Holidays and weather in Nha Trang in March: photos, videos and reviews from tourists

The first month of spring does not give warmth. And I want it so much, because according to the calendar it’s spring and the only thoughts in my head are about how great it will be to walk outside in a T-shirt, shorts and soak up the sun rays. So you can wait a long time, until the end of May, when the weather more or less stabilizes. Or you can go on vacation abroad. Where it is already warm and sometimes hot. For example, the weather in Nha Trang in March 2020 is perfect for beach holiday. You can spend the whole day on the beach, sunbathing and swimming. The water temperature is above +27 degrees, and nothing will spoil your vacation. Reviews from tourists, their photos and videos will help you understand how great it is to vacation in Nha Trang Vietnam in March, and how much it costs.

With the arrival of spring, Nha Trang has excellent weather for relaxing on the beach. It is believed that this is the most best month at the resort. And there are explanations for this. Firstly, there is no intense heat when the sun shines so much that you can’t go outside in the morning. Secondly, the precipitation there is small, so many people don’t notice it. And thirdly, here low prices what is important factor for many tourists when choosing their holiday destination.

Yes, March is a great month to spend in Nha Trang. Average temperature per day it stays around +25 degrees. and during the day the air warms up a little more and becomes +30. On some days, the peak temperature can reach +35 degrees, but as a rule, there are no more than 3-4 such days in March. And they can pass one after another, or they can be “scattered” throughout the month.
The nights also delight with their warmth. After sunset, when the sun goes below the horizon, it becomes a little fresher, about +23 degrees Celsius. Closer to midnight, under the light of the moon, the air cools a little more to +21. Minimum temperatures appear closer to morning. When the sun begins to rise over the resort. At about 5-6 am, thermometers show +19, and many tourists get up early to arrange morning jog along the seashore.

Speaking of the sea, in March it is very warm and you can swim in it all day. The water temperature is +25 degrees, and when during the day the sun warms the air to thirty degrees, it seems as if the water becomes even hotter.
Daylight hours last 12 hours. This is the time when the sun appears above the horizon and disappears behind it. In total, there is about 14 hours of light in Nha Trang, and this is good news, since during this time you can do a lot.

But there is a fly in the ointment in this barrel of honey, or rather a few rainy days. According to weather forecasters, there are 3-4 of them for the whole month. It is believed that the first month of spring is wetter compared to winter months. But if you count the 36 millimeters of precipitation that falls in March as a rainy month, then it’s better not to come here. Just kidding, you need to go here. What is 36 millimeters of precipitation? These are two or three heavy downpours that last 3-4 hours. It usually rains in Nha Trang at night, when tourists are in hotels and sleeping. By morning the clouds clear and the sky becomes cloudless.

Reviews from tourists about holidays in Nha Trang in March.
Tourists who vacationed at the resort in March think that this vacation was wonderful. Read their reviews.

Egor.
“It’s not hot in Nha Trang in March. The first time we vacationed here was at the beginning of June, and it was hot here. And in March the weather is just perfect. During the rest period, which was 14 days, it never rained. Clouds were gathering somewhere in the distance, and the wind even picked up a couple of times, but no more. The sun shines all day, occasionally hiding behind the clouds. The sea is warm, the water is such that you don’t want to get out of it.

In March, relaxing here is both great and difficult. It’s difficult because you’re always faced with a choice: relax on the beach or go on excursions? The weather predisposes to both the first and the second. In order not to be tormented by doubts, we divided the day into two parts: from morning until three we were on the beach, and after that we attended excursions.
The holiday turned out to be bright and memorable for a lifetime.”

Kate.
“My mother and I decided to visit Nha Trang and chose the month of March. We rested at the resort for 10 days, and these were better days. The sun shone all day, very rarely it was hidden behind the clouds. The wind blew constantly, but it was a light breeze that brought the smell of the sea and freshness. It rained once, but it was even beneficial, as the water washed down the dust on the roads.
During our vacation we went on excursions three times. They are beautiful here, because Vietnam interesting country. We visited temples, monasteries, were in local villages, saw how crops are grown, how food is made.
This holiday was wonderful, and we are already thinking about flying here again next March.”

