When is the best time to visit? Weather in Vietnam varies, so it’s best to work out what you want to experience and where. For beach breaks, you probably want to stick to the drier months from February to June, before the peak summer crowds arrive. If you're heading to the highlands for trekking or exploring Hanoi, October to April is the best season. Generally, February to April are your best months to visit Vietnam.
