The historic city of Hue is warm and less touristy. Explore the Imperial City and historical sites. Enjoy the beautiful beaches of Da Nang, explore the Marble Mountains and take advantage of the improving weather conditions for outdoor activities.
Although rain is still possible in September, the charming ancient city of Hoi An and lantern-lit streets are a beautiful sight. Ho Chi Minh City has high humidity and occasional rain, but you can still experience its vibrant street food, historic sites and bustling markets.
Despite the rainy season, the Mekong Delta is a unique place to experience the local way of life and floating markets. Be prepared for the possibility of flooding, which can be an interesting cultural experience.
September is also suitable for enjoying Vietnam's beautiful beaches. The weather improves in the resort city of Nha Trang where you can enjoy the beaches, water activities and local cuisine.