Nha Trang in March: what to wear, what to do?
March is a great month for a beach holiday at the resort. Therefore, everyone flies here with one goal - to relax on the beach. Tourists take light things with them, sunglasses and sunburn cream.
March is also suitable for excursions. There is no rain, no heat and you can go on excursions at any time of the day. Absolutely all excursions are popular among tourists. And it’s even difficult to choose just one. There are excursions by sea, to local monasteries, to attractions and to villages. If you have time, it is better to visit everywhere.

At the beginning of March, my sister and I went to Vietnam, Nha Trang. Our young age and lack of knowledge of English prevented us from relaxing on full blast. Manager Farida helped us find a trip. We are grateful to her; she patiently selected a tour for us for several hours. We checked into the IVIS hotel, 24 storeys, with a large hall, a shop, a cafe that serves a seafood buffet at night... 4 elevators, immediate pick-up service, always free... When we didn’t like the room that was offered to us (since there was a lot around construction site), a Russian-speaking receptionist at TNAO, suggested another option on the 21st floor, which suited us; we could see the sea, the city, and the mountains, and there was not much noise to be heard. Our hotel was located on the second line and this was an advantage, since the Vietnamese get up early to loud music, do exercises, and a huge amount of transport begins to drive along the first line... A very decent hotel, clean, they cleaned every day, changed towels, bathroom accessories and brought them every day .033 water per person. A huge restaurant, we took a ticket with breakfast, the cuisine was mainly Vietnamese, the choice was so large that even before the end of the trip we didn’t try everything... But a couple of times arriving late for breakfast, we had no choice, but we didn’t leave hungry. On the third floor under open air the location was very cozy, not large swimming pool with sun loungers, beds with pillows. 7-10 minutes to the sea. At the reception, except for TNAO, no one could explain anything to us, they didn’t even try... they turned away or worked on the computer, it’s a pity there are a lot of our compatriots there, and practically no one knows Russian, so they didn’t give us any water or food for the road... When there was no TNAO could practically not achieve anything... It was possible to explain yourself in English everywhere... The hotel is located in the center, so it was easy to navigate.. Nearby there is a square where all kinds of events took place every day.. and the central market, where you can buy almost everything for a tourist... We also visited the fruit and vegetable market, which was also not far away. We visited huge shopping complexes where you can buy not expensive fruits and vegetables in the supermarket, but good things made from natural silk and cotton in the store... A huge amount of transport, and the lack of traffic lights was annoying at first, but then they got used to crossing the road slowly without turning around, they themselves drove around us.. There is a “PHARMACY” at every step, but they don’t have medicines with chemical composition, there is from everything, but everything is from herbs, we found out that they do not have cancer and cancer centers, we were amazed, because there was such cruel chemical warfare with the Americans... The first days the sea was calm and quiet, but three last days were huge waves, Unfortunately, before this, after the weekend, when the sea was still calm, when we arrived at the beach on Monday, we were horrified, the whole coast was a garbage dump, there was nothing there, even a dead dog was not possible to enter the water... They explained to us that this was so On the weekend, the residents themselves walked. But when on Tuesday morning we came to the sea, everything was cleared and we were greeted by a clean, calm sea... Every day we had dinner in different cafes (there are simply a huge number of them) many cafes arrange a buffet of all kinds of exotic creatures (frogs, crocodiles, snakes, etc. .d) There are many cafes with a Russian menu, there is everything you want, but sometimes you end up with bad cuisine, especially if the cafe belongs to our compatriots... We were given the first SIGHTSEEING tour of NHA TRANG for free. We visited the Weather Long Son Buddhist temple with a statue. Saw a snake and crocodiles show...tried everything famous varieties Vietnamese coffee, visited a pearl factory... The next excursion was WINPERL LAND, this is just a fabulous entertainment complex, we get to it by cable car across the sea, there is a huge water park area, a beach equipped with sun loungers with snow-white sand and a quiet, transparent sea bay. A stunning aquarium, a huge zoo at a height, and an arboretum with unprecedented birds and plants... This place is good to visit with children, there is a lot of entertainment for them... And a fascinating show from musical fountain.. This is a huge territory, it’s impossible to cover everything in a day, after such an excursion, we had to rest for a very long time, we were very tired, age was taking its toll... We bought the excursion from our guide, the prices were about the same as in the travel agency on the street... I wanted to see a lot , but there was little time and we finally decided to go on a two-day excursion to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Having received information about street agents on the Internet, we decided to purchase an excursion at PINEAPPLE, which was closer to our hotel. A young guy from Russia was very polite with us, talkative, and convinced us to go on a comfortable bus rather than by plane, because by plane it is more expensive and you need to get to the airport yourself... (prices, like everywhere else, are not cheaper..) In the evening we arrived at the appointed time, Sasha also met us, wrote us a pink receipt and put us in a GAZELLE with a Vietnamese driver. It was already dark when we were brought to some place, and other Russians were brought to us. When the bus arrived, we got on, the Vietnamese girl looked at our receipt for a long time and then simply kicked us out.. everyone was boarded without any problems.. we were two elderly women, in another country, not knowing who to turn to (no one knew Russian) standing on the street in confusion. street, I tried to call Sasha on the phone he gave us, of course the phone didn’t answer... When the bus started up, the girl shouted to us and gave us two seats at the toilet.. Yes, the bus is really comfortable, two-tier comfortable beds, water, a blanket, but we didn’t have to fall asleep, we were very upset, the noisy Chinese could not calm down for a long time, there were small children nearby who were constantly crying and of course the proximity to the toilet... So the whole trip was second-rate for us, then we found out everything, stuck with the Russians no matter what where they didn’t leave it, they had other receipts at the milestones, besides this there were boarding passes, instructions, everything was written down minute by minute, we didn’t have any of this... We visited the War Museum, Cathedral Notre Damme de Saigon, central post office and lacquer production, Cu Chi tunnels. There was a boat ride on the Mekong River and a junk ride on the Mekong Canal. We visited a factory for making cocoa candies. It was even more difficult to go back, we tearfully asked the Russian language guide not to abandon us and put us on the bus, he did a great job of calling someone and handed us over to some Vietnamese girl, she led us across the city to the bus, only when we got to know each other a little with this famous city. She put us on a bus with Vietnamese people, apparently who were going to work, the journey took a very long time, from the beginning they picked everyone up, then they took everyone somewhere... While we were driving, we weren’t sure if we were going to Nha Trang, no one knew Russian... They brought us in the dark, to some place and showed with their hand that everyone was not going further, it was terrible... Fortunately, there were taxis there, and we lived in the center, they could explain... In general, the trip was terrible, we were nervous, tired, and we didn’t see the city, for two the day is very busy, you need to leave one day for the city, for shopping, for relaxation... We were in Saigon and didn’t see it... it’s a shame. Otherwise everything was fine.

