Question 3

What is the best time to visit Vietnam?

Accepted Answer

The best time of year to embark on this Vietnam adventure is during the dry season, which runs from October to April.
Why?
* Pleasant Weather: Temperatures are moderate, ranging from 20-30°C (68-86°F), making it comfortable for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
* Low Humidity & Less Rain: Ideal conditions for exploring cities, trekking in Ba Na Hills, and cruising in Halong Bay.
* Festivals & Cultural Experiences: If you visit in late January or February, you might experience Tet (Lunar New Year), Vietnam’s biggest celebration!
Months to Avoid?
*  May to September: Hot, humid, and the rainy season brings heavy downpours, particularly in Central and Northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An).
For the best balance of weather and experiences, aim for November to March!
