1. Po Nagar Cham Towers: Ancient Spiritual Landmark

Perched atop Mount Cu Lau with spectacular views of the Cai River, the Po Nagar Cham Towers are iconic landmarks in Nha Trang. Constructed between the 8th and 11th centuries, these towers were dedicated to Hindu deities. Although only four of the original ten towers remain, they continue to be active religious sites honoring Po Nagar, Cri Cambhu, Sanhaka, and Ganeca. The towers attract numerous visitors, especially during the vibrant Thap Ba Festival, typically celebrated at the end of April and beginning of May.

4. Long Son Pagoda: One Of The Best Nha Trang Attractions

Founded in the late 19th century, Long Son Pagoda is one of Nha Trang’s most revered spiritual sites. The pagoda stands out for its impressive mosaic dragon sculptures crafted from glass and ceramic tiles. Ascending 150 stone steps leads visitors past a serene reclining Buddha statue halfway up, culminating at a massive white Buddha seated atop a lotus blossom. Visitors also find memorial reliefs commemorating Buddhist monks who self-immolated during historical protests in 1963.

5. Thap Ba Mud Bath: Relax and Rejuvenate

Thap Ba Mud Bath, also known as Thap Ba Hot Springs Centre, provides a rejuvenating experience through therapeutic mud baths sourced from natural mineral springs. These baths are believed to detoxify the body, soothe tired muscles, exfoliate dead skin, and replenish essential minerals. Located a short 15-minute drive from the city center, the facility offers private and communal baths, herbal baths, Jacuzzis, waterfalls, swimming pools, and saunas. Visiting between midday and early afternoon typically ensures fewer crowds.

Just a 40-minute scenic drive from Nha Trang lies Ba Ho Waterfalls, a natural sanctuary featuring three cascading waterfalls flowing into clear, inviting lakes. Surrounded by lush rainforest, visitors can swim, picnic, fish, or simply unwind amidst untouched natural beauty. The trail to the falls includes marked paths and occasional cemented steps, blending nature’s charm with accessibility. Organized tours often include visits to nearby attractions such as Monkey Island and Doc Let Beach.

7. Nha Trang Cathedral: Gothic Heritage Site

The Nha Trang Cathedral, prominently situated atop a hill near the railway station, stands as the city’s largest and most impressive Catholic church. Constructed in French Gothic style in the early 19th century, the cathedral is known for its intricate stained-glass windows, a prominent square clock tower, and a trio of historic bells cast in France in 1789. The cathedral’s exterior walls uniquely feature over 4,000 tombstones, relocated here after the adjacent cemetery was cleared in 1988 to expand the railway station.

8. Hon Khoi Salt Fields: Unique Local Industry

Hon Khoi Salt Fields, located approximately an hour’s drive north of Nha Trang, provide a unique glimpse into the traditional Vietnamese salt-harvesting industry. From January to June each year, local women skillfully gather salt from shallow fields, creating striking scenes ideal for photography. The vast salt mountains and workers gracefully balancing heavy baskets offer visitors an authentic experience, highlighting Nha Trang’s thriving salt-production heritage.

9. Alexandre Yersin Museum: Celebrating Science & History

Dedicated to French bacteriologist Alexandre Yersin, this small but insightful museum showcases his invaluable contributions to Vietnam, including discovering the bacterium responsible for the bubonic plague and founding the city of Da Lat. Exhibits feature personal items, original letters, laboratory equipment, and historical photographs. A short, informative film about Yersin’s life enhances the visit, and guided tours are available in English, French, and Vietnamese.

10. Suoi Do Pagoda: Tranquil Mountain Temple

Suoi Do Pagoda is a serene Buddhist temple honoring Quan Am, the goddess of mercy. Set atop a lush mountain approximately 30 minutes from central Nha Trang, the pagoda offers picturesque views of rice paddies, banana plantations, and surrounding hills. Visitors ascend about 200 steps to reach the tranquil temple, making it ideal for those seeking peaceful reflection. Due to its remote location and limited accessibility, joining a local tour or obtaining detailed directions is advisable.
