When is the Best Time to Visit Vietnam

As a rule of thumb, the best time to visit Vietnam is during the equivalent Australian Autumn and Spring months. These are:

Autumn: March and April

Spring: September to December

In reality, there are few reasons to be held back from travelling to Vietnam, because of weather patterns. There will always be sunshine and rain in varying amounts, every month. And it is consistenly warm and humid.

Vietnam also has a coastline stretching 2500 kms, as well as three distinct weather systems. You would not be wrong to view this country like three seperate locations: North, Central and South Vietnam.
