General information, holidays in Nha Trang

Nha Trang is the capital city of Khanh Hoa province in central Vietnam (Nha Trang on the interactive map of Vietnam). Beaches of Nhatrang are washed by the South China Sea. This is a fairly large city by Vietnamese standards, the seventh most populous in the country (about 400,000 people).

Many disputes arise in connection with the correct pronunciation and spelling of the name of the city. On the Internet you can find variants of writing Nhatrang, Nha Trang, Nyatrang, Nyachang , etc. None of them exactly reproduces the correct Vietnamese pronunciation. However, historically, it was customary to write and pronounce the name of the resort in Russian as Nha Trang, and in this form the name got into dictionaries and encyclopedias. We will adhere to the writing adopted in Russian, i.e. Nha Trang, although you should keep in mind that various internet systems (for example, hotel search, Flight Search) may use other spellings.

So, Nha Trang is the most popular beach resort in Vietnam. Known among tourists all over the world, and no less popular among residents Vietnam, who often spend their holidays and weekends here. This is one of the oldest resorts in the country, became popular during the time of the emperors and when Vietnam was a French colony.

Here in order to combine a good beach holiday (the length of the beaches is more than 6 kilometers) with a visit to a large number of restaurants, bars, cafes, nightclubs, discos, massage parlors and beauty salons. There are several diving centers, there are healing springs and mud. Snorkeling, surfing, diving and other water sports can be enjoyed on the nearby small islands. The nearby island of Hon Tre is connected to the resort by the longest cable car, and on the island itself, in addition to hotels and beaches, you can have a good time in the VinWonders (Vinpearl) entertainment park for children and adults, as well as at a night disco inside an artificial mountain.

Night life in Nha Trang is not very developed. Although there is a sufficient number of cafes and restaurants working late, already at 11 pm the city falls asleep. The abundance of modern discos and a large number of adult entertainment is not to be found here. But where there is demand, there is supply. And now in Nha Trang to find a companion for the night or even for the whole vacation will not be difficult. Priestesses of love are easy to find in the tourist area right on the street, and, in fact, you do not have to look, they themselves will find a man or a group of men walking alone.

Nha Trang weather, tourist seasons

The weather in Nha Trang is excellent almost all year, the holiday season lasts all year round, although it is divided into low and high. It is hot and sunny all year round, and the temperature rarely drops below 22 degrees even at night. The maximum temperature reaches 37 degrees, and the minimum-10 degrees at night,but is extremely rare. The coldest months are January and February, the hottest from May to August.

• Low season (rainy season) lasts from mid-October to mid-December. It's the time of the rainy season. In November, the rainiest month, an average of 363 millimeters of precipitation falls, which is 20 times more than in the least rainy February. But, what is good, the rains during this period are torrential, but short-lived, and therefore after an intense rain, the sky quickly becomes clear and Sunny, and you can sunbathe again. Strong winds in the low season create large waves, so sometimes it is difficult and dangerous to go into the sea, but this is the time of surfers. Very rarely, but in the rainy season there are hurricanes and typhoons. But there is a silver lining, and prices for all tourist services in the low season fall significantly. The most unfavorable months are usually November and December, so if you want to get guaranteed good weather, it's best not to go to Nha Trang at this time.

• High season (dry season) and the ideal time for a beach holiday falls between January and August. This is the so-called dry season. At this time there is almost no rain. When planning a trip here during this period, it is best to take care of booking hotels, tickets or buying a tour in advance. But keep in mind that January and February are the coldest months, and during rainy weather or at night during these months, temperatures can drop below 20 degrees.

  Separately, it is worth dwelling on the so-called "the season of storms", which usually takes place from November to mid-February. It coincides with the rainy season, and captures part of the high season. At this time, due to the constantly blowing wind, large waves form on the sea, making the Sea little suitable for swimming, diving and snorkeling. Although for a beach holiday on the shore this does not create big problems.

Nha Trang beach prices

Night clubs. Nightclubs can be found at the hotels "Yasaka Saigon", "Nha Trang Lodge", "Michelia", as well as on the central streets, for example, "Red Apple Club", "Why Not Bar". Very popular "Nha trang Sailing Club", located on the beach just 200 meters from the tourist area.

Food, where to eat. The most expensive food in cafes and restaurants along the beach, but it is worth a little to go to the next street, and better in a small alley, where there are few tourists, and prices will immediately "fall" several times.

Sun loungers and entertainment on the beach. On Nha Trang beaches you can find traditional water activities (see prices in the photo) and sun loungers. The cost of renting a chaise longue is 40,000 VND (see currency of Vietnam, exchange rate), but you can bargain.

Shopping in Nha Trang. If you need to make small daily purchases in Nha Trang, then most of the small supermarkets with fixed prices indicated on the price tags can be found in the tourist quarter. Outside the tourist quarter, such supermarkets are difficult to find, where trade is mainly represented in markets or in small shops without price tags on goods. However, large shopping centers are already outside the tourist area. These are, for example, shopping centers: MAXIMARK (near the railway station of Nha Trang); Nhatrang Center (located in the city center on the Waterfront); Metro (located far outside the city in the West). Fruits or handicrafts as souvenirs can be bought at local markets, which can be found everywhere. Of particular interest is the large chodam City Market where almost anything can be found. A good night market is open in the evenings in the south of the tourist area next to the Lotus Tower. You can see the location of shopping centers and markets on our interactive map of Nhatrang.

Diving in Nha Trang. Diving is very common, especially near the numerous islands located off the coast of Nha Trang. Recently, the number of dive centers has increased, some of the famous ones are: Rainbow Divers, Coco Dive Center, Scuba Diving center, Angel Dive, Sailing Club Divers. Some of them, such as Amigos Divers and Fun Divers, have Russian-speaking instructors. The most successful time for diving is the period from March to September, when the water becomes clearer and more transparent at the end of the rainy season.

Snorkeling in Nha Trang. The underwater world of Vietnam is not as diverse as on the Red Sea, but for those who like to dive with a mask and fins, the best place for snorkeling is the islands. Especially a lot of animals and corals can be seen at the island of Hong Moon. There is nothing to see in the coastal waters near the city.
