Should I Travel to Vietnam During Tet?

There was not much else to do other than wander the quiet streets, but at least there were restaurants open for business. It was nice to know that we weren’t going to starve for several days during Tet. This is what I was most concerned about with being in Hanoi during Tet…finding food.

Fortunately, finding a good meal was easy! There were still several Vietnamese cafes open as well as a number of western style restaurants. We ate at Moose and Roo Pub and Grill, JOMA Café and Buon de la Cafe. Finding food was easy and there was even a minimart near our hotel that was always open for business.

Should I Travel to Vietnam During Tet?

Our family really enjoyed being in Vietnam during Tet. We loved seeing people carrying home flowers and kumquat trees on their motorbikes, hotels and restaurants decorated for Tet, and we loved seeing how happy and excited the Vietnamese people were in anticipation of this holiday.

How often do you get to walk to streets of Hanoi when they are so quiet?

Plus, the weather in Vietnam this time of year is very comfortable. It is hot and dry in the south and cooler and overcast in the north. In Hanoi, we awoke to cloudy, drizzly skies every morning but by the afternoon the skies had cleared up. Temperatures were a pleasant 75 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night.

Traveling during this time does not come without its difficulties. Trains and buses are sold out in advance so travel plans cannot wait until the last minute. Hotels do not usually sell out since most Vietnamese travel home rather than stay in hotels, but it still helps to have your room booked in advance as well. For up to five days museums and shopping areas can be closed which can really impact sightseeing plans, so make sure you have things to do to keep you occupied.

All in all, if you want to witness Tet celebrations in Vietnam and do not mind four to five days of downtime in your schedule, traveling to Vietnam during Tet is worth it.