What is he like? Is it possible to swim on it? Is it clean? What kind of sand is on the beach? Is the sea warm, is it possible to swim in Nha Trang in March? These questions concern many tourists who go on vacation to Vietnamese resort Nha Trang :) Today I will try to answer them.

– a very long beach, its length is about 7 km. Despite the fact that we have been in Nha Trang for a week, we only got to the beach once, although we promised ourselves that while we live at the sea, we will swim at least every other day :) We visited the one to the right, south of Lotus (Lotus is the house in the center tourist area of ​​Nha Trang on the embankment, which is built in the shape of a flower) of the city beach. This is what will be discussed in the article.

Local landmark - Lotus in the center of the tourist area
Right side of the city beach

Road to the beach

If you, like us, live in the tourist (European) part of the city, then from any point to the sea it will take no more than 5-7 minutes to walk. We live on the farthest, 3rd line from the sea and still it takes us a few minutes to get to the beach.

To get to the beach you have to cross the road. Those who are in Vietnam for the first time will be shocked by the crazy traffic on the roads. In Nha Trang, the traffic is not as dense as in Ho Chi Minh City (sometimes it seems to us that the city is completely empty now!), but it is still not easy to cross the road. The fact is that the Vietnamese do not allow pedestrians to pass even at pedestrian crossings (unlike Chiang Mai, there, when they saw pedestrians, the Thais slowed down and let us pass). We cross the road very carefully, the main thing is to go slowly so that bikers can go around you. Crossing the road is the hardest part of the way to the beach :) But in Nha Trang you will have to put up with it, basically all the hotels are located across the road from the sea.

