Keep you calmer by knowing that any time can be a good time for traveling in Vietnam. Representing different weather patterns from North to South, the opposing monsoonal season will give an advantage each time in the year. However, everyone has a preference: some cannot tolerate the scorching heat, some prefer to meet the people on enjoying the rich culture while others want to be in a non-crowded area. For this reason, each month or season in Vietnam will meet not all but one of these expectations.

Spring from February to April and autumn from August to October is regarded as the best time to visit Vietnam. During that time, the temperatures are more pleasant though still cool in the far north and there are fewer rainfalls across all destinations. North Vietnam travel tours
