April marks the beginning of one of the most favorable travel periods across Vietnam, as destinations nationwide enter a season of clear skies, vibrant landscapes and pleasant weather, promising a well-rounded experience for visitors.

In the north, Moc Chau in Son La stands out with its cool climate and refreshing natural scenery. April is also the plum harvest season, drawing travelers eager to pick fruit and taste plump, ripe plums straight from the orchards.

Many plum gardens have introduced additional services such as tent rentals and traditional costumes, catering to visitors looking for immersive experiences and photo opportunities. Areas with the highest concentration of ripe plums include Mu Nau Valley, Na Ka, Co Keo and Ban On.

For those seeking cooler retreats, Sa Pa in Lao Cai or Ta Xua in Son La offer ideal conditions. Meanwhile, beach lovers can head to Co To in Quang Ninh or Cat Ba in Hai Phong, where gentle sunshine and minimal rainfall create perfect conditions for swimming, kayaking and outdoor exploration.

In central Vietnam, early April brings Hue into the transition from spring to summer, with mild temperatures ranging between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. The weather is dry, lightly sunny and slightly cool in the early morning, making it ideal for visiting historical sites such as the Imperial City, royal tombs and pagodas.

This period is also well-suited for experiences such as watching sunrise or sunset over Tam Giang Lagoon, exploring Ru Cha mangrove forest, Bach Ma National Park, Thuan An beach or Lang Co Bay.

However, travelers should note that by late April, temperatures in Hue begin to rise noticeably. Visiting heritage sites is best done early in the morning to avoid midday heat.

For island experiences, Ly Son in Quang Ngai offers an appealing escape. In April, the island enjoys dry weather, calm seas and fewer crowds compared to peak months like June and July.

Beyond exploring landmarks on the main island such as Thoi Loi peak, Hang Pagoda, Duc Pagoda, Cau Cave and To Vo Gate, visitors are encouraged to spend a day on Be Island, often referred to as the “Maldives of Vietnam” for its striking beauty.

In the south, April is considered one of the best times to visit Phu Quoc in An Giang, as it falls within the dry season. The weather is sunny with calm seas, creating perfect conditions for beach activities.

Visitors can unwind at Rach Vem fishing village, Bai Sao and Bai Truong beaches, explore Hon Thom island, join four-island tours or visit safari parks in the northern part of the island. The season also offers a chance to enjoy fresh seafood specialties such as herring salad, tram mushrooms and abalone.

According to travel businesses, flight and hotel combo packages for Phu Quoc are currently about 30 percent cheaper than the same period last year.

Although it is not yet peak fruit harvest season, April is still a good time to explore Can Tho. Visitors can experience early morning trips to Cai Rang floating market, watch “flying snakehead fish” performances at Con Son, visit fish farms, explore old houses or cocoa gardens.

Food enthusiasts can also plan a culinary journey featuring dishes such as bun goi da, banh hoi with grilled pork, duck cooked in fermented bean curd, street-style hu tieu, banh tam bi and banh cong.

Travel notes

April includes two major holiday periods. The Hung Kings’ Commemoration holiday will last three consecutive days from April 25 to 27. This is followed by the Reunification Day on April 30 and International Workers’ Day on May 1, forming a four-day holiday from April 30 to May 3, 2026.

Many travelers are expected to extend their leave by taking additional days off, creating a nine-day holiday similar to the Lunar New Year break.

As a result, the period from April 25 to 30 is expected to be peak travel season nationwide. Travelers may consider planning trips before this period to avoid crowds, limited accommodation and traffic congestion. Those traveling during the holidays are advised to book tours, flights and accommodations early and plan transportation in advance.
