🇻🇳 Holidays in Vietnam
Vietnam's festival year revolves around the lunisolar calendar, crowned by Tết Nguyên Đán — the Lunar New Year — when the whole country returns home to family. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with lanterns and mooncakes, is beloved by children, while global holidays like Christmas light up the big cities.

Travel tips
During Tết (late January to mid-February), most shops and restaurants close for several days and transport sells out weeks ahead. It is a magical but logistically challenging time to visit.
