Nha Trang

Home to some of the most beautiful bays in the world, Nha Trang, on the coast of southern central Vietnam, is a popular beach resort city. While the fine powdery white crescent beach is a highlight of the shoreline, regular makeovers have produced parks, sculpture gardens, bright promenades, and beachside luxury resorts. Activities such as sailboating, kiteboarding, and scuba diving are quite popular all year due to the excellent weather – it has more days of sunshine per year than any place in Vietnam.

Nha Trang is equally popular among backpackers and splurgers alike. The streets near and along the shorelines are home to small boutiques, spas, and cocktail bars. This small beach town is the seafood capital of Vietnam and rightly so. Small diners and street food stalls serve some of the best seafood in Vietnam, with the Pulled Pork Summer Rolls being an all-time favorite. At night, the residents and tourists begin partying loudly on the street bars and clubs late into the night.

For those looking for a more mellow and laidback experience, the various spas and mud baths are their perfect calling. Further inland in the city, the Cham Towers, Pagodas, and Museums also offer a fantastic, easy-going experience for tourists.