The hardest part of the journey to the beach is the road :)

Crossed the road? Great! A magnificent landscape will open before you: palm trees, conifers and a bright turquoise sea in the distance. To the right you can see the entertainment island of Vinpearl. A long cable car leads to it. We'll definitely go!

Coniferous trees, palm trees, and in the distance you can see the sea

Infrastructure of Nha Trang city beach

A magnificent embankment stretches along the entire city beach of Nha Trang (a description of this embankment is worthy of a separate post!). Evenly trimmed trees of bizarre shapes, palm trees, flower beds, green grass, statues, benches - that’s not full list beauty of Nha Trang embankment.

At least for the magnificent embankment it’s worth coming to Nha Trang!

There is a large guarded parking lot near the embankment, the cost of parking a bike is 2000 dong.

Parking cost: it’s not very clear what you have to pay for and how much. But they charge 2000 for a bike

Behind the embankment a wide (about 15-20 meters) strip of sand begins.

Nha Trang has a very wide beach

You can sit on your own mat or towel, no one will mind, unlike some beaches on the island, or you can rent a sun lounger.

You can relax - just sunbathe on the sand
Or rent a sunbed
Nha Trang City Beach

Some sunbeds located immediately to the right of the Lotus (as you look out to sea) belong to hotels, but can be rented for a small fee.

Even if sunbeds belong to hotels, they can be rented for a small fee
There are enough sunbeds and umbrellas on Nha Trang beach for everyone, there are few people, there is a lot of space :)
Nha Trang City Beach
We prefer to lie on sunbeds rather than on the sand

Even further to the right you can sit on sunbeds for 35,000 VND (currently the rate is 1 dollar = 21,500 dong, but for convenience, I divide the price in dong by 20,000 and get the cost in dollars. Since we are now comparing everything with Thailand, I convert the prices into Thai baht, for this I simply multiply by 1 ,5 and remove zeros). Those. 35,000 dong is 1.75 dollars or 52.5 baht.

Here you can buy water, beer, juice, prices are slightly higher than the city average, but not critical. And don’t be surprised that everywhere the inscriptions are in Russian :) This is the custom in Nha Trang :)

Very close, in this round building, there is a toilet and shower. Price 10,000 dong (0.5 dollar). I paid, but I saw that people came in for free... Maybe you just have to pay for the shower?

I'm glad that there are clean toilets and showers on the beach!

Next begins a piece of beach from the famous Louisiana cafe. They say that Louisiana brews delicious beer, and they also praise the local food. We haven’t tried anything in Louisiana yet and I don’t know whether we’ll go there or not, because... prices there are high by Vietnamese standards.

Beach near the Louisiana restaurant: on one side there is a beach area with sun loungers, on the other there is a swimming pool and a restaurant
Restaurant Beach Louisiana

In Louisiana there is a pool, I have a shower and toilet nearby.

Shower - toilet

You can get a massage, manicure, pedicure and much more :)

I haven’t figured out yet about renting sunbeds on the Louisiana beach: either you have to pay for them separately, or you just need to order something at a bar or restaurant and you can use the sunbeds (like on the beach). As soon as I figure it out, I’ll definitely write :)

Next comes a long stretch of beach (Dream Beach) belonging to the central park named after. Gorky (yes, in Nha Trang, like in Moscow, there is a Gorky Park :) - it is very small, and not as huge and beautiful as in Moscow).

On the Dream Beach, you can rent sun loungers in different areas:

• Sunbeds in the VIP area will cost you 100,000 VND ($5)
• Sunbeds in the standard area in 60,000 dong ($3)
• Also in development is an economy zone with sun loungers 30,000 dong (1.5 dollars)

The price includes use of the pool and free WIFI (except for sun loungers in the economy zone). I’ll have to come here sometime with my laptop for the whole day :)

There is a large swimming pool, a bar, a restaurant, I think the prices there are not low.

And most importantly - showers and changing rooms!

This part of the beach has changing rooms and fresh showers

I would say that I liked the infrastructure of the right (southern) part of Nha Trang city beach. The only thing is that it is best to take water and fruit with you, there are no shops nearby, only mini-cafes near the sun loungers and expensive restaurants.

