Our trips to Vietnam
Culture
Vietnam is heavily influenced by Chinese culture. Family is highly valued over individualism and it’s common for three or more generations to live under one roof. Vietnamese people are considered to be one of the hardest working collectives.
Best time to visit
When travelling to the northern parts of Vietnam, the months from February - April (spring) and August - October (autumn) are the best times to visit. This is due to consistent sunny days and clear skies. When travelling further south, you’ll usually have beautiful, warm weather year-round.
