Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time travel to Vietnam?

The best time to visit Vietnam depends on the region you plan to explore:

  • - In the North, including Hanoi, Ha Long, and Sa Pa, spring (March to April) and autumn (September to November) offer ideal weather with sunny days perfect for sightseeing. For those who love SaPa and the Fansipan mountain, the months of October, November, February, and March are the best times to experience the breathtaking "cloud hunting" scenery.
  • - In Central Vietnam, including destinations like Da Nang, Hoi An, and Hue, the best time to visit is from February to August, with July and August being the sunniest months, ideal for beach vacations and exploring the region’s culinary and historical culture.
  • - In the South, including Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, the weather is warm year-round, but the dry season from December to May is particularly favorable for travel

Can you give me advice about the Weather and anything else that I need to take care of?

Vietnam's rainy season typically falls between mid-July and the end of August, bringing storms and flooding to the central region, and creating challenging, even dangerous, conditions for mountain climbing in the northern areas. Therefore, it is crucial for travelers to regularly check weather forecasts during this period to ensure their safety.

What are the best places to visit in Vietnam?

The best place to visit in Vietnam:

  1. Hanoi ( Vietnam's Capital) : This is tops the list of the best place to visit in Vietnam. The city boasts many distinctive features, such as an iconic red brigde ( The Huc Bridge) that can not be found in any other place, makeing it a must - visit for travel enthusiasts. Even on the busy streets, you can feel Hanoi's charm and peacefulness.
  2. Halong Bay: Renowned for its green waters and towering limestone karsts covered in lush vegetation, Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site.For many people, the highlight of their trip to Vietnam is an overnight ride aboard a traditional junk boat around Ha Long Bay. As you glide down the calm rivers, you'll see floating settlements like Cua Van, Vung Vieng, and Cong Dam and be treated to surreal sights. The best ways to see one of Vietnam's most stunning locations are to kayak through the stunning caverns and karsts or have a swim in the clean, quiet waters.
  3. Sapa: Known for its breathtaking mountain scenery, terraced rice fields, and ethnic minority villages, Sapa is great for trekking and cultural experiences.
  4. Ninh Binh: Known as "Ha Long Bay on land," dazzles with its dramatic limestone karsts, serene waterways, and impressive caves. Highlights include scenic boat rides through Tam Cốc’s caves, exploring the historical Hoa Lư Ancient Capital, and marveling at the stunning landscapes and cave systems in Trang An.
  5. Danang: A vibrant coastal city known for its stunning beaches, modern skyline, and rich cultural heritage. Highlights include the iconic Dragon Bridge, the Marble Mountains, and the scenic My Khe Beach. The city offers a blend of historical sites, vibrant street food, and a gateway to nearby cultural attractions like Hoi An and My Son.

Visitors can enjoy wandering through its narrow alleys, exploring historic temples, and savoring delicious local cuisine, all while experiencing a unique blend of traditional and colonial influences.
  7. Mekong Delta: One of Vietnam's most picturesque areas is the Mekong Delta, sometimes referred to as the "Rice Bowl of Vietnam." Life in this land of meandering rivers, mangrove forests, floating marketplaces, and verdant rice fields is dictated by the ebb and flow of the most famous river in Southeast Asia.
  8. Ho Chi Minh City: Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City serves as both the southern region's principal hub and Vietnam's economic center. The dynamic cityscape of HCMC, a free-spirited, multicultural metropolis, combines old and new Vietnam in the smallest possible area, symbolizing both the city's past and future.

"This was our first time visiting Vietnam, and we’re so glad we booked with AsiaMystika. Ms. Jade was super helpful from the very beginning — always quick to respond and happy to adjust the itinerary to match what we were looking for. Everything was smooth: airport pickups, hotel check-ins, and daily tours all went exactly as planned. Our guide in Ninh Binh was fantastic and made the boat ride feel even more special with his stories. We felt completely looked after, and the whole trip was stress-free and full of great memories. Would definitely recommend"

Our family had part of our trip plan with Mr.Arthur this past March 2025. He helped setup all our pickups from airports to hotels and arrange all our in-flights within Việt Nam. He also customized four trips between Hanoi, Danang, Hoian including the Ha Long Bay cruise. We could not be happier with the travel agency. All our day trips was customized to what we really want and sometimes modify at last minute. Mr.Arthur always try very hard to help us. If you want a more private tour group, they are the best. Best listener and patience with all my questions before the trip. I cannot thank the team enough for a great trip especially Arthur who was always making sure everything is going well. Thank you 😊

"Asia Mystika were absolutely amazing and listened to our brief very well. They were very quick to respond and suggest options for us. The itinerary they came up with was exactly as we wanted, including many off the beaten track activities, which we would otherwise have not done. We had a fairly tight schedule and wanted to see Hanoi, Da Nang and Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh, as well as end with some beach relaxation. This was all achieved, the drivers and tour guides were wonderful, with fabulous English, and modern, clean and safe vehicles and drivers. Communication with them was fast and fantastic, even when having to change our plans last minute. Highly recommended and we will be recommending to our friends and family."

We just spent the best 3 weeks in Vietnam. Asia Mystika organized an amazing itinerary. Mr.Billy coordinated everything so perfectly from the booking to the last day of our trip. Billy welcomed us in Hanoi in person with gifts. He thought about every details (birthday celebrations and anniversary). He checked on how it was going every time we were in a different region. Every private guides and drivers were very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and made sure we had the best time. The hotels were very nice. We discovered three regions and loved each of them. We really learned a lot about the culture. We finished our busy trip with 4 nights on Phu Quoc island which was perfect place to relax. The highlight was the 2 nights cruise in Halong Bay on the Legend dragon. We loved every part of the trip. Really everything was wonderful and we got a great travel experience We would highly recommend the agency. Thank you Billy for your planning.
