The Vietnamese capital offers beautiful weather once winter arrives, as daytime temperatures range comfortably between the 60s and 70s (°F) and rain showers are infrequent, the website wrote.

Travelers are able to visit top attractions such as the Temple of Literature and indulge in a steaming bowl of Phở, the nation’s most popular kind of noodle soup for dinners.

The website of the United States also noted that a wintertime visit offers the opportunity for guests to experience some of Hanoi's best events, such as Tet which celebrates the Vietnamese Lunar New Year every January or February and the Perfume Pagoda Festival which is a Buddhist pilgrimage which takes place every February.

Elsewhere, Honolulu-Oahu in the US topped the list of best winter vacations. As temperatures begin to drop in other parts of the world, Hawaii's capital remains comfortable with average highs in the low to mid-80s (°F), the website noted.

The other places to make the top five include Sydney of Australia, Lucerne of Switzerland, the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador, and St. Lucia in the eastern Caribbean.
