When to go a destination? à HÔ CHI MINH-VILLE ?
The rainy season, which begins in May and ends in early September, is marked by torrential rains. It rains almost every day. The dry season begins in November and ends in April. April is often the hottest month of the year. The climate in Vietnam is very different from north to south, but remains generally warm and humid all year round. If you go to the north from November to February, however, bring warm clothes, as the temperature can drop to 0°C in the mountains. In the south, on the contrary, temperatures can rise to 40°C in the months before the beginning of the monsoon season, at the beginning of summer. Depending on the region, the monsoon waters the country between July and November.
When to go to Ho Chi Minh City? The best time to go to Vietnam is generally outside the monsoon season. These torrential rains, which can cause landslides and, consequently, momentary road or rail cuts, generally affect until November, the provinces of the Center and the Mekong Delta in the south of the country. During the high season (July, August and September, and during the Tet period, the Vietnamese New Year, in January-February), prices increase in some establishments and, given the narrowness of the country, you may have the feeling of following a highway for tourists. During Tet, it is often difficult to travel from abroad to Vietnam, as transportation is crowded with overseas Vietnamese returning home.

Discover HÔ CHI MINH-VILLE
With some 12 million inhabitants, including 1 to 2 million illegal immigrants, Ho Chi Minh City is more populated than the capital, Hanoi. Although it does not yet have the classic size of most East Asian megacities, there is no doubt that Ho Chi Minh City will experience growth over the next 20 years that will require the resolution of many problems in terms of development, environment, infrastructure and investment.
The different districts of Saigon are all imbued with a rather specific atmosphere: the new Saigon, with its contemporary architecture and luxury boutiques, the colonial Saigon, the Saigon of the Americans, or Cholon, the Chinese city. Day and night, the atmosphere of Saigon is that of a mythical city. To be discovered by bicycle, on foot, on the port or along Dông Khoi street, not forgetting the gastronomic breaks!
