WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR TO TRAVEL VIETNAM?
It’s always a good time to go travelling in Vietnam! The country’s long and narrow shape means that the three major regions (north, central, and south) experience different types of seasons and weather patterns throughout the year, so there’s no one ‘perfect’ month to travel Vietnam. Most months of the year you can experience both sunshine and possibly some rain. It’s usually quite hot and humid most of the time, but it can occasionally get cold, especially in the north of Vietnam between November and February, so it’s wise to bring a couple of warm layers along with your summer clothing.
WHY TRAVEL TO VIETNAM?
A little more off-the-beaten-track than neighbouring Thailand, Vietnam is one of South East Asia’s most beautiful countries. Despite rapid modernisation, Vietnam’s traditional charms have not been overshadowed. Whether you’re a foodie, adventure seeker, thrifty backpacker, beach hopper, culture vulture, or everything in between – Vietnam’s definitely got something for you.
DEVOUR THE WORLD’S BEST STREET FOOD
Fresh, flavourful, and full of spice and herbs, Vietnamese food is *chef’s kiss*. While you probably have Vietnamese restaurants at home and may recognise dishes like Pho, Bun Cha and Banh Xeo, you haven’t tasted the real thing until you’ve travelled around Vietnam. Frequented by Vietnamese people at any time of day, street storefronts are the perfect place to grab a stool, watch the world go by, experience daily local life, and enjoy food that is nothing short of amazing.

SAIL THE MAGNIFICENT HA LONG BAY
The World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay is every bit as breathtaking as people say. Made up of 1600 rain-forest islands soaring out of the sea, this natural wonder is absolutely worth the journey from Hanoi. Our Vietnam group tours include an overnight stay on a private island in the heart of Ha Long Bay, meaning we have time to soak up the region’s natural beauty from all angles, at all hours of the day.
EXPLORE BEAUTIFUL RURAL VILLAGES, MOUNTAINS & RICE PADDIES
Step out of the bustling cities and you’re guaranteed to find tranquility in Vietnam’s rural regions. With welcoming, generous locals and a slower pace of life, the country’s natural beauty is best exploring by bike. Or simply choose to lay back in a hammock with a book and a banana smoothie, it’s up to you! After all we’ve been through, we’re as excited as ever to get back into Mother Nature.
LEARN ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR
Vietnam has been occupied and divided by other countries for decades, so its long history is understandably complex. But no single event has battered the nation worse than the Vietnam War. The aftermath war is preserved in museums and monuments, such as the Cu Chi tunnels outside of Ho Chi Minh, that can now be visited by tourists. Learning about Vietnam’s history is an intriguing, crucial history lesson, definitely a must-do when backpacking Vietnam.
