3rd of 12 overall in Hanoi, 3rd for weather, 4th for space, 6th for value. The emptiest month is June; the best value is August.

Plan around

Cool and cloudy season: Conditions are cool to cold by Hanoi standards, often misty and cloudy. This is comfortable for walking, but the damp air can feel cooler than the thermometer suggests.

Not set on March?

Cooler, clearer conditions create excellent sightseeing weather.

Only six rainy days, lower humidity and mild temperatures make late November especially strong.

Comfortable temperatures and moderate rainfall suit full days outside.
