DELUXE | PRIVATE-GUIDED: Extend your Vietnamese vacation and take in the eccentric resort town of Dalat. This charming mountain city has mild temperatures and a wealth of curious sights, from a guesthouse like something out of Alice in Wonderland to the romantic colonial architecture to the strawberry fields and waterfalls of the surrounding countryside.
This 3-day stopover tour takes you to temperate Dalat, in the highlands of central Vietnam.
Fly from Ho Chi Minh City to Dalat as a stopover on your Vietnam vacation. Dalat is an oddity, but a delightful one. While tropical heat and Socialist architecture define much of Vietnam, mild temperatures and colonial architecture are more Dalat’s beat. You’ll think you were in the French Alps instead of Southeast Asia, which makes sense as the French built the city in the early twentieth century as a resort getaway. Today, the city is Vietnam’s honeymoon capital, which leans into its European heritage with its eccentric Eiffel Tower-themed radio tower and “Valley of Love,” complete with swan boats. Dalat might ring as kitschy to some, but a few days here will be a highlight of any trip to Vietnam. Explore the city centre to take in the city’s oddball charms, including the Hang Nga Guesthouse, dubbed the “Crazy House” for its Alice in Wonderland-style architecture. However, you’ll want to escape to the surrounding hillsides to get a fuller sense of the region’s appeal.
The hills around Dalat are dotted with pagodas, waterfalls, picturesque inclines, as well as plantations for fruits not normally grown in Vietnam. For instance, temperatures and elevations allow farmers to grow strawberries instead of rice. Hire one of the veteran motorbike guides, dubbed Easy Riders, to drive you around for an authentic experience of the city and its region. It might be unconventional, but it’ll allow you access to sights not normally offered in Vietnam tour packages, and you’ll get amazing information from a guide with a wealth of experience. The surrounding hills and lakes are also ideal if you want to whitewater raft or race through the hills on the back of a motorcycle.
It’s worth extending your Vietnam vacation to accommodate a trip to Dalat. It’s a city you’ll never forget.

Half Day Dalat Orientation
Gateway to the Central Highlands and a former French colonial hill station, the city of Dalat retains a character different to any other in Vietnam and on this tour you will discover something of this eclectic mix. Visit the town's vibrant central market. Bustling with activity and bursting with fresh locally-grown produce, it's not unusual to see fresh flowers and fruits more associated with European climes on display. Continue to the former Railway Station, which today is only used for special steam train charters, and Dalat Cathedral, built between 1931 and 1942 for use by French residents and holiday-makers.
Founded in the late 1800s, many reminders of its heritage remain and Dalat has a plethora of colonial-style buildings, including Bao Dai's Summer Palace, a marvellous art deco villa on the edge of town where the interior design has remained unchanged through the decades. Bao Dai was the Last Emperor of Vietnam and the palace has been preserved exactly as he left it in 1954. Finally, visit Lam Dong Museum which traces Vietnam's ethnic history via a fascinating display of regional artefacts and traditional costumes (subject to museum opening times).
