The capital of Khanh Hoa province, and located on Vietnam's southeastern coastline, Nha Trang is a popular tourist destination and a great stop on any backpacking trail. With a reputation as a glamorous 'party city' - it hosted the Miss Universe pageant in 2008, the Miss World pageant in 2010, and the 2016 Asian Beach Games - Nha Trang boasts fabulous, pristine white-sand beaches, and stellar scuba-diving and snorkelling.

To the west, you’ll find the modern tourist resort with hotels and international eateries and to the east, you’ll find Danang, a busy Vietnamese town in which to embrace local life. Choose whether to mingle with the Nha Trang people, daring to sample delicacies like the half-cooked duck eggs, visit the historic sightseeing attractions or head to the glorious sands and work on your tan.
