Complete experience from A to Z without worrying about "burning your pocket"

This article will give detailed instructions on how to arrange a reasonable budget from accommodation, food, transportation to entertainment spots, helping you explore Nha Trang economically without missing anything special.

Cheap but quality homestay and hotel

Nha Trang has many accommodation options that are suitable for your budget, from only 100,000 - 400,000 VND/night. If you are traveling in a group of 3-4 people, homestay is the best choice.

Areas like Nguyen Thien Thuat, Tran Phu streets or near Dam market have many beautiful, clean homestays with prices of only about 200,000 - 300,000 VND/night for the whole room.

Some outstanding homestays such as Mango Homestay, The Summer Homestay or Salt Hostel are highly appreciated for their space and service.

If you want more privacy, 2-star mini hotels around the central area are also affordable, only from 300,000 - 400,000 VND/night for a double room.

To save even more, book through travel apps like Traveloka, Agoda or Booking.com to get discounts. Note to book at least 1-2 weeks in advance to get the best price.

Discover Nha Trang street food at affordable prices

Nha Trang cuisine not only has expensive seafood but also many delicious and cheap dishes. You can start your day with a bowl of hot fish noodle soup or banh can for only 25,000 - 30,000 VND.

Some famous restaurants such as Ms. Tam's fish noodle soup (Yersin Street) or Ms. Hanh's rice cake (Bach Dang Street) are always crowded because of their rich flavors.

For lunch, you can try fried chicken rice at Nhu Phan restaurant for about 50,000 VND/portion or jumping shrimp pancakes at Ba Hai restaurant for only 40,000 VND.

In the evening, visit Nha Trang night market to enjoy snacks such as grilled spring rolls, rice paper rolls with pork at extremely cheap prices, only from 15,000 - 20,000 VND/dish. Don't forget to try a smoothie or sugarcane juice for 10,000 - 15,000 VND to cool down after a day of walking around.

If you want to eat seafood but still save money, you can visit small restaurants along the coast or Dam Market area, where fresh seafood is sold at reasonable prices. A plate of grilled squid or steamed shrimp is only about 100,000 - 150,000 VND, enough for 2 people to eat.

Save on motorbikes and buses

The cheapest means of transportation in Nha Trang is motorbike, with rental prices ranging from only 100,000 - 120,000 VND/day. You can rent a motorbike at shops near the center or right at your homestay. Motorbikes help you actively explore tourist attractions without spending much money.

If you don’t like driving yourself, the bus is a great option at only 7,000 VND/trip. Bus routes 4 and 6 will take you to many famous places such as Long Son Pagoda, Ponagar Tower or Vinpearl Land.

For places nearby like Nha Trang beach or Au Co park, you can completely walk to both enjoy the scenery and save money.

Free and cheap experience

Nha Trang has many free or very low cost destinations. The 6km long Nha Trang beach is ideal for swimming, sunbathing or simply strolling to watch the sunset.

You can also visit Long Son Pagoda with its giant white Buddha statue or Po Nagar Tower to learn about ancient Champa culture, both of which are free to enter.

If you like to explore nature, walk up to Hon Chong to see the whole city or go to Bich Dam island (boat ticket only 50,000 VND) to dive and see coral.

In the evening, wandering along the coastal street to watch the flower lanterns or stopping by a rooftop cafe with a sea view for only 30,000 VND/cup is a great way to relax.

The ultimate savings secret

To keep your trip from costing more than 2 million VND, plan early. Book sleeper bus or train tickets at least 2 weeks in advance to get a good price (from 300,000 - 500,000 VND/trip depending on the company).

Bring personal items such as sunscreen, hats, and umbrellas to avoid expensive purchases. Avoid buying expensive souvenirs and instead take lots of photos as souvenirs.

If you travel during the low season (September to December), you can save even more because room rates and services are often deeply discounted. Finally, don't forget to follow promotions from travel apps or booking websites to hunt for good deals.

With 2 million VND and a little ingenuity, Nha Trang will no longer be a luxury destination. From blue sea to street food, everything is within your reach if you know how to arrange. Plan now and enjoy a memorable trip without worrying about "burning a hole in your pocket"!
