Dalat: 10 Best Things to Do & Travel Guide
Dalat is clearly one of the highlights of Vietnam, especially if you like adrenaline. Dalat is completely different from any other place in Vietnam. The weather is spring-like cool instead of tropical hot, the city is littered with elegant French-colonial villas instead of a grim socialist architecture, and the farms around are littered with strawberries and flowers instead of rice.
5 reasons to visit Dalat
- Increase the adrenaline pace with mountain biking, white water rafting, canyoning or a climbing adventure in the hills around Dalat.
- Jump on a motorbike and explore the waterfalls, lakes and forests in the area.
- In the early morning, gibbons wanted to track down and then search for crocodiles in the Cat Tien National Park.
- Visit the local farms and plantations.
- Enjoy local food, which comes directly from the area.
Where to stay
Staying in the center – Located near the Dalat night market, suitable for shopping, eating and relaxing, most means of transport (taxi, motorcycle, bicycle) are available, with many beautiful views that are worth seeing, including Xuan Huong Lake, the flower garden of the city of Dalat.
Hotels outside the city of Dalat – Staying further away from the city center also have some unique advantages: a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, less touristy and a cheaper price. Although it takes you more time to travel to the market or other highlights of the city, in return you get a beautiful landscape to enjoy, as well as more private space to relax.
