Vietnam still has many beautiful tourist destinations, but if you go right in time, those tourist destinations are even more beautiful and sparkling than usual. The definite reason to travel at the right time is that each land and destination has unmistakable characteristics. And for those passionate about travel, the pleasure of being immersed in a specific season of the land we come to is incredible.
For the next 12 months, here are the best times to visit all tourist destinations in Vietnam, from north to south. I hope to help you choose each season’s most attractive destinations.
Places to travel in January
January borders the Lunar New Year and is winter in the North and dry season in the South. If you want to travel at this time, you should go to the following places:
Ha Giang
In January, plum and peach blooms begin to bloom magnificently in Ha Giang, accompanied by low temperatures (often below 0 degrees Celsius), so you may combine visiting to see flowers with watching snowfall.
Thai Binh
January is the ripe rice season in Thai Binh. If you come at this time, you will witness the scene of rice fields in Ms. Hai Nam Ton’s hometown ripening through the sky. Thai Binh is suitable as a tourist destination for backpackers rather than resort tourism.
Quy Nhon beach – Binh Dinh
Quy Nhon Beach (Binh Dinh) is clear and quietest from January to September of the annual solar calendar. At this time, the atmosphere in Binh Dinh is also fantastic, neither too hot nor too cold. The sea is calm, so a lot of seafood is spoiled for you to choose and enjoy.
Places to travel in February
February is also the time after the Lunar New Year with many exciting places for you to choose from:
Central Highland of Vietnam
If you want to visit the Central Highlands, you should go in February on the solar calendar. This is the most delightful time of year in the Central Highlands, with no rain and very cold temperatures. In addition to being suitable for visiting the coffee forest rubber, this is also beautiful weather for you to see the villages and explore the majestic and unspoiled mountains and forests of the Central Highlands.
Ninh Binh
Ninh Binh has Bai Dinh Pagoda, Tam Coc Bich Dong, and Trang, which are complex areas. These tourist sites are magnificent and attract tourists in February of the annual calendar.
Because there are so many tourists in Ninh Binh in February, finding a car to get there will be considerably more difficult. However, in order to save time and money, many individuals are now renting Ninh Binh limousines.
Tam Dao (Vinh Phuc)
You can visit Tam Dao (Vinh Phuc) all year, but if you want to see the nicest landscape in Tam Dao, with fog and clouds strewn about, come in February of the solar calendar.
Nam Dinh
Nam Dinh has a sea but mostly focuses on seafood, hence the most popular season for visitors is not summer but in February, shortly after the Lunar New Year. This is when many significant festivals of Nam Dinh take place, such as the Phu Dau festival and the opening of Tran Temple.
Sapa (Lao Cai)
Sapa is one of the most beautiful places in Vietnam to see snowfall. If you wish to see this scene, the best time to visit is between December and February of next year!
Lang Son
As well as Nam Dinh, in February of the annual solar calendar, Lang Son has many tourist sites such as the Tam Thanh Pagoda Festival, Go Vap Ky Lua Festival, Bac Le Temple Festival, etc…
In addition, November to April is also a reasonable time to travel to Mau Son, but going right in February is still an ideal time. With an altitude of nearly 1600 m above sea level, when you come to Mau Son this season, you can easily see the snow falling white in the sky, falling on the roof and branches, creating a scene like in a fairy tale.
Moc Chau (Son La)
Every year in January and February, the plum blossoms on Moc Chau are in full bloom, but in February, the calendar is the most beautiful. Because the weather is not too chilly, you may go outside and enjoy the view!
Places to travel in March
In March, the North starts at the time of spring rain. It is very crowded and humid, so there are not many suitable tourist places to go in March:
Dien Bien
In March, the forest white flowers in Dien Bien are gorgeous. The banana flower has long been considered a symbol of the Northwest region. Clusters of white flowers cover the valley from the deep valley to the mountainous region, like white clouds on the top.
