Transportation options when traveling from Nha Trang to Da Lat
To reach Nha Trang, travelers often choose to travel by air or by road.
Traveling to Nha Trang by air
The city center of Nha Trang is just over 36km from Cam Ranh Airport. This provides great convenience for you to travel to Nha Trang by air. Airplanes are always the top choice due to their safety and speed. Currently, Vietnamese airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, and Bamboo operate flights to Nha Trang from various departure points, including:
- Da Nang - Nha Trang
- Hanoi - Nha Trang
- Ho Chi Minh City - Nha Trang
- ...
Ticket prices may vary depending on the booking time and your departure point. Therefore, to enjoy the best ticket prices, make sure to book your flight to Nha Trang as early as possible!
Traveling to Nha Trang by road
Given that Nha Trang is located in the southern part of Central Vietnam, traveling by road to Nha Trang may not be feasible from distant departure points such as provinces in the North. However, if your departure point is closer to Nha Trang, such as provinces like Ninh Thuan, Phu Yen, etc., then traveling by car or motorbike is also reasonable. But in my opinion, the most optimal way to reach Nha Trang is still by plane (if your departure point is near the airport). Although the ticket prices may seem higher compared to other modes of transportation, it will undoubtedly help you conserve energy and spirit to enjoy the trip without having to drive for many hours.
Transportation between Nha Trang - Da Lat
Nha Trang and Da Lat are located in two neighboring provinces, so transportation between them is quite convenient. The main means of transportation used are cars and motorbikes. Each mode of transportation has its own advantages and disadvantages, so depending on your preferences and personal needs, you can choose which mode of transportation to use for your trip.

Day 3: Chicken Church and LangBiang Peak
After 2 days of traveling in Nha Trang, let's explore the beauty of Dalat starting with the Chicken Church! This is one of the churches, architectural works that preserve nearly a century of history in Dalat. It is named Chicken Church because of the image of a chicken statue lying on the top of the church's cross. Here, visitors will feel like they are in Europe, as the church is built in the Romanesque style with exquisite ancient decorations. Chicken Church is open to all tourists, but it is a solemn place, so everyone should maintain order during the visit!
In the afternoon, let's explore the 'roof of the Lam Dong plateau' - LangBiang peak. With an altitude of over 2000m and picturesque scenery, LangBiang is always the top attraction in this city of thousands of flowers. Here, tourists also have the opportunity to experience the culture of the Central Highlands with the local people, enjoy Central Highlands cuisine, drink rice wine, etc. This is definitely an experience that every tourist desires when traveling to Dalat.
Day 4: Cau Dat Tea Hill, Dalat
Based on my travel experience in Dalat, once you're here, don't miss the extremely attractive tourist spot - Cau Dat Tea Hill. Cau Dat Tea Hill, nearly 100 years old, has become a 'friend', a 'special cultural feature' of Dalat. Visitors here have the chance to see with their own eyes the lush green tea leaves being picked by local women. You can also become a tea picker to truly feel the peaceful beauty of this place.

Delicious Delicacies in Nha Trang - Dalat
This 4-day 3-night trip to Nha Trang - Dalat will be even more fulfilling if you get to enjoy all the specialties there. Let's explore the must-try delicacies in Nha Trang - Dalat.
Nha Trang Wet Cake: Unlike wet cakes (steamed rice rolls) in northern provinces, Nha Trang wet cake is not eaten with plain meat filling. Instead, it's spread with a layer of scallion oil, sprinkled with ground shrimp powder before being rolled and dipped in chili fish sauce, accompanied by raw vegetables. Nha Trang wet cake has a distinct flavor because it carries the rich taste of the sea.
- Recommended location: 29 Le Dai Hanh Street, Nha Trang City

Grilled Fish with Green Chili: Fresh fish, carefully selected, marinated with super spicy green chili - a characteristic of Nha Trang, then wrapped in silver foil and grilled over charcoal or in an oven. The fish has a strong aroma of chili, served with raw vegetables and rice paper rolls. Even if you're not a fan of spicy food, you should try this unique dish at least once!
- Recommended location: 6 Hon Chong Street, Nha Trang City
Stuffed Sea Snail: When in Dalat, everyone wants to taste stuffed sea snails. The crispy sweetness of the snail meat combined with the softness of the filling, along with the spicy taste of chili, lemongrass, blended with sweet and sour fish sauce creates a special, delicious flavor that diners can't forget.
- Recommended location: 33 Hai Ba Trung, Dalat.
Specialty Stuffed Sea Snails
Banh Can: This is a popular grilled rice cake in Dalat with fillings such as chicken eggs, duck eggs, or quail eggs depending on the customer's preference. The cake is poured into molds and grilled directly over the fire instead of being fried in oil, so it's fluffy, not greasy, and has a beautiful color. Banh Can is often served with shredded green mango, onions, and shredded cucumbers.
- Recommended location: 13 Nha Chung, Dalat, Lam Dong.
