Why visit Vietnam?

Vietnam offers a blend of historic cities, coastal landscapes, and mountain scenery, where traditional villages sit alongside fast-growing modern centres.

What to expect

You can explore vibrant Ho Chi Minh City in the south, the coastal charm of Da Nang in central Vietnam, and Hanoi in the north with its leafy boulevards and Old Quarter.

Plan your trip

Vietnam suits short escapes and longer journeys, and also works as a gateway to explore wider Indochina by road or short regional flights.

Best time to visit Vietnam

Vietnam’s climate varies by region, but you can broadly group the year into three travel periods. From December to March (peak season), temperatures are generally mild to warm, ranging from about 18–25°C (64–77°F) in northern cities like Hanoi, and warmer further south. From April to August (shoulder season), you can expect hotter conditions of around 26–33°C (79–91°F) across much of the country, with more sunshine but also an increased chance of short, heavy showers. From September to November (low season), temperatures ease to roughly 22–30°C (72–86°F) with higher rainfall in some coastal areas, yet this period can offer fewer crowds and softer light for sightseeing.