Nghe An
Referring to the tourist destination in Nghe An at the end of the year, people will immediately think of the sunflower field with bright yellow flowers showing their golden color. Sunflowers here will be in full bloom from mid-November. In the middle of the arid Central land, a brilliant flower field appeared on the romantic Sao River, creating a perfect natural picture. In addition, besides the sunflower field this year, the organizers have planted a beautiful butterfly flower field.
Places to travel in April
In April, you will swoon at the beautiful scenery in the following tourist destinations:
Sapa (Lao Cai)
April is the season for young rice production in Sapa; everyone is engaged in the field, and the area is continually creeping. The bright watercolor is quite interesting.
Da Nang
Da Nang is always a young, dynamic and vibrant city, and you will feel this extremely clearly if you spend the holidays at the end of April to attend the fireworks festival.
The international fireworks festival hosted by Da Nang has been held often in the past few years. A splendid and splendid Da Nang is waiting for you to admire at the end of April!
Places to travel in May
In May, the month of the beginning of summer, there are sea tours with sweet and fragrant flowers starting in the season. If you want to eat and play, you should go to the following places:
Tam Coc Bich Dong (Ninh Binh)
With our people’s long-standing wet rice agriculture, rice has become familiar and the image of golden ripe rice is familiar to everyone. But if you want to immerse yourself in a golden rice region drifting along the Ngo Dong line, remember the appointment of the ripe rice season in Tam Coc Bich Dong (Ninh Binh) in mid-May!
The rice here is ripe and harvested very quickly, so take advantage of it to go early so that you can see each green-yellow field interspersed like a painting.
Quang Ninh
Coming to Quang Ninh, you will have many opportunities to choose great resorts and beautiful beaches,… in which it is impossible not to mention Ha Long Bay and Co To Island.

Ha Long Bay
Few people realize that the best time to visit Ha Long, Quang Ninh, is in May of the solar calendar. The weather is not too hot and the sun is not too brilliant at this time, so you may travel to the beach and see tourist attractions like Thien Cung Cave, Hon Con Dog, Hon Con Cat…
CoTo Island
When traveling to Ha Long, you must go to Co To Island. Paradise Island is a destination that cannot be more perfect for the sweltering sunny days of Hanoi.
Cat Ba Island (Hai Phong)
Hai Phong and Quang Ninh are two places close, so the weather and air are similar. This is also an excellent time to travel and relax at Cat Ba Island!
Sam Son (Thanh Hoa)
A tourist destination also loved by many people is Sam Son Beach, Thanh Hoa. Sam Son Beach boasts clean water and strong waves, numerous resort and entertainment complexes, and is relatively accessible to Hanoi. The tourism cost is not too expensive, so it is beautiful to tourists in May every year.
Cua Lo (Nghe An)
Cua Lo Beach in Nghe An is a little further away than Sam Son Beach. Cua Lo Beach is noticeable, and the fish is inexpensive, therefore it is on the list of options for many families and agencies every May.
Places to travel in June
In June, it was the middle of summer and the beginning of the rainy season, so the demand for avoiding heat, cooling, and sightseeing resorts also increased a lot.
Phu Yen
Phu Yen is like an unsharpened pearl of tourism in the Central region. If you are too familiar with the beaches or coral reefs stretching across Nha Trang or Quy Nhon, visit Phu Yen to experience a new aura!
Hoa Binh
When visiting Hoa Binh in the summer, you can go to Mai Chau or Thung Nai for a holiday or to observe the Hoa Binh hydropower dam at its most attractive.
Da Nang
The greatest time to visit Da Nang is from June to August on the solar calendar! At this time, the temperature in Da Nang is enjoyable. You can swim and go out without getting tired. Da Nang Beach is also tranquil at this time, not as turbulent as the period after August of the solar calendar.
Hoi An (Quang Nam)
Hoi An is a tourist destination relatively close to Da Nang, so tourists often combine to travel to these places simultaneously. However, you should avoid going to Quang Nam between September and December of the solar calendar because flash floods are hazardous at this time.

Phu Quoc (Kien Giang)
Phu Quoc is known as Pearl Island. The most beautiful is in October – November, the island’s dry season. At that time, the sea was calm, the waves were light, and the seawater was bluer. This is also considered the peak season of the Gem Island.
