- Cool, dry weather in the north (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay)
- Sunny skies in central Vietnam (Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An)
- Warm and dry in the south (Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta)

🏖️ If You’re Focusing on the South (Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta, Phu Quoc)
Best Months: December to April
- Why:
- Dry season with minimal rain
- Ideal for beach days, boat tours, and city exploration
🏞️ If You’re Exploring the North (Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long Bay)
Best Months: October to April
- Why:
