Explore the magical land of Vietnam, where beauty can be found both in nature and in its rich culture. Vietnam is no longer a place where traditional pointed straw hats are commonly worn while plowing rice fields. In many of its cities, the country has advanced in craftsmanship, cuisine, and livelihoods.Of course, even as things have advanced over the years, the Vietnamese have never let modernity overshadow their rich culture and beautiful mountainous landscapes. In fact, this only highlights the many activities you can enjoy in this wonderful country, especially with travel being easier than ever. In this story, explore the various things to do in Hanoi and Sapa, located in the northern part of Vietnam.Weather Conditions in Hanoi and SapaThe storm season begins in May and lasts until around October in the northern regions. Additionally, the country's climate is divided into three primary zones: Northern, Central, and Southern.In North Vietnam, where Hanoi and Sapa are located, the weather is cool and dry from September to November and from March to April, making it a great time to travel. Additionally, August and September mark Sapa’s harvest season, providing the perfect opportunity to witness the highland hills come alive with vibrant colours.How Long Should I Stay in Hanoi and Sapa?Depending on your itinerary and whether you wish to explore beyond just these two places, we recommend 8-10 days if you're only visiting Hanoi and Sapa. This will allow you to enjoy a relaxing trip without rushing through your holiday.Travelling Around Vietnam (Transport System)Travelling around Vietnam is now easier than ever. Between cities, you may want to take a flight, especially if you're travelling from North to South of Vietnam. For travel within regions, the country offers sleeper buses or trains that take you to your destination overnight while you rest.Within the city, Grab is exceptionally affordable, and they also offer Grab Bike services for solo travellers—an experience you can't find in Singapore!Photo credit: Grab Vietnam websiteThings To Do in HanoiA 4D3N trip is perfect for Hanoi. The weather in Hanoi is cooler than in most parts of Vietnam, so be sure to bring a windbreaker or jacket!

It’s finally 2025, and this marks the start of an exciting new year filled with new dreams, goals, and aspirations! A new year also brings the refreshing renewal of public holidays in Singapore, especially with so many events taking place in the first half of the year.With these public holidays, we can look forward to long weekends and plan for a trip with minimal leave taken. So, when is the best time to travel this year? Read on to find out the ideal times to take leave and explore the world!January1 January, Wednesday: New Year’s Day29 January, Wednesday: Chinese New Year30 January.

March is also an ideal time for travel, as the weather abroad is typically great, and you might even catch the cherry blossoms in full bloom in Japan!Book Your Get Away from Trip.com & Earn Cashback Here!Proposed travel dates: 1 Leave, 4 Days Trip: 28 Mar to 31 MarApril18 April, Friday: Good FridayIt’s another perfect month with a public holiday falling on a Friday, which means a long weekend! Take a break this month or go for a short getaway to recharge. Alternatively, if you're looking for an "almost month-long" holiday, overlapping the holidays could give you a break lasting nearly three weeks!Proposed travel dates: 13 Leave, 23 Days Trip: 29 Mar to 20 Apr9 Leave, 17 Days Trip: 18 Apr to 4 MayMay1 May, Thursday: Labour Day12 May, Monday: Vesak DayIt’s the best season for long-haul travel!

Of course, June still offers a public holiday on a weekend. With Hari Raya Haji falling on a Saturday, you can either take the off day on another day of the year or, depending on your company's policy, enjoy the holiday on Monday. Either way, it gives you more reason to relax or plan another getaway! Also, don’t forget to celebrate all the fathers in the house on Father’s Day, 15 June!

Whether you’re chasing sales or hitting KPIs, July is the perfect time to work hard after enjoying a restful first half of the year! Moreover, it’s too hot to travel in July, unless you’re heading down south to Australia. Nonetheless, it’s a great month to recharge and re-strategise for making the most of the second half of 2025.August9 August, Saturday: National DayIn-lieu or Monday offSimilar to Hari Raya Haji, you can choose to take the National Day leave at any day of the year if you work a 5-day workweek. Our recommendation is to take it as soon as possible, as it has been two months since the last public holiday, and it will be over two months before the next one! To stay refreshed and avoid burnout, we highly recommend taking this leave on the following Monday, 11 August.SeptemberIf you have any leftover leave or off-in-lieu to claim, September is the perfect month to use it before the year ends! With more than a month more to the next holiday in October, you might start feeling the need for a trip, and September is ideal for a holiday with its cool weather temperatures.October20 October, Monday: DeepavaliAfter more than two months without a public holiday, celebrate the Festival of Lights on a Monday with your loved ones! For those who don’t celebrate Deepavali, enjoy the long weekend or go on a short retreat before returning to work for another two months until Christmas. This season, instead of Bangkok or Bali, consider a short 4D3N getaway to Guangzhou, China, or Taipei to enjoy slightly cooler temperatures!Proposed travel dates: 1 Leave, 4 Days Trip: 17 Oct to 20 OctNovemberAlthough November doesn't bring many events, the end of the year is always a joyous season.
