The most budget-friendly time to travel to Vietnam is usually during the off-peak tourist season.
This typically occurs in the following months:
- May to September: This is the rainy season in many parts of Vietnam, especially in the North and Central regions. Due to the unstable weather and potential for sudden rain showers, many tourists stay away from Vietnam during this time. However, tourist destinations such as Da Nang, Hoi An, and Phu Quoc still attract visitors due to unique travel experiences and lower prices.
- November to April: This is the dry season and the peak tourist season in most parts of Vietnam. However, between November and December, as well as in April, may be considered the best times to travel because prices are usually more reasonable and there are not as many crowds.
Additionally, you should also check for special promotions and discounts from various hotels, airlines, and transportation providers. Sometimes, planning your trip at the right time and taking advantage of special offers can help you save a significant amount when traveling to Vietnam.
