Where to relax in Vietnam in December
In winter, the choice of countries for relaxing on the warm sea is small, so tourists from Europe and Russia come to sunbathe and swim in the countries of Southeast Asia. In Vietnam, in December 2021, a beach holiday is especially good on Phu Quoc Island, Mui Ne and Phan Thiet.
In the high season, the resort life is in full swing. Tourists enjoy spending time on the beaches, riding bikes and sightseeing. Popular among vacationers are diving, sea fishing, elephant trekking, golfing and wellness programs in traditional medicine centers. Parents with children spend time in water parks and attractions. For shopping, we advise you to go to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
How to dress for the weather
If you are planning a trip to the north of Vietnam or the mountains in December 2021, take care of warm clothes. In Hanoi, at night, the thermometer drops to + 15 ° С, and in the mountains it gets colder to + 2 ° С. It will be cold without a jacket and sweater! A raincoat and windbreaker will come in handy for excursions in damp and windy Central Vietnam in early winter.
Southern resorts delight with warmth. At night, the air temperature is +22 ... + 26 ° С. Bring your swimwear, sun hat and light beachwear.

Should you go to Vietnam in December?
Dry, sunny weather and warm sea attract beach lovers, families with children and surfers to Vietnam in December. To swim and sunbathe, choose the south of the country. In other regions, you will have to limit yourself to excursion tourism.
Do not expect the sea to be completely calm in December! On windy days, large waves rise near the coast, and you cannot swim. The main disadvantage of vacationing in Vietnam in December 2021 is high prices. At the peak of the tourist season, so many tourists come to Vietnamese resorts that tours, hotels and excursions become more expensive.