Sand on the beach

The sand on the city beach of Nha Trang is NOT white and NOT small, but yellow and large, interspersed with pieces of pebbles and shells :) This is how it is on our river. If you compare the sand with any beach in Thailand, then most likely the sand is similar to Samui.

This is the sand on the city beach of Nha Trang

Is there shade on Gorda beach?

Shade on Nha Trang city beach after lunch! In the morning the sun shines from the sea, but towards lunchtime the tall palm trees that are planted along the path provide excellent shade. In the morning and afternoon, you can hide from the sun on the alleys of the embankment or under a rented umbrella.

Entrance to the sea

The entrance to the sea on the right side of Nha Trang city beach is NOT flat, almost immediately deep!

Is the sea cold in March in Nha Trang?

Now, in March, the sea in Nha Trang seemed cold to me. Not icy, not like we once had the sea in August in Croatia or in June in Odessa, but not as warm as fresh milk, as we found him in Sihanoukville. But the warmth of the sea is purely my sensations, Lesha said that for him the water is normal, that it can be even colder :)

Is the city beach in Nha Trang clean?

Surprisingly, the city beach in Nha Trang is clean (we are talking about the part of the beach to the right of the Lotus). About 8 years ago, when I was planning my first vacation in Vietnam, I categorically crossed Nha Trang off the list of cities to visit; it seemed to me that the city itself and its beach were very similar to. It turned out that this is not so!

Despite the fact that the beach is located in the city, the beach strip is clean, garbage is constantly removed, swept, sand is raked, etc. After the dirty Ochheuteal beach in Sihanoukville, this is so surprising and pleasant :)

A big role in the cleanliness of this part of the beach is played by the fact that there are no cafes or restaurants on the sand itself, i.e. people hardly eat in the evenings or at night where they then swim and sunbathe :)

But I won’t lie, not all the garbage can be removed, and by evening you can see garbage washed up by the sea on the sand.

There is still some trash on the beach
Despite the fact that the city beach is constantly cleaned, some garbage appears on the sand in the evening

Is it possible to swim in Nha Trang in March?

I would like to advise you not to go on vacation to Nha Trang in winter. From about November to February it rains here, it becomes cool, the sea is so rough that it is impossible to enter it!

In March, a good season already begins in Nha Trang: the weather gets better, the sea calms down, although it becomes very hot.

Despite the fact that in March the sea should already be calm, we found a raging sea! I love watching the waves! And what a breeze and fresh breeze comes from the agitated sea!

Now (March 2015) the sea in Nha Trang is so rough
I didn’t dare to swim...

I also like to swim more, jumping on the waves, rather than swimming on a flat surface. But yesterday on the city beach of Nha Trang the waves were so strong that I did not dare to go into the water. But Lesha bought it, he says that the strength of the waves is not at all as strong as in Tangala in Sri Lanka. Still not here open ocean 🙂

Who didn’t dissuade me from traveling to Nha Trang in March that year! They say it’s raining there, and all kinds of nasty living creatures, and the Vietnamese are intrusive... I’m so glad that I didn’t listen to anyone and flew to March. I have never had a more wonderful holiday. Nha Trang left an amazing impression, a very friendly town :) In general, if you decide to fly there at the beginning of spring, then don’t listen to anyone and feel free to book your tickets - your vacation will be great :)

Weather features

I didn’t expect that the weather would be so great for all 10 days of my vacation :) To be honest, I thought it would rain and even brought a raincoat with me. But I only needed it once, when a tropical downpour began very unexpectedly. Although it took me longer to get this same raincoat than it was raining - it probably ended in about 10 minutes :) The rest of the time there were not even clouds in the sky, not to mention clouds, the summer sun was shining all the time :) And the weather was quite hot . During the day it was always more than 25 degrees Celsius, sometimes it was even plus 30 :) The nights are also very warm and stuffy - the air temperature never dropped below 20 degrees. What I didn’t like was that in Nha Trang it’s very humid air, just incredibly stuffy. I always had the feeling that I was in a sauna, it was so stuffy and sticky. Due to high air humidity, the temperature feels hotter than it actually is. One thing made me happy - in summer the air humidity would be even higher :) Unlike the rains, winds come to Nha Trang quite often in March. And they can be very strong; once even the beach was closed due to wind and high waves. After the wind and the water in the sea is very muddy, for some reason gray. But it was very warm, as it seemed to me, the temperature of the water and air was approximately the same, above 20-22 degrees the water definitely warmed up. I even calmly swam in the morning, although I’m always cold :) In March it gets dark very early, I returned from one excursion around 8 pm, so I walked to the hotel at dusk. And the sunrises in Nha Trang are late; dawn begins around 6 am.

