The weather and the best time to visit Vietnam vary enormously between the north and the south. Depending on where you want to spend most of your time, make sure you are prepared for the weather.
What is the best time to visit Vietnam
The best time to visit Vietnam is from December to April. The temperature is pleasant and there is almost no rain. But the best time to visit Vietnam also depends on where in Vietnam. In the north it can get quite cold in December and January. Therefore, view the weather by month for each region. March is the best month to travel throughout Vietnam.
Seasons
High season (June-July)
High season for traveling to Vietnam is usually in June and July. Although this is a peak season for the Dutch due to school holidays, the Vietnamese school holidays are also overlapping at the moment. Prepare for busy airports and full flights, especially if you plan to explore more of Southeast Asia while you are there. If you want to travel cheaply, this period, as well as during Tet (early February), may not be the best time to visit Vietnam. You will find that many hotels and flights are fully booked if you look for it at the last minute. With many people on the move, it’s best to plan in advance to get some good deals on flights and accommodation.
Low season (September-October)
This is the cheapest time to fly to Vietnam. Not only can you save a lot on airline tickets, but you also have less crowds during your holiday!
Rain season (monsoon season)
As with most destinations, you can still enjoy Vietnam during the monsoon season (April to October), but there are some reservations. You meet fewer travelers and many more mosquitoes during the rainy season. Negotiating better prices for accommodation becomes easier, and tours can be cheaper, but outdoor activities become soaked experiences. Transport delays happen. Buses may not run during long periods of heavy rainfall, because sometimes roads get flooded and become more dangerous to drive.
Typhoon season
Although nature does not always play by the rules, hurricane season (typhoon season) usually ends every December around December. The start dates depend on which part of Vietnam: north, central or south. In general from August to November and October is generally the most stormy month.
When are the rice fields the most beautiful?
If you have ever dreamed of seeing the beautiful golden rice fields, be on time, the harvest season only lasts 1 month! Vietnam has beautiful rice fields in different locations in the countryside from north to south.
Terraced fields in the mountainous provinces in the north of Vietnam are the best at the end of September and October, when the harvest season starts and then show beautiful colors.

January
During this time of the year, dry and pleasant weather can be enjoyed in most of the country, with the only exception being the northern regions. Temperatures can drop dramatically in these areas, especially in the mornings and late evenings it feels much cooler. This is especially the case for Sapa and Ha Giang. For the best beach weather you have to go to Phu Quoc with guaranteed sunshine. It is good to know that the Halong Bay can be quite blurry at this time of year and you may not get the best views.
February
The cold mornings begin to disappear in the north and hot dry weather is expected in most of the country. North Vietnam remains an exception and feels colder.

March
This is high season for travel to Vietnam and the best time to visit. Beachgoers now have a better choice of destinations, with Mui Ne, Con Dao and Nha Trang all getting good weather. Hoi An is also a great beach destination by the end of the month. This is the perfect time to visit Halong Bay, which should have a clear blue sky without haze.

It is getting hot and May offers a wonderful opportunity to miss the April high season prices. Rain has yet to come, but by the end of the month you can expect a rain shower in the northern and southern regions.
June

July
Central Vietnam is the best place to be, with hours of sunshine and little rain. The rest of Vietnam is likely to experience some showers, but not enough to influence your pleasure.
August
Central Vietnam is the best place to visit at this time of the year, although the rest of the country is still worth a visit, if you don’t mind having occasional rain. Although flights can be more expensive, hotels offer great promotions during the Vietnamese low season.

October
The sun is returning to the north of the country and this is a great time to go to Sapa or leave the beaten track in Ha Giang. Although this is not the best time for a beach vacation, Vietnam has so much more to offer and traveling in October means you skip the crowds.
November
The high season begins again and many people head to Vietnam for the colder winter months in the north. By the end of the month, the entire country is generally hot and dry, with the exception of the central region, which can have some showers.

“Nha Tho Duc Ba Sai Gon” which is known as Notre Dame Cathedral Saigon has an official name as Immaculate Conception Cathedral Basilica in English and Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Saïgon in French. This French-built cathedral occupies scenic Paris Square in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City at 1 Cong Xa Paris, Ben Nghe, District 1, Notre Dame Cathedral. It is one of the oldest religious architectural works in Saigon. Combining to other constructions such as Central Post Office, Reunification Palace, Opera House, etc. Notre Dame Cathedral contributes to create a unique architectural complex, which is the symbol of urban architecture of the most dynamic city, Saigon – Ho Chi Minh city.
History
Immediately after occupying Saigon, the French established a church to serve as a place of worship for Catholics in the army. The first church was located on today’s Ngo Duc Ke street, which is an old Vietnamese temple abandoned due to the chaos of the war. This first church quickly became small with an increasing number of believers. In 1863, Governor Louis Adolphe Bonard decided to build a wooden church on the banks of the Charner Canal (Kinh Lon). This canal was later filled and built into Nguyen Hue Street today. Father Dominique Lefèbvre put the first stone for the construction of this church, then named it as Saigon Cathedral. However, due to the wooden construction, the church was soon destroyed by termites. Thus, in preparation for a new solid church on the growing land, in August 1876, the Governor of Cochinchina – Victor Auguste Duperré organized a competition to select designs for the new church. Architect J.Bourad was chosen with a modified Roman architecture project combining with Gothic characters. And he also won the bid to build this historic building. The original construction site was proposed in three places, and finally the Paris Commune Square was chosen. The front of the church turns to the Southeast, towards Nguyen Du Street, the back heads to the current Le Duan Street. The construction was done fairly quickly, nearly 3 years. On 11th April 1880, a blessing ceremony and inauguration ceremony of Saigon Cathedral was solemnly celebrated by Bishop Colombert with the participation of Cochinchina Governor – Charles Le Myre de Vilers. All construction materials for the church such as cement, steel, tile, stained glass, bells, etc. were all transported from France. The outside of the buildings, for instance, was built totally of red bricks from Marseille without plastered or cemented. However, it still remains fresh orange-red color until today. In the beginning, the Church was called the State Church, because all the construction funding was provided by the French State, with an amount of up to 2,500,000 francs at that time. In 1895, the church built two more bell towers, each tower was 57.6 m high and had 6 large copper bells. At the top of the tower is a crucifix with a height of 3.50m. Overall height from the ground to the top of the crucifix is 60.50m. In 1958, the governor of the Saigon at that time, Father Joseph Pham Van Thien, ordered a statue of the Mother of Peace on white marble. The statue was carved in Italy and transported to Saigon by sea in 1959. After that, Société d’Entreprises Company has erected a statue of Our Lady on a stone pedestal that has been empty since 1945 in front of the church. At the end of the ceremony of the National Congregation of the Holy Mother, Cardinal Aganianian from Rome blessed the statue in the afternoon of 17th February 1959. From this event, the Church was named Notre Dame Cathedral. On December 5, 1959, the Holy See allowed to hold anointment ceremony, conferring the Saigon Cathedral to the basilica. Since then, the official name of the cathedral is the Notre Dame Cathedral in Saigon. In 1960, the Holy See erected Roman Catholic dioceses in Vietnam with three archbishops in Hanoi, Hue and Saigon. The church became the cathedral of the archbishop of Saigon to this day.
