Nha Trang isn’t your picture-postcard beachside destination, so don’t think Southeast Asian island vibe when you visit. It’s a bustling city beside the sea, with a pretty long and alluring beach thrown in for good measure. Nha Trang’s a sunbather’s party city, and one that’s become eminently popular with Russian tourists. Aside from a few good temples and some questionable museums, there’s not a whole lot to do here but kick back and relax on the beach with a beer in hand. Think massage parlours, mud spas and water-parks instead of hammocks, Bob Marley and buckets. You won’t find many backpackers here, but what you will find is a welcoming city with some good amenities, a higher-than-average quality of service and a late-night pulse. – Daniel
The main pull of Nha Trang is its 4.5km stretch of beach. It isn’t a spectacular beach – no white sands or shimmering clear waters – but it isn’t at all bad. The length of the stretch ensures it never feels too crowded no matter how many Russians pile on, and at regular intervals there are sun loungers for hire and cold beverages for sale. By night, the beach is a popular gathering place for young and old locals alike, who come to lay down a blanket and chat the evening away. The city itself is built for tourism in every sense, and so finding a restaurant, hotel, or place to get a massage is easy. There is a constant stream of motorcycles but it is by no means as hectic as larger cities like Ho Chi Minh. There are also has a couple of attractions in the form of Po Nagar Cham Towers and Long Son Pagoda that might satiate anyone who feels the urge for some historical or religious culture. – Sarah
