Vietnam is one of Asia's most ecologically and culturally diverse countries. The beautiful scenery ranges from the cool mountains of the northwest, with cascading rice terraces in Sapa, through the narrow central coastal plains, home to some first-class beaches, especially around Da Nang and Nha Trang, to the Delta region of the Mekong River in the south.

A: It depends on where in Vietnam you are hoping to go to figure out the best time to go, but overall, the best time to visit Vietnam is early February, the only time when the weather is not rainy or too hot throughout the whole country. The North of Vietnam is best visited between October and December, when temperatures are moderate and it is less rainy, and December and January are also good times to visit Southern and Central North Vietnam as it is generally drier and less hot.
