How To Travel Around Da Lat

Most locations in the town are within walking distance, depending on where you stay. If you’re traveling outside of town, you can quickly reach there by catching a xe om (motorbike taxi) from most corners. You can reserve a Grab Bike via the app as well. Taxi vehicles are plentiful and reasonably priced, but be sure to check the meter because meter tampering is a widespread practice from north to south. As of July 2018, meter-fixing is a considerably less common issue, and practically all taxi meters start working after a short distance has been traveled. The occasional cab may take you on a detour to get to your destination, but by pointing out that you know the way and opening Google Maps, you may minimize such occurrences. A affordable and convenient way to travel around Dalat is by taxi.

The majority of the popular tourist attractions are close to a local bus route. You can catch it at the bus stop at the lake if you’re traveling south. If not, the bus hub is located on Hoa Binh Square, which is close to the market and is located on Khu Hoa Binh, behind the Hoa Binh theater. Every day at 17:30, the last bus departs.

There are various locations in the city where you can rent a motorbike, tandem, or bicycle. Consider your options carefully before renting a motorcycle in Vietnam. By law, you must have a current Vietnamese driver’s license in order to operate a motor vehicle there. Without one, any insurance that the bike might have expires, and you become responsible for any damages. In Southeast Asia, it is assumed that you have more wealth than the other side, hence you are always responsible and guilty. The bike’s entire replacement cost, any harm done to other people or their property, as well as the cost of ruining your vacation, will all be your responsibility. Need a private vehicle?
