The best time to visit depends on the region. Generally, spring (February to April) and autumn (August to October) are ideal for most parts of Vietnam due to mild temperatures and minimal rainfall. However, northern areas like Hanoi and Sapa are beautiful in winter, while southern beaches are sunny and warm year-round.
Bring lightweight, breathable clothing, especially in summer. For the north during winter, pack warmer layers as it can get chilly. Don’t forget comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a raincoat or umbrella if you’re traveling during the rainy season.
