Vietnam Festival Guides
Tet, Vietnam's Lunar New Year, shuts cities down for up to two weeks every January or February - if your trip overlaps, expect closed restaurants and trains packed with people heading home. The Hue Festival runs in even-numbered years: street theatre, imperial court performances, and the citadel fully lit at night. The Hoi An Lantern Festival happens every full moon. We cover timing, costs, and what actually differs between tourist spectacle and the real thing.
