1. Climate in Vietnam 

Vietnam's climate varies greatly and is characteristic from one end of the country to the other due to its latitude differences. The country's geographical peculiarities make it possible to have a wonderful trip to Vietnam in every season. Indeed, while one region is humid or stifling, another offers a sunny and very temperate climate.

+ From December to February:
The north and center of the country are in winter. The average temperature varies between 15°C and 23°C. It is quite cool and humid with irregular rain, especially in the mountains where the temperature often drops below 10°C. This period is characterized by frequent drizzle, which the Vietnamese call "dust rain." There is therefore very little sunshine.

The south of the country is considered an ideal time of year, as it is the dry season with 1 to 2 days of rain per month. It is also the time when the temperature is pleasant, ranging from 22°C to 33°C. The vegetation is very green, offering you great opportunities to take beautiful photos.

+ From March to May:
This period is known as the most beautiful season of the year for an ideal stay in Vietnam. During this period, the climate is very pleasant. It is the dry season in all 3 regions of the country but also the period when vegetation is lush, green rice fields offer you great opportunities to take superb souvenir photos.

The North is located in spring, where the weather is mild. This region benefits from the cool breeze, with an average temperature of 15°C to 25°C. During this period, this region experiences beautiful sunshine but rarely rain.

This is also the best time of year to visit the Center. The climate is quite favorable and tropical. The weather becomes sunnier, with a nice rise in temperature between 25°C and 32°C.

The south is considered a good time to visit. The climate is dry and very sunny. However, the heat can be unpleasant, as the average temperature ranges from 28°C to 34°C and can rise to 41°C. However, the frequent short rains bring a bit of freshness.

+ June to September:
This is the country's third tourist season. Overall, the climate is pleasant from north to south for traveling in Vietnam.

The north of the country is in summer. The climate is hot with an average temperature of 25°C to 33°C. Rainfall this season is heavy (usually showers) but short-lived, lasting about 30 minutes to 1 hour. The mountainous region is also hot, with frequent but heavy and rapid rains. The sky is blue and sunny, and the weather is the clearest of the year, while the rice terraces are lush green. It's ideal for short hikes to ethnic villages.

The central region is a good time to visit, as it's not affected by the summer monsoon. The weather is good, often with heat haze, and temperatures can reach 40°C. Rainfall in this region, however, is less frequent than in the north. However, if you're staying in the central seaside resorts, the beach will be your best ally for cooling off.

The south has a tropical climate with an average temperature of 25°C to 33°C. This is the rainy season, but the rains are often in the form of very rapid downpours (about 15 to 30 minutes). After the rain, there is immediately generous sunshine under clear skies, and the vegetation is also very green.

+ From October to November:
Overall, October to November is considered a very good season to travel to Vietnam.

The North enjoys a very pleasant climate in autumn, with cool, dry weather and an average temperature of 15°C to 23°C.

The center enjoys a fairly pleasant temperature between 20°C and 28°C. This period also corresponds to the stormy season with heavy rainfall that can lead to more or less significant flooding on the coastal strip. This region also experiences heavy rains, although present, do not last long.

The south enjoys a tropical climate, with average temperatures ranging from 24°C to 32°C. Sunshine and warmth are always present. During this period, heavy rains (in the form of brief but almost daily torrential downpours) cool the atmosphere. Be aware, however, that heavy rains generally occur towards the end of the day and should leave you free to explore the region.

Our latest weather advice 

• Vietnam lies in the path of typhoons and tropical storms and is particularly affected between mid-July and mid-November. With modernized infrastructure and weather warnings, there is no major danger.

• The rainy season does not mean raining all day long, hence monsoon season seems to be a more appropriate term, and contrary to popular belief, these rains are nourishing and synonymous with life in Vietnam, the land of water!

2. Accommodation  

Horizon Vietnam Travel offers comfortable hotels ranging from 2 to 5 stars, offering all the amenities you need. We will provide you with specific suggestions based on your budget and preferences. It's worth noting that a 5-star hotel can cost ten times more than a 2-star hotel. Furthermore, two hotels in the same category may not have the same price, as quality varies.

The hotels featured in our offers have been personally reviewed. Cleanliness, quality of service, location, charm, and tranquility are our selection criteria. When we have a choice, we favor smaller hotels and work less with international chains.

In addition to hotels, we have developed a fair trade tourism program through contact with the local population, offering the opportunity to stay with locals and share their daily lives. The accommodations we offer are well-maintained and offer the best possible conditions.

Good to know  : Please note that during peak season (October to April), hotels can fill up quickly. Book well in advance to avoid any availability issues.

3. Visa

To travel to Vietnam you must have a valid passport valid for at least 6 months after your return date.

The Government of Vietnam promulgates the Resolution on visa exemption for entry into Vietnam for citizens of five European countries: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. This exemption is applied for a maximum period of 45 days regardless of passport category and purpose of entry to Vietnam, and is valid from August 15, 2023.

Visa exemption is also applied for multiple entries as long as they are less than 45 days.

For any stay of more than 45 days, a visa is required.

4. Vaccin

First of all, according to the Vietnam General Administration of Tourism, vaccination is not mandatory for a trip to Vietnam. We confirm that our country has a tropical climate and therefore mosquitoes do exist. However, malaria cases only exist in remote and isolated areas in the high mountains. In our experience, vaccination will be necessary for hiking trips in isolated high mountain areas, in forests, and lasting 1 to 3 weeks. While this type of cultural tour will take you through regions where conditions are sufficiently safe.

Usually, our travelers only use mosquito repellents, which are very effective and practical. So, this is enough, and there's no need to worry. However, we recommend buying some from home because it's difficult to find good quality products in Vietnam. Aside from these mosquito repellents, it's best to prepare long jeans that can completely cover your legs while walking through rice fields.

Today, all hotels apply highly effective mosquito repellents, while mosquito nets are well-prepared when staying with locals.

Note: If you are fragile and susceptible to contagious diseases, we strongly advise you to consult your doctor.

5. International flight

Our offer does not include international flights between your country and Vietnam for two reasons:

• International flights departing from your country are more expensive if purchased in Vietnam. Therefore, it may be more cost-effective to purchase them from a ticketing agency in your country.

• Payment and booking conditions for international flights are strict, and it's difficult for us, a local agency, to apply the same conditions to you (full payment before travel). Since international financial transactions incur significant bank fees, you'll be forced to pay unnecessary surcharges.

Here are some tips from us for your purchase of international flight tickets:

• Flight comparison websites are the most effective tool for finding your ticket. They allow you to compare flights based on your own selection criteria. You can consult one of the four below:
