How To Travel Around Nha Trang

Nha Trang’s city bus system is surprisingly a convenient choice for budget travelers. Each ride in the bus costs less than 50 US cents, they have AC, play Vietnam music and are painted in white and blue. The difficulty of finding information on buses in the city as well online or any other place is not matched by many simple bus lines. Also, buses tend to be less crowded outside peak hours. However, one should note that drivers and fare collectors have no knowledge of English; buses are always few resulting into short operating hours; and also the stops are not adjacent to each other. So before you use a bus make sure you have enough time and patience.

Bus number four is possibly most useful to tourists since it goes around major tourist spots (from Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street toward the old airport) such as Vinpearl cable car entrance, Hon Chong Promontory, Po Nagar Cham Towers, Nha Trang Cathedral, Cho Dam Market area among others. If you stay at any hotels located along the main tourist strip take a bus heading south from Nguyen Thien Thuat.

Bus number three will also go through the central tourist area before reaching Doclet Beach. This is one of the few ways that visitors who don’t have their own transportation can get to Doc Let because it takes about an hour and a half.

As for payment options when using bus services only cash will do. Do not try give big bills even though change can be given by fare collectors unlike some places where they cannot break any large denominations. As with other Vietnamese cities buses often stop halfway to pick up passengers if at all then they start moving again once somebody climbs on board through front door which might open while entering.Decide quickly whether or not you want to pay your fare immediately after getting on: instead find somewhere so that you can sit or wait until it comes along beside you then pay back its fare collector.
