Nha Trang

Vietnam's most popular beach destination, Nha Trang is the capital of Khanh Hoa province, in the south of Vietnam and sits in a spectacular setting, surrounded by paddy fields which eventually yield to a semi circle of mountains that loom over this bustling coastal centre. 

The beach is perfect for a few days relaxation, where the sand stretches along the bay for 6km and for most of the year the sea is a brilliant turquoise colour. 

The city also has arguably the best nightlife in Vietnam outside of Saigon. 

Diving here is also meant to be the best in Vietnam, with great visibility and marine life that includes Reef Sharks and Stingrays. 

Other attractions in the surrounding area include the Ba Ho waterfalls, the mineral mud baths, the Cham Tower and Long Son Pagoda.
