Generally, the best time to go to Vietnam is between March and April or September and November, which are the shoulder seasons. Plan your luxury Vietnam travel during these seasons to enjoy mild weather and avoid the major holiday crowds. For southern beaches such as Phu Quoc, Ho Chi Minh City, and the Mekong Delta, you should visit between December and April. Central spots like Hoi An and Da Nang are nicest from February to August. The most pleasant time for the  Northern region (including Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and Sa Pa) is between March and April or September and November.

Take the smoky, charcoal-grilled pork patties, vermicelli noodles, and fresh herbs, and dip them all directly into the flavorful sauce (nước chấm). This iconic Hanoi dish is an absolute must-try.

A delicacy of Northern Vietnamese cuisine. Banh Cuon are soft, translucent rice rolls filled with wood ear mushroom and minced pork, with a sprinkle of fried shallots on the top.
