Nha Trang ... excellent scuba diving and is fast becoming a popular destination for international tourists, attracting large numbers of backpackers on the Southeast Asia circuit. It is already very popular with Vietnamese tourists. Nha Trang Bay is amongst the world's most beautiful bays. Historically, the city was known as Kauthara under the Champa. Nha Trang is renowned for its seafood. Lying off Nha Trang is Bamboo Island, operated by the Sofitel Vinpearl Group. There is now a chair lift linking the mainland to the 5 star resort and theme park on Bamboo Island. Flights to Nha Trang no longer use the city's airport, but fly into Cam Ranh airport (approx. 50 kilometers south).

Unfortunately when I was there, the sea tended to be quite wavey (for want of a better word!) and it wasn't particularly tempting so I stuck to reading a book on the beach, relaxing. Lots of people will come up to you and try to sell you stuff- if you don't ... more

Nha Trang: Beautiful coastal town, well worth a visit (794 words)

My time in Vietnam was running out and there was one more place I wanted to visit: Nha Trang. From what the internet and my Lonely Planet were telling me, it seemed like a pretty fun coastal town with plenty of things to do. As the bus journey from Ho Chi Minh City takes around 10 hours, I decided to take the sleeper bus overnight. This was a pretty good decision, as I know it would have been hard to hack such a long journey sitting upright! The beds weren't exactly comfortable though- maybe if you're a tiny Asian, but not if you're an overweight Westerner struggling to keep everything from dangling off the side like I was! I recommend asking fellow ... Read the complete review

Nha Trang, nice beaches but terrible town (490 words)

Nha Trang is located on the south central Vietnam coast and is one of the country's largest and best known beach resorts-for foreign and domestic tourists alike. However, whilst the beaches are still beautiful strips of white sand unfortunately the town has given into large scale development and can feel like any other international beach resort with high rises running along the coastal front. Reaching Nha Trang is simple with a domestic airport serving locations across Vietnam. Taxis are around 250,000 dong into the town centre and a bus also runs. The city is also a main stop on Vietnam's railway line running from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh. Buses connect the ... Read the complete review

I went to Nha Trang feeling a little bit out of the ordinary as I am half-American and have a very broad American accent. However, I had nothing to fear. As I was flying over Nha Trang looking out of the window I saw some of the most beautiful sites, that I think I will ever see in my life. Nha Trang is located on the coast of Vietnam and has a number of small islands surrounding it. These are alive with trees, and animals of all kinds. Hotels: The Hotels in Nha Trang vary from what you are looking for. If you want something that is very cheap and some where just to sleep then you can get rooms for 2 dollars a night, sorry but most things are paid ... Read the complete review

North of Ho Chi Minh, on the coast, lies the beautiful town of Nha Trang, which is well worth spending a few days in if you are visiting this amazing country. Arriving by train is probably the most comfortable means of getting there, but if you are coming from Hanoi it is more likely that you will be arriving at around 3am (the train from Ho Chi Minh arrives during the day). If you have the money then flying there is also an option. It is about 11 hours in a minibus from Ho Chi Minh. We arrived on the Hanoi train (a 30 hour journey) and rather than follow the touts around town in the middle of the night, decided to sit around the station until day break at ...
