When vacationing in Vietnam in October, the pressure of rainfall slowly begins to decrease. The focus of fall travel to Vietnam should be on its northern part. The flow of rain in Hanoi decreases, allowing you to tour the capital and its surroundings. The Halong Bay is once again ready to welcome travelers eager to admire its beauty and take a swim before the water cools before winter.
It's best not to think about the central provinces when vacationing in Vietnam in the fall. Cities in the narrow part of Vietnam are slammed by typhoons and sometimes hit by devastating hurricanes. Taking risks going here on vacation is definitely not worth it.
