08Trip intelligence

Good to know before you go

When to go

October to April — dry and pleasant. Central Vietnam (Hoi An) is best February–August. Avoid October–November for typhoon risk in the centre.

Before you pack

  • Vietnamese Dong for markets; USD widely accepted
  • Traffic is intense — cross roads slowly and confidently
  • Halong cruise cabins are limited; book 45+ days ahead
