As there is so much to see around the country, the best way to experience a Vietnam holiday is to spend time in many different locations. Vietnam tour and travel packages offer tourists a wide range of options and cater for unique and individual itineraries.

For example you could experience the diversity of the North and South of the country, a great way to absorb the different cultures and scenery that each destination offer. Holidays should be relaxing and travelling to a new country can be stressful.

What time of year should you visit?"
Vietnam is a country with 2000 miles of coastline and three different weather systems!

It can be difficult to pick a good time of year to visit as the climate varies greatly from North to South. If you choose to take your holidays in Christmas and New Year it could be wet and cold in the North yet balmy and hot in the South.

North Vietnam has a distinct winter and summer and the temperatures reflect this. November to April will be cool and dry, with January to March being the colder months. May to October will be hot and humid and be prepared for increased rainfall too.

Central Vietnam has extremes of heat and rain. January to August will be very hot, with the highest rainfall throughout September – November.

South Vietnam has a less obvious temperature change. November to April will generally be hotter and dry with May & October seeing humid and wet weather.
