Nha Trang – a snapshot

The coastal city of Nha Trang is a popular tourist resort. Tourists flock to the area to bask in the glorious sun and enjoy a range of activities. Blessed with pristine beaches and sparkling water, Nha Trang is a beach lover’s paradise.

The water’s fantastic visibility allows scuba divers to experience an equally captivating underwater world. The area receives a mix of visitors, including backpackers. Nha Trang is dominated by resort-style accommodation; however, budget options are also available.

Tran Phu Street, otherwise know as the Pacific Coast Highway of Vietnam’, is the town’s most beautiful street, while Hon Tre Island is home to one of the area’s most exclusive resorts.

Nha Trang offers its visitors an exhaustive list of activities, most of which are water based. Scuba diving, snorkelling and island hopping are among the favourites. The area often welcomes luxury cruise passengers, and is also a stopover for those attending the annual yacht races in Hong Kong.

Visitors can try some of the country’s best seafood in Nha Trang, as well as bird’s nest soup. The nests are collected from around the island and also in the town centre. This soup is considered one of the best in Vietnam.

Nha Trang isn’t party central, but there are areas were the candle burns into the wee hours. Biet Thu is the main tourist district and is the best bet for nocturnal activities.
