Things to do in Nha Trang
Quick answer
The beach itself, the four-island boat trip, VinWonders on Hon Tre, a mud bath at I-Resort or Thap Ba, the Po Nagar towers, Long Son pagoda, and Dam Market. That is the classic two days. Doc Let, Ba Ho and Da Lat are the day trips.
Every place here was visited by the research pass in the only way a website can: through its own published fees, hours and coordinates, with the source shown. Closest to the beachfront first.

Questions people ask
What is Nha Trang known for?
The six-kilometre city beach, the islands in the bay, VinWonders on Hon Tre, hot mineral mud baths, the Po Nagar Cham towers, and seafood. It is also Vietnam's main diving centre, though the reef at Hon Mun has had closures.
Is two days enough in Nha Trang?
Two full days covers the beach, the towers and the pagoda, one island boat trip and a mud bath. VinWonders wants most of a day on its own, and anything north of the city is a third day.
Can you do a day trip to Da Lat from Nha Trang?
Yes, but it is a long one: about 135 km and three to four hours each way over the mountain road. Most people stay a night. The buses and the private-car prices are on the bus page.
