Vietnam. 2 min read.
The window
Shoulder fortnights either side of peak festival weeks ease demand without losing good weather patterns.
If you can move a few weeks either side of Tet, Vietnam often feels lighter on the wallet and on the streets. Hoi An still lights its lanterns, and the river evenings stay soft without the densest holiday crush.
Practical
Treat Tet itself as a local holiday, not a travel bargain. Plan around it, not through the peak days, if you want room to breathe.
The window
Feb to April and October to November are the shoulder patterns travellers often use. Confirm local festival dates each year before you lock flights.
