Popular Transportation | Miscellaneous Transportation Tips | All Tips (15) I didn’t say that bicycle is the only mode of transport to bring you to beach. But bicycle is a great way of exploring Nha Trang City.
By the way, Nha Trang is the 4th biggest city in Vietnam. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

It's pretty easy to hire a motorbike in a touristic city like Nha Trang. One option is to go to the Sinh Cafe (or competitor). That's what I did in July 2002. I wonder if the guy is already out of the shock he got into when I said I'd be hiring it for 14 days. *laughs* So, I was taken to another place where bikes & motorbikes are for hire (Tuan Mai, 2L Hung Vuong, street parallel to Tran Phu Street).
Of course, when you're not as crazy as me, the touristic offices are the better option. I just paid the regular day price (5$) * 14d (with the Sinh Cafe paying a smaller amount to Tuan Mai). If you speak Vietnamese fluently, it might be a better idea to directly visit Tuan Mai (only the little daughter spoke a little bit of English... but don't worry: the Vietnamese will always know a friend who knows a friend who speaks English *smiles*)
Attention. Nha Trang is the only city where I almost had a motorbike accident. This occurred when a local motorbiker saw me, and didn't expect I'd be driving Vietnamese style & thus stopped. In other words, the Vietnamese may adapt their typical driving style when noticing a whitie on a motorbike. This makes them less predictable Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

The traffic in Nha Trang is very light, when compare to such cities as HCMC and Hanoi. Getting around is fairly easy in Nha Trang, everything is pretty much within walking distance but you can be lazy and rent a motor scooter (125cc) to ride around. Motor scooters rental is very easy in Nha Trang, all the hotels I stayed at had motor scooters renting service, you just need to ask the staff. The price is usually 60,000 VND - 75000 VND a day which equates to about $4 USD - 5 USD a day...anything more would be too much... Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

Flying between places makes sense in Vietnam, for several reasons... and not only because you are short of time. The distances are quite important between most places of interest, with a significant exception in central Vietnam (Hoi An - Danang - Hue) - roads are in good conditions but no one follows road rules.. or maybe there simply aren't... an accident is always around the corner.
For longer distances we chose to fly, so we got to Nha Trang by plane from Danang... a dodgy-looking ATR72 which had seen better days, but I slept all the way through... a very smooth 1 hour and 20 minutes flight. The cost? Less than 50 dollars by Vietnam airlines, which except for this flight had large and very modern planes. Recommended. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneWebsite: http://www.vietnamairlines.com/
