What is the best time to travel to Vietnam ?

For Vietnam, any time can be a good time for travel. The opposing monsoonal season, which means different weather patterns from North to South, will give each time in the year an advantage. Plus everyone has a preference. Therefore, each month or season in Vietnam will meet one of these expectations, if not all.
1. January - March: Vietnam weather between January and March is characterized by cool and occasional light rain in the North, warm and dry in the centre and the south. The period between January and March also sees the most colourful festivals taking place all over the country, including Tet festival. You can go: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (during Tet holiday), Sapa (January, March), Dalat (January), Nha Trang (February, March).
2. April - June: Fine weather: the season transforms from spring to summer so the weather is cool with occasional light rain. You can visit Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City during April 30th - May 2nd, which coincide with the long holiday in Vietnam. Enjoy time in the city: fewer traffic congestion, nice fresh air and perfect time to visit museums and tourist spots. And explore Sea festival in Hue and fall in love with the beauty scenery in here and join in festival with local people.
3. July - September: June to early September is a wet and hot period. It does not sounds like an ideal condition to travel, but for beach and sun lovers, they cannot find a better time to visit Vietnam than this. You can come popular places with beautiful beaches like Halong Bay, Sapa, Danang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc... to enjoy summer time.
4. September - December: Good time to visit the North of Vietnam such as Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay and other provinces nearby, the sky is clear and the wind is gentle. the weather is the most beautiful in the year for North Vietnam and rainy in the rest of the country. Uncrowded public space since domestic tourist season is over. You can visit Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa and the northern part of Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City and non-beach areas are also great to visit during this time of the year.
