One of the best nationwide months; warm, comparatively dry and suitable for multi-region circuits.
This guide explains what Vietnam is like in March: the weather, how busy it is, what to plan and who the month suits. Figures are typical values from our destination research, so check a forecast before you travel. Weather differs sharply by region, so read the notes for the north, centre and south.
March is warm and comparatively dry. Highs reach about 32°C and lows about 20°C, with about 35 mm of rain and humidity near 72 percent. The north has left the cool season behind, the centre is drying out and the south is warm. This is why March is one of the most reliable months for a trip that crosses all three regions without watching the forecast every day.
March suits almost everyone who wants a broad trip. First-time visitors, couples and honeymooners, families and friends all benefit from the dry, warm weather. It is a poor choice only if you want the lowest prices, because demand stays high.
March is warmer than February by about two degrees at the low end, with slightly more rain, and the central coast is more reliable. Compared with April, it is cooler and drier, since April heat builds in the south and showers begin. If you can pick one month for a three-region trip, March is a strong candidate. See also February and April.
March sits in the busy window from November to April, so book early. Because the weather works nationwide, it is the month to try the full north-to-south route, such as our North to South Vietnam 9N package. It is also a good month to give Ninh Binh a full day, since travellers say it is often skipped. Apply for the e-visa early, because peak periods can slow processing. Our packages are land-only, so flights are booked separately, and Indian travellers need an e-visa, covered in the Vietnam visa guide for Indians.
