Vietnam stretches 1,650 kilometres from north to south — and that means completely different climates 🌏. The north (Hanoi) has four genuine seasons. The centre (Hoi An and Hue) has a ferocious autumn rainy season. The south (Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc) is tropical year-round. There's no perfect time for all of Vietnam simultaneously — but there's always a part of it with beautiful weather.

These four months are Vietnam's finest overall — the south is in full dry season and the north and centre have mild and comfortable weather. February with Tet (Vietnamese New Year) celebrations makes it particularly unforgettable 🎊

When to Avoid

OctoberNovember

If you want the central coast (Hoi An and Da Nang), avoid October and November — heavy rain and potential flooding. The south and north remain accessible in this period 🌧️

Vietnam is a country that grabs your heart — from the green rice fields to the turquoise beaches to the food that never leaves your memory. Plan your route north to south in the right season and you'll come back immediately 🇻🇳💚
