How to get from Dalat to Nha Trang

Nha Trang is a high-rise resort town in southeast Vietnam. Its sandy coast is regarded as one of the most beautiful bays in the world – thanks to its crescent-shaped white sand beach and clear turquoise waters.

Also known as the seafood capital of Vietnam, Nha Trang is bustling with many offerings – from dining choices to pagodas and sculpture gardens as well as a very vibrant nightlife. But if those are not enough, you can always visit the many islands nearby via boat or by cable car.

The best time to visit Nha Trang is from March to September.
