Dalat is quite different from anywhere else in Vietnam; it's often compared to the French Alps in springtime. This was certainly how the former colonists treated it – escaping to their chalets to enjoy the cooler climate. The City of Eternal Spring, Dalat’s temperature hovers between a pleasant 15°C to 24°C (average daily minimum and maximum). Despite the mild temperatures, by the end of the dry season (December to March), the lush green surroundings turn brown. Even in the wet season (April to November), mornings normally remain dry – allowing time for sightseeing before the rain begins.