Do not, as I did, take warm and waterproof things. You definitely won’t need the first ones; it’s already hot in March. As for all kinds of raincoats and windbreakers, you may only need them a couple of times. I don’t see the point in carrying them with me; at worst, a raincoat can be bought in almost any store. And if you have heart or breathing problems, then refrain from traveling to Nha Trang - after all high humidity air in combination with high temperature is far from the most best conditions for relaxation :)

March treats

At the beginning of spring in Nha Trang there are a lot of different fruits, fresh and not so fresh :) I won’t talk about the not so fresh ones, I’d rather talk about seasonal delicacies. Already in early March, my favorite mangoes appear on the shelves of local markets. What's cool about them is that even early in the season you almost never get unripe fruit. Personally, I have always bought only juicy, ripe and very sweet mangoes. You can also easily find a fresh harvest of jackfruit almost everywhere - many people mistakenly believe that these are breadfruits. But no, although they are very similar, the fruits are still different :) The most important difference is that the peel of the jackfruit does not smell very tasty. Although...Not durian, and thank you for that :) The peel needs to be peeled off, then you can enjoy the very tasty pulp. And the fruit is also very healthy, by the way :)

And in March, you should definitely have time to buy fresh Vietnamese tangerines, since their season ends at the beginning of spring. And the fresh harvest will only be in the fall. Local tangerines are very sweet, juicy, easy to peel and practically seedless :)

Holiday Events

The most important March event is rightfully considered the Maritime Festival. It has been taking place in Nha Trang for several years. The festival begins on March 4 and lasts a whole week. There will also be folk festivals, and dances with songs, and all sorts of performances, and also very tasty local cuisine. Great emphasis is placed on charity - all sorts of marathons, races and events are held. And at the Maritime Festival, world records are set every year - the same large number They’ll cook soup, then something else :) In general, it’s very cool and fun, many tourists come to Nha Trang purely because of this festival.

Even this year the festival "VietNam" was held, but this is more of a competition for all kinds of creative groups from all over the world. In principle, it is large-scale and very interesting.

Tourist saturation

March is already in full swing tourist season, in May there will be much fewer people as the rainy season is approaching. And at the beginning of spring the weather is very cool, and the festival also increases the number of vacationers. In general, Nha Trang is very noisy and fun in March. All vacationers are very friendly, cheerful, and love to chat. It turns out to be such a big international family:) There are a lot of Thais, Filipinos, Russians, vacationers from the CIS countries. Prices are quite high compared to summer. Although, when compared with Europe, prices in Nha Trang are low all year round:) Plane tickets and hotels need to be booked in advance, sometime in January, otherwise you may not have time :)

Dangerous living creatures

Sharks scared me a lot. They say they swim to the shores of Nha Trang, attack people and blah blah blah. That's all lies. I studied this issue very carefully, about 5 years ago one local fisherman actually caught a shark off the coast of Nha Trang, but to do this he sailed by boat a very decent distance from the shore. And in shallow water there are no sharks.

I was more afraid of jellyfish, there are especially many of them after a storm or rain. Local residents even swim in trousers and T-shirts :) But these jellyfish are non-poisonous and don’t really sting. Sometimes box jellyfish come by and you should be a little wary of them. They are very nimble and sting painfully. The bite seems to be non-poisonous, but the burned surface must be treated with lime juice.

They can also be found in the water sea ​​snakes, but in my opinion, they haven’t attacked people like this for 20 years. Perhaps they have long sailed away from Nha Trang :)

Of the land inhabitants, it is necessary to note all sorts of different snakes. But they practically never appear in the city, but in nature it is quite possible to encounter one of them. There are both poisonous snakes, and absolutely safe.

