Nha Trang itineraries
Old town, Po Nagar and mud in a day
Stone cathedral, the white Buddha at Long Son and the red towers of Po Nagar before lunch, then an afternoon soaking in mud. Beer on the beach at sunset, the night market and a rooftop after dark. Everything people come to Nha Trang for, in one day.
Beach, mud and islands overnight
Day one is swimming off the beach and going slack in a mud bath; day two is a boat out to Hon Mun to float among the fish. For a short weekend when the sea is all you want.
Nha Trang for families, three days
A whole day at VinWonders, reached by cable car, and two more days of rocks, mud baths and museums at a child's pace. On the last day, shop at Lotte Mart and stop at the long beach on the way to the airport.
