Best Time to Visit Vietnam
Vietnam stretches over 1,000 miles with different weather in the north and south. There is no single "best" time — plan around which region you are visiting.
Cool/dry
15-25°C
Best for Hanoi, Halong Bay, and Sapa. Avoid December if you dislike cold. Tet (Lunar New Year, Jan/Feb) is festive but everything closes.
Dry season
25-35°C
Best for Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta, and Phu Quoc. November to February is ideal. March-April gets hot.
Dry, warm
25-32°C
Best for Hoi An, Da Nang, and Hue. Avoid September-November when typhoons can hit the coast.
May – Oct
Humid, wet
Short tropical showers, not all-day rain. Hotels are 40-60% cheaper. Halong Bay cruises may be cancelled in storms.
Flight Tips for Vietnam
Compare Hanoi vs Ho Chi Minh entry
Flying into the city closest to your main destinations saves domestic travel time. Hanoi for the north; Ho Chi Minh for the south and Mekong. Central Vietnam (Da Nang) has growing international connections.
Domestic flights are cheap
Vietnam Airlines, VietJet, and Bamboo Airways compete on major routes. Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh flights start at $35 one-way. Book 2-3 weeks ahead for the best fares.
Open-jaw saves backtracking
Fly into Hanoi and out of Ho Chi Minh City (or reverse) for a north-to-south trip. This avoids retracing 1,000+ km and often costs the same as a round-trip to one city.
Consider nearby hubs
Bangkok and Singapore often have cheaper connecting flights to Vietnam than direct flights from Europe or Australia. A short stopover can save $100-200.
