Questions people ask
Is there a city bus in Nha Trang?
Yes, a small network on fixed fares. The routes worth knowing are the airport bus, the bus to the Vinpearl harbour and the bus along the beachfront, all listed on this page.
How much is a Grab bike in Nha Trang?
A short hop across town is around a dollar. Grab and Xanh SM both run motorbike taxis, and they are the cheapest way to move around the city.
Can you walk along Nha Trang beach?
The whole length: about six kilometres of promenade with parks, sculptures and beach cafes. It is the best walk in the city and the easiest way between the northern and southern hotels.
