In 2024, the Lunar New Year falls on Saturday, February 10th, marking the Year of the Dragon! The Vietnamese Spring Festival spans three days, including the day before New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.
Tet, Vietnam's grand festival, extends for several weeks, from the Kitchen God Festival on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month to the third day of the following first lunar month.
What does this mean for Australian travellers?
As it's a public holiday, you might notice an increase in accommodation prices. This could also apply to your Vietnam tour. Nevertheless, Vietnam usually offers good value for money, and the impact on your budget should be minimal if you are going on a tour to Vietnam.
We suggest celebrating in the following cities during these public holidays, as they host the majority of the attractions:
Ho Chi Minh City
Ha Noi
Hoi An
Da Nang
