Perfect Weekend Itinerary for Nha Trang
Saturday
Explore Coastal Culture

On your first morning, wake up early and rent a motorbike to visit the Ponagar Tower to learn about the history and culture of the local people. This brick architectural marvel is a relic of the Cham people who once inhabited this land. From the Cham towers, you'll be able to admire the bridges and river mouths adorned with dozens of colorful fishing boats.


From the Cham towers, head straight to the Vietnam Oceanographic Institute to learn more about the underwater world and the origins of aquaculture and fishing in Nha Trang. Then, recharge with refreshing drinks in the unique space of Jungle Coffee, promising you some 'cool' and stylish photo spots.



Lunch in the Countryside
When visiting Nha Trang, you can't miss out on the enticing local cuisine. On Saturday afternoon, head to Old Nha Trang, a restaurant steeped in tradition for a meal. Just a few minutes away, you'll step into a new land with cool lotus ponds and wooden tables.


The restaurant kitchen prepares amazing dishes in the style of Vietnamese rural family cooking. Take your time to enjoy the scenery and savor crispy tofu, soft spring rolls, fragrant fried rice, or indulge in traditional banh xeo with fresh vegetables...


Enjoy the Evening Sea Breeze
Joining a dinner party in Nha Trang is a wonderful experience. Just before sunset, take the elevator up to Skylight Nha Trang – the rooftop bar on Vietnam's first beach. While admiring the breathtaking nature, raise a glass with friends to a refreshing cocktail. Skylight's menu is perfect for the seaside party atmosphere.



Sunday
Explore Nha Trang's Island Paradise
Having visited Nha Trang, it's a must to explore its islands. Spend your Monday getting close to some of Nha Trang's most stunning beaches. Join group tours to the islands for snorkeling adventures.


If you prefer solitude, you can rent a speedboat to visit coastal areas and dine at floating seafood restaurants run by local fishermen. There are even jet skis available to take you to remote beaches, where you can frolic with monkeys and enjoy fresh coconuts.

Another way to enjoy Nha Trang is to spend a morning at VinWonders. Here, be patient while queuing for unlimited fun and entertainment, splashing around in water slides and wave pools at the water park or soaking up the sun on the bay.



Experience Mud Bathing
Surely, you'll be eager to experience Nha Trang's most unique healthcare method, mud bathing. Mud rich in minerals has soothing and skin-rejuvenating effects. Not far from the city, i-Resort is a famous spot for immersing yourself in warm mud, followed by a rinse, massage, and relaxation by the poolside. Additionally, the spa at Amiana Resort also offers private rooms with mud baths, where you can spend hours relaxing and admiring the seascape.

Eat Like a Local
At the end of your weekend getaway in Nha Trang, you'll feel completely refreshed, ready to embrace many wonders. Conclude your vacation with an evening indulging in street food delights.

Try the specialty dish of Central Vietnam, bánh căn, at Banh Can 51 on To Hien Thanh Street (Nha Trang city), where freshly baked bánh căn is topped with shrimp, quail eggs, and fresh seafood. Other must-try dishes in Nha Trang include fish noodles, wonton noodles, and Nha Trang-style grilled duck with salad and sauce, jellyfish noodles, mai fish salad, squid pancakes...
