What our travellers think of their stay
In the heart of Vietnam, a pleasant stopover.
My suggestion
Hire a motorbike to explore the surrounding area.
Dalat is an old mountain resort that was built for the colonists of French Indochina when they sought out cooler temperatures. Today, it remains an outdoor destination with mountains, waterfalls, and of course, the cool temperatures.
My suggestion
It is built on a mountain and therefore yes, it can get cool or even cold there, especially in the evenings - so make sure you have a fleece to keep you warm.

My suggestion
The best way to get about in Dalat is by scooter. It's practical for exploring the town and its surroundings. And, as all the hotels rent them fairly cheaply, why hesitate?
Dalat is a town at altitude, on the high plateaus in the centre of Vietnam. Pleasant and charming, its calm atmosphere, surrounding nature and infrastructure are sure to please tourists.
My suggestion
Hire a motorbike and go meet the locals around Dalat.
