Nha Trang
Last Updated: 7th May 2012
Nha Trang is a bay-side town famous for its white sandy beaches and clear emerald-green waters that make it the scuba diving capital of the country.
Like many towns and cities in Vietnam, it has been known by a number of names including ‘Kauthara’ but regardless of its name, the area has gained renown over the past century as perhaps the best beach resort in Vietnam.
The beaches are filled with local Vietnamese as well as tourists from all over the world who flock to the area for its relaxed, laid-back vibe, fantastic swimming and great nightlife. Thermal hot springs and mud baths are also available nearby and add even more of a resort feel to the town.

For a great view of the city (especially at night) go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris. It also offers a great vantage point for viewing the water show at the Bellagio.
A tip for people looking for a decent coffee shop.. if you don't already know about it, you will because most Contiki travellers find out about it - its The Grasshopper. Ask a local and they should be able to tell you where to find it.
If you have a high-def video camera, be sure to take it on a hike with you to the bottom of the canyon. HD is the only way to bring out the gorgeous contrast of blue sky and red rock that you'll want to show everyone at home.
