Nha Trang
South-Central Coast, Vietnam
5.0
Overview
Nha Trang is Vietnam's most popular beach city, set along a sweeping 6 km crescent bay lined with high-rises. It is a mix of beach resort town and backpacker party hub, with boozy island-hopping boat trips, budget diving, and a lively nightlife strip. While it has become quite developed and touristy, it remains a key stop on the north-south backpacker trail and a convenient transit point between [[Da-Nang-Hoi-An]] and [[Da-Lat]] or [[Ho-Chi-Minh-City]].
