Getting There

Vietnam Airlines are the only airline flying direct from the UK to Vietnam, with flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The closest airport to Nha Trang is Cam Ranh International Airport (around an hour from Nha Trang) which has connections from most Vietnamese Airports.

Many people will get to Nha Trang by train with Thai Nguyen sitting on the main North – South Railway. We have more information on the Reunification Express which runs on this line and connects Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang.

There are also a number of buses that connect Nha Trang with Ho Chi Ming City, Da Nang and Hoi An.

Getting Around

Nha Trang is people friendly and most places within the city can be walked easily, although the heat will put some off.

Bicycle- There are plenty of bike rental shops and many hotels also have bikes to rent or even loan.

Bus – A good option for getting around locally with a number of bus routes and many of the main tourist attractions covered.

Taxi – Most drivers will speak at least some English and are available throughout the city. Meters are in use.

Cyclo – Mostly found in tourist areas, these three wheeled cycles can be a fun way to get around town but be careful to agree a price in advance.

Xe Om (motorcycle taxi) – You will find them all around town. Make sure you agree a fare in advance and you must always wear a helmet.
