Things to see and do
Cycling is a relatively easy and cheap way to get around – visitors can rent a bicycle for around 50,000 dong (less than US$2.5) for one day, but don’t expect a kitted-out bicycle. For those with adventurous stomachs and a taste for exotic food, be sure to check out local holes-in-the-wall for some of Nha Trang’s famous local dishes, such as bun ca (fish cake soup), nem nuong (roasted pork skew), and goi ca (fish salad).
As for popular attractions, besides Nha Trang beach, visitors should also drop by the ancient Po Nagar temple complex, which houses the Cham Towers that are still actively used for worship; the eye-catching Long Son Pagoda with its huge white Buddha statue seated on a lotus blossom; and the Nha Trang cathedral, which provides a stark contrast to surrounding buildings with its French Gothic style.
Besides historical and cultural sites, there are also interesting museums to check out, such as the Alexandre Yersin Museum, which has Yersin’s library and laboratory equipment on display; as well as the National Oceanographic Museum, which has jars upon jars of preserved marine specimens and other nautical paraphernalia.
When the sun goes down, Nha Trang transforms into a vibrant city teeming with night-time venues and activities, complete with lively music and creative cocktails, especially along Tran Phu street itself. And no trip to Nha Trang would be complete without a stroll through its bustling night market to sample street food and browse souvenir shops – it’s located just down the road from the hotel on a pedestrian-only street just before Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street.
If you wish to explore further on, but don’t know where to start, be sure to seek the advice of the hotel’s attentive and knowledgeable concierge team, who will be more than happy to recommend must-see sights and attractions, such as the fishing village of Hon Ro (about 5 kilometers out from the city center) and the healthful mineral and mud baths of Thap Ba Hot Springs.
