Ho Chi Minh City in February
The sweet spot for Ho Chi Minh City
The short answer
February is the best month to visit Ho Chi Minh City.
February is the driest month of the year, with very little rainfall, low humidity and plenty of sunshine. Tet can make the city significantly busier and can push travel demand higher around the holiday period.
