For those looking to immerse themselves in local culture, Nha Trang will not disappoint. This vibrant city boasts a variety of cultural spaces and delicious local foods, available in both restaurants and on the bustling streets. One of the best ways to experience the city is by riding on the back of a motorcycle, navigating the lively streets while soaking in the sights and sounds.
We will begin our culinary journey by trying "Nem Nuong Ninh Hoa" - Ninh Hoa Grilled Fermented Pork Rolls - at a popular local restaurant. Here, you can enjoy this traditional dish surrounded by locals, truly eating like a resident. Next, we will visit a famous street stall to sample "Banh Xeo Muc," a unique Nha Trang pancake made with squid instead of the typical pork and shrimp found in other cities.
You will also have the chance to savor "Bo Nuong Lac Canh" - Lac Canh Grilled Beef - at a well-known 40-year-old specialty restaurant. This dish is a must-try, not only for its exceptional flavor but also for the fun of cooking it yourself, adding an exciting twist to your dining experience. Finally, we will stroll down the city’s vibrant night-time ‘Walking Street’ and enjoy fresh seafood along the beach, known as Bo Ke. To wrap up the tour, unwind while sipping drinks and enjoying the beautiful beach view.