There are a lot of spiders of all sizes and types. But they also don’t attack people for no reason, the main thing is to avoid them and don’t try to crush them :)

There are also red ants that bite very painfully. But these insects usually come out to hunt for sweets, so don’t scatter sweets and fruits in your room, then there won’t be ants :)

Well, we can’t help but say about the cute geckos that are found almost every step, even in hotels and cafes. It’s just believed that they bring good luck, so the owners are in no hurry to drive them away :) Well, geckos are really very cute animals, you shouldn’t be afraid of them :)

I was afraid of local mosquitoes; some of them carry Dengue fever, so be careful and careful. Try to stock up good means mosquito protection.

The first month of spring in Russia is special. It seems that I got tired of it winter time, but it seems not. It’s still dull and slushy outside, and the thermometer is in no hurry to rise. If you are unbearably tired of the cold, traveling to hot, sunny countries can be an excellent solution. One of them is exotic Vietnam. In this article on the Tour Calendar we will talk about the nuances of a March holiday in its open spaces.

Weather in Vietnam in March

You will probably agree that in many ways the quality of your vacation depends not only on the chosen tourist destination, but also from the prevailing weather. The climate of Vietnam is determined by its impressive meridional elongation and diversity of landscapes. His characteristic feature- impressive contrasts. When in the south everyone is sweltering from the heat and occupying the beaches, in the north people can wrap themselves in windbreakers and hope for early warming. But March is one of those months when the temperature imbalance between different regions noticeably evens out. The air throughout the country is warming up more and more every day. In general, spring is the period when the intensity environment begins to gain momentum to reach its apogee by the summer. In many provinces this is the height of the dry season, so it is not burdened by the oppressive stuffiness and increased level humidity, which is the best option for Europeans. As a rule, the weather forecast for Vietnam is compiled in accordance with its conditional division into three geographical zones: northern, central and southern. So, in the northern mainland in the first two weeks of March it can be quite chilly, but closer to the third decade the need for jackets and sweaters disappears by itself. The capital generously welcomes +23..+24°C during the day; in the evenings, there is a need for a paita or a long-sleeved jacket, since after sunset only +18..+19°C are recorded. In addition, with the onset of darkness, the winds often intensify, which, as is known, significantly distort the sensation of heat. Rains can either be completely absent or rain for 9-10 days throughout the month, which is absolutely nothing for the tropics, considering that they fall mainly under the cover of night. Most of the time it is dry and partly cloudy. In Ha Long Bay and Cat Ba Island, the number of foreign visitors is gradually increasing. It is less damp here, and during the day +22..+23°C is recorded, which is quite enough for comfortable participation in excursions.

Hanoi Nha Trang Phu Quoc Phan Thiet Ho Chi Minh City Hue

True, sometimes in the mornings there is an impenetrable fog, and the evenings are still fresh like spring - about +17°C. Moving closer to the central regions, you will notice that the weather is more different bright sun and, as a result, more high temperatures. Throughout the 30 days they change in the range of +25..+30°C (to last numbers However, they crawl over 30), which makes for a good time, not overshadowed by the sticky heat that tourists staying in the southern provinces face. That is why at this time hotels in Da Nang and Hoi An are recommended primarily for elderly people and those who suffer from pressure changes or problems in functioning cardiovascular system. You won’t have to freeze in the evenings - +21..+22°C, so it’s not advisable to overload your suitcase with warm things. The umbrella is also in question, since the number of days marked with precipitation does not exceed seven. In the south, a slightly different meteorological picture emerges. At the beginning of the month it is still very pleasant here, but in the second half the intense heat takes over, drying out most of the lush vegetation. However, the hotel areas always delight the eye with lush greenery and luxurious flower beds. Be that as it may, during this period, southern resorts break all records for attendance. The “hottest” among them are Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau and Phan Thiet with midday +33..+34°C and evening +23..+24°C. There are practically no showers - a maximum of 4-5 days. On the islands of Phu Quoc and Con Dao, the humidity is slightly higher, and the temperatures, on the contrary, are slightly more moderate: +31..+32°C. Those who prefer the “golden mean” should go to Nha Trang or Mui Ne, where from +22°C to +29..+30°C. The latter, by the way, maintains an excellent wind situation, conducive to windsurfing and kiting. Already in April the waves will leave the coast, so fans of these sports should hurry up. Clear days many times prevail over cloudy ones, so here too we see no reason to worry about precipitation.

