hills as the weather is warmer than in winter.
Regardless of where you go, Vietnam is a year-round destination, and while humid and rainy, the summer is an excellent time for enjoying the warmth along the southern coastline. Northern Vietnam’s rice paddies are also stunning in the summer. Bear in mind that Ha Long Bay cruises are not always possible in the summer when the rainfall is heavy and frequent.
As you consider your plans, explore our guide on the best time to visit Vietnam to find a time that is best suited for your type of adventure and travel preferences.
