Wanderlust has listed Vietnam among top 21 best places around the world to visit in January.

These are the best destinations voted by Wanderlust for any needs, whether it is a short break or looking to spend the entire month deep diving into a new destination.

According to Wanderlust, the weather in Vietnam is similarly pleasant, dry and sunny in January. Crowds have yet to arrive post-Christmas so visitors can get the chance to experience this uber-popular country in relative peace, noted the magazine.

Wanderlust suggests that visitors spend more time to experience the whole country. Visitors will never get bored of Vietnam's varied cities such as Hoi An, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Hue, the perfect city for cycling enthusiasts, added the magazine.

Natural beauty is around every corner in Vietnam, too. Visitors can admire the world's largest cave system, Son Doong. In addition to Ha Long Bay, the lesser-known Lan Ha Bay is also attractive and accessible from Cat Ba Island. Tourists can seek out the rare golden-haired langur in Cat Ba National Park.

In addition to Vietnam, Wanderlust also listed other ideal destinations in January including Norway, Malé (The Maldives), Los Angeles (the US), Slovenia, Barbados, Laos and The Mekong River, Nicaragua-Honduras-El Salvador, Hill Country (Sri Lanka), Panama, penguin chicks in Antarctica, macaws in Tambopata (Peru), birdwatching in the UK, Eurasian lynxes in Poland, wildebeest in Tanzania, the International Kite Festival in Gujarat (India), Up Helly Aa in Lerwick (Scotland), Kiruna Snow Festival in Sweden, New Year's Eve in Sydney (Australia), and the Sundance Film Festival in Utah (the US).