What to do in Vietnam in March?

Thanks to the amazing weather that pleases almost all regions of Vietnam, March tours open to their participants limitless possibilities for an unforgettable holiday. The potential of this amazing South Asian state is truly enormous. And every year everyone becomes convinced of this more people. The thousand-year history of this great land is immortalized in monumental buildings, ancient pagodas and numerous monuments, so fans of an intense excursion will find a vast field of activities. Fortunately, the trip has not yet been complicated by heavy rains. Natural beauty national parks and virgin corners (and there are plenty of them here) will certainly attract romantics and naturalists. And avid shopaholics will not be able to pass by souvenir shops, supermarkets and shops.

Beach holiday

Tourists may have completely different interests, but under the Vietnamese sky they are all united by their love for gorgeous beaches. For many who discover this country for the first time, the fact that it has an amazing multi-kilometer coastal strip, equipped no worse than in the world's elite resorts, becomes a real discovery. Getting an even chocolate tan and splashing in the waters shimmering with all shades of azure and turquoise is considered the sacred duty of everyone who is lucky enough to be here. In March, trips to Northern Vietnam are not in great demand due to the fact that there is scanty sunshine and the water only heats up to +22°C. So Ha Long is attractive solely from the point of view of its extremely beautiful landscapes. Another thing - “Vietnamese Hawaii” - segment coastline, covering parts of the central and southern provinces.

Temperatures in Da Nang and Hoi An sea ​​water reaches +24..+25°C. The first one is famous for its underwater natural “attractions”, so the attention of divers is primarily focused on it. And the second is known for the fact that many outstanding attractions are concentrated near it. For those who hate the heat best place you can’t find any place to take solar-water procedures. The South specializes exclusively in beach activities. Phan Thiet, Phu Quoc (note: spectacular diving), Nha Trang - they are all quite well maintained and have developed infrastructure. We recommend Mui Ne to tamers of obstinate waves.

The winds blow steadily from 11 am until sunset, so there will be plenty of time to practice various techniques.

Entertainment and excursions

The question of what to see in Vietnam, in terms of absurdity, is comparable to such questions as “what to see in the Vatican” or “where to go in Moscow except Tretyakov Gallery" There are so many “must-sees” in this country that they cannot fit even in the most voluminous guidebook. In absolutely every region you can find a lot of interesting things. So, regardless of the area of ​​your stay, exciting leisure time is guaranteed. Each city and each locality has its own unique spirit and its own face, which cannot be confused with any other.

Da Nang captivates with the majestic Marble Mountains and mysterious cave temples. Framed on all sides by endless sand dunes, Phan Thiet captivates with the wonders of nature and traces of civilizations that disappeared under mysterious conditions. By the way, it is very popular among golf fans: its pride is the prestigious Ocean Dunes club with 18 holes and 72 routes. The secret to the charm of high mountain Dalat lies in sparkling waterfalls, mirror lakes, blooming gardens and dense coniferous forests. Tourists love to walk through its French Quarter, in the center of which stands a miniature copy of the Eiffel Tower. Vietnam also has extensive clothing markets, mouth-watering seafood, healing hot springs and affordable spa programs. In general, everyone will find entertainment to suit their taste and budget.

Holidays and festivals

In March, the calendar of holiday events is full. Kwang Nam Province welcomes the grandiose Whale Festival, which opens with the ceremonial launching of a decorated boat. Da Nang hosts the Kwan Festival, which is celebrated with an exhibition of arts and crafts and performances by folk ensembles. Koh Loa Pagoda is 20 km away. from Hanoi (from the 10th to the 12th of the 3rd lunar month) organizes a three-day religious celebration in honor of the just ruler, canonized after his death. In some years on March (9th day of the 4th month after lunar calendar) the Giong festival, celebrated in a number of northern cities, is imbued with the spirit of patriotism and pride in its cultural heritage.

I would also like to highlight the Thai Pagoda Festival held in Thuk. And this is not a complete list of all expected events.
