Vietnam has a tropical climate, which varies significantly depending on the region. Hanoi, in the north, has a subtropical climate with cool winters, whereas Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), in the south, remains warm all year round. The best time to visit is generally between November and April, when it is dry and more pleasant to explore, particularly in the south and centre of the country.

The official currency of Vietnam is the Vietnamese dong (VND). Although bank cards are increasingly accepted in major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, it is advisable to always carry cash, particularly for purchases in local markets or rural areas. ATMs are readily available in large urban areas.

The country has a rich and diverse culture and a fascinating history. Historical sites such as the Cu Chi tunnels and the Citadel of Hué bear witness to significant events of the past, particularly the Vietnam War. When visiting, it is important to respect local customs, such as removing your shoes before entering temples and houses or greeting people with a slight bow. Respect for traditions, especially towards elders, is fundamental to Vietnamese culture.

Vietnamese cuisine is one of the most delicious in Asia and offers a wide variety of fresh, balanced dishes. You can enjoy fragrant soups such as pho, fresh spring rolls (gỏi cuốn) and rice-based dishes containing chicken or pork. If you are travelling in the south, be sure to sample the local tropical fruits and the renowned canh chua (sour soup). Street food is everywhere and an integral part of the Vietnamese experience.
