I am planning to visit Vietnam in the next days. I know several parts are still flooded, my questions is in how far this affects tourists? Is it safe to come? Are busses still running?

Thank you for your email and for considering a visit to Vietnam in the coming days. As of March 2025, there are some areas in Vietnam that may experience localized flooding due to seasonal rains. The Mekong Delta, historically known for flooding during the rainy season, is one such area. However, if you choose to explore Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, the weather conditions are generally manageable and should not pose any significant issues for travelers. You can find current weather information for Ho Chi Minh City here.

Many travelers continue to visit Vietnam and participate in tours around the Mekong Delta. For added safety and a well-organized experience, it is recommended to book your tours through a reputable travel agency. Experiencing a floating market is a highlight of the Mekong Delta culture that you surely should not miss.

Additionally, this time of year can see an increase in storms in central Vietnam, leading to cooler weather that many travelers find pleasant. If your plans are focused on staying in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, you can expect generally calm weather that will not disrupt your travel plans.

Travel by bus remains reliable, with operations largely unaffected by seasonal rain. For updates and insights on current events and weather conditions, be sure to check our News and Events section. Our VNO Weekly articles will keep you informed with regular updates.

I hope you find this information useful and have a wonderful trip to Vietnam!
