Experience spring in Vietnam

The best time to travel to Vietnam depends on your destination. While southern and central Vietnam have two main seasons, wet and dry, northern Vietnam has closer to four distinct seasons that include spring, summer, autumn and winter. However, spring might be the good choice for you to visit Vietnam.

1. Weather

The southern Vietnam: from 20°C to 30°C and as high as 40°C in the hotter months of March and April.

In Central Vietnam, you will find similar temperatures and humidity, but just a bit cooler. The north can get cool-cold in the early months of the year, with rainy days, and a damp feel.

2. Where to go

It is the dry season in South and Central Vietnam with mild weather and beautiful skies. So, this is the perfect time to head to the pristine beaches and islands of the south, such as the Con Dao Archipelago and Phu Quoc, or to visit the amazing lakes and waterfalls of Dalat.

In Central Vietnam, head to the ancient port town of Hoi An, picturesque Hue, and the beaches of Nha Trang. In the Northern mountains of Vietnam, the rice is planted in late Spring, and the rice terraces are iridescent green.

3. What to do

In the beginning of the lunar calendar falls in February, you will get to see the spectacular celebrations of Tet, or Vietnamese New Year, which is the largest holiday in Vietnam.

Besides, Hung Kings’ Temple Festival (April) is one of popular festivals you should take part in in Spring.

4. What to pack

Light, breathable clothing is recommended for trips to Ho Chi Minh City, along the Mekong Delta, and to the beaches of Southern Vietnam. Pack your swimwear so you can take cooling dips in swimming pools at midday if you wish.

If you are heading to Central Vietnam, bring along a light sweater as well, as mornings and evenings can be cool.

Northern regions experience several cold snaps throughout the winter months, so bring enough warm clothes if you are travelling to this area.
