10 reasons why you should travel to
Nhatrang, Vietnam. If you wanna spend gorgeous days on the beach, think of Nha Trang . Vietnam’s most popular beach destination, Nha Trang, the capital of Khanh Hoa province, is located on the south central coast of Vietnam, just over 400 kilometers northeast of
Ho Chi Minh City. A train journey of as little as 7 hours or 45 minutes by plane delivers travelers to the best BEACH city. Here are 13 reasons why you should seriously consider paying Nha Trang a visit:
1. Endless Beaches
The downtown core stretches along six kilometers of palm-fringed white sand and the brilliant turquoise waters of Nha Trang Bay – and it’s all free. This is where you get the best sun tan, enjoy the splashing waves, make awesome videos and photos, and smile with friendly people around in swimsuits.

2. Various food options
The pay-by-weight fresh seafood is a must try in Nha Trang, as are some of the delicious local eats found outside of the tourist area. Between streetside eateries, restaurants, and upmarket hotels, there’s no chance of going hungry in Nha Trang. For more in-depth explorations of the city’s dining options, eat with the locals or splurge on five-star buffets at the hotels or international restaurants along the strip. You can try a local specialty - bun ca, a simple noodle soup with rice vermicelli, fish broth and fish paste meatballs.
There are convenience stores and minimarts on every block for all your self-catering needs including milk, cheese, bread, instant noodles and booze. Also, delicious cheap beer!

3. Great range of accommodation
Nha Trang does give visitors many different options for accommodation. You can choose an international five-star, a backpacker hostel or something in between. The downtown core is where you will find the greatest concentration and range of accommodation, from $6 hostels and the ubiquitous skinny local hotels to international chain behemoths that occupy prime real estate along the coast. Staying downtown usually means a short walk to the beach. Furnished serviced apartments are on the rise; they can be booked whether you want to stay a few days or a few months, and they are great for families or those who like home-type comforts.
TIP: Families travelling with children can book luxury villas with easy access to Vinpearl Land's amusement and water park, at Vinpearl Resort and Spa Nha Trang Bay. One package will be considered much cheaper than taking the services separately.
4. Plentiful transport options
