Nha Trang
Nha Trang is situated on a beautiful coastline with a long white sandy beach framed by a picturesque backdrop of mountains. The sea, with its coral reefs, palm trees and pine trees along the coast, is the centre of Nha Trang. Numerous restaurants and cafés line the beach promenade, inviting visitors to linger and relax.
Destination Nha Trang
Nha Trang is Vietnam's most famous seaside resort. Things are much livelier here than in beach resorts such as Mui Ne or Phu Quoc. The small town is also Vietnam's diving centre. So if you are looking for peace and relaxation, you should avoid Nha Trang.
For party lovers, there is a lively nightlife until the early hours of the morning. The long sandy beach is separated from the town by a large road. There are marked sections for swimmers where you won't be disturbed by boats or jet skis.

Experience lively Nha Trang
Nha Trang's first traces of human settlers date back to the Cham Empire, when there were little more than small fishing villages in the area under Vietnamese rule. The French discovered the beautiful bay with its small islands and white sandy beaches for themselves and turned Nha Trang into a perfect seaside resort.
Near Nha Trang there are three spas with hot mineral mud baths, whirlpools and even waterfalls. The most attractive spa is the I Resort. The setting with views of the distant mountains is particularly beautiful. The I Resort is located about 7km northwest of the centre.

Po Nagar Cham Towers
The Po Nagar Cham Towers in Vietnam are an impressive example of Cham architecture, built between the 7th and 12th centuries.

A visit to the towers is a must for any traveller who wants to learn about Vietnam's rich history and culture.
Long Son Pagoda
The Long Son Pagoda is a peaceful oasis with breathtaking views of the city and surrounding countryside.
