Everything you need to pack for a comfortable and prepared journey
Know Before You Pack
Vietnam stretches over 1,600 km from north to south, spanning several climate zones. What you pack depends heavily on where and when you're travelling.
Cool winters (Oct–Mar) can drop to 10°C in Hanoi and near freezing in Sapa. Summers are hot and humid with heavy rain. Pack layers, a warm jacket for winter, and rain gear year-round.
Typhoon season runs Sep–Dec with heavy rainfall. The dry season (Feb–Aug) is hot and sunny. Pack waterproof clothing and sturdy shoes, especially during the wet season.
Tropical climate year-round with temperatures of 25–35°C. The wet season (May–Nov) brings afternoon downpours. Pack light, breathable fabrics and a compact rain jacket.
Vietnam's climate demands versatile, lightweight clothing. Here are the essentials that work across all regions:
Vietnam uses a mix of plug types — Type A (two flat pins), Type C (two round pins), and Type F (two round pins with grounding). The voltage is 220V at 50Hz.
Bring a universal travel adapter with USB ports. Most modern hotels have USB charging built into bedside outlets, but budget accommodation may not. A portable power bank (10,000mAh+) is invaluable for long travel days.
Pharmacies are common in Vietnam's cities, but availability varies in rural areas. Pack these essentials from home:
