Dalat railway station was considered one of the most beautiful in Indochina. It was built in 1938 by a French architect. Antique railway connected Dalat with the town of Tap Cham (84 km), but during the war the railway was damaged and closed. In 1991, part of the railway road was restored - about 7 km. Nowadays a retro tourist train runs along this section of the route, connecting Dalat with the village of Trai Mat. This village is home to the beautiful Linh Phuoc Pagoda.

There is an old steam locomotive on the platform, and in one of the old carriages there is a cafe where you can drink a cup of delicious Vietnamese coffee.

It is near the market that the entire tourist life of the city is in full swing. In the evening, several streets near the market become pedestrian, along which a large evening market with food and souvenirs is laid out. Sort of in Vietnamese :)

Even if you don’t plan to buy anything at the market, still stop by the central market to feel the atmosphere of Dalat, and maybe you won’t be able to resist the candied berries and local wine, or the strawberries and mulberries and buy a lot of Dalat “delicacies” :)

Area near central market. The market itself is located in a building, but trade takes place on all the streets adjacent to it

At the Dalat market: dried fruits, sweets, nuts, wine... yum-yum :)

Another great thing about the Datanla waterfall is that you can go down to it on an electric sled (or, as they are called in Vietnam, an alpine sled). Be sure to take a ride - just a lot of fun!

Now the territory of the country includes nine international airports , but only valid until four regular flights From Russia. The largest is Tan Son Nhat, which is located in Ho Chi Minh City. Not far from the capital(45 kilometers from Hanoi) is Noi Bai Airport, which attracts tourists with its architecture in the style of a classic Vietnamese pagoda.

If you need to fly to Dalang, it has its own airport three kilometers from the city. Khanh Hoa Province uses Cam Ranh, which is located in Nha Trang.

Tourists who are interested in resort holidays most often used Tan Son Nhat Airport, which is closest to others popular resorts. In the future, this airport will be used for domestic flights, and “resort tourists” will be served by Long Thanh Airport.

Dalat is the city of a thousand flowers, eternal love, beautiful waterfalls and crazy houses. The place was once chosen by French colonialists, who, escaping the southern heat, moved higher and higher into the mountains. People come here to admire coniferous forests and unusual monasteries, get lost in flower parks and unusual labyrinths, eat strawberries and get in touch with the local culture. If you are going to Dalat and are looking for what to see in 2 days, then this publication will come in handy.

How to navigate

Even though Dalat small town, its attractions are located at a decent distance from each other, and some are even beyond its borders. Therefore, for the convenience of moving between the attractions of Dalat, it is better to rent a moped or hire a driver for the whole day.

The cost of renting a moped is approximately 120,000 VND (±$5) per day, and you can rent it on almost every corner, even in guesthouses or small hotels. But it is necessary to take into account that at almost all attractions you will have to pay 2000 - 5000 dong for parking.

If you are not considering a two-wheeled mode of transport, then you can find a driver and agree with him to take you for a whole day to the places you want to visit. The price will vary from 700,000 dong (±$30), depending on the route.

Well, remember that for short trips you can use the Grab application (similar to Uber); in fact, we used it to get from the Dalat bus station to the guesthouse, where we immediately rented a bike.

I am writing the sights of Dalat in the order in which we visited them in 2 days.

What to see in Dalat on day 1

Valley of Love

Cost of visit: 100,000 VND. Parking: 3,000 VND.

Dalat Railway Station

Despite the fact that the station no longer serves a primary function, this place is a magnet for tourists. The railway station was built by the French in 1932 and was considered the most beautiful in all of Indochina. Nowadays people come here to admire the locomotives of the last century and take a photo against the backdrop of the main station building. From here you can take the retro tourist train to the village of Traimat, where the bottle pagoda is located.

The train departs 5 times a day: at 7.45, at 9.50, at 11.55, at 14.00 and at 16.05. The journey to Traimat is 30 minutes.

Cost of visiting the railway station: 10,000 VND. Fare on the vintage train: 120,000 VND. Parking near the railway station: 3,000 VND.

Wan Han Pagoda and Golden Buddha Statue

Another on-duty attraction that is usually visited along the way. The height of the statue is 24 meters; Buddha holds a lotus flower in his right hand. Near the pagoda you can find a statue of a reclining Buddha, as well as sculptures of dragons and various mythical creatures. On the territory of the temple there is a sculpture workshop where statues of various shapes are cast from concrete. You can also make a donation here. At the same time, in honor of people who made large donations, marble benches are made, on which the name and city of the person who showed generosity is engraved. There are the most Russian names and cities here.

Xuan Huong lake

The lake, formed by the construction of a dam in 1919, rather serves as a guide that you are somewhere near the central part of Dalat. The lake is nothing special, but in the evening you can walk around or rent a swan and ride on the lake itself, the rental cost will be 70,000 dong.

Bar 100 roofs (100 Roofs Cafe) or Maze bar (ex. Duong Len Trang)

Why is a bar included in the list of Dalat attractions? Because this is truly a cool attraction that you will not find anywhere else in the world. You will come across a Buddha statue and waterfalls, but there is definitely no bar like this. The bar occupies a huge area and consists of many labyrinths that intertwine with each other. come here better in the evening when electronic music is playing.

What to see in Dalat on day 2

Da Lat Flower Garden

A large botanical garden in the center of Dalat, divided into several thematic sectors, on which florists worked masterfully, creating entire works of art in the form of lush flower beds and flower sculptures. Here you will find a huge bottle of French province Bordeaux, Dutch windmill, Mexican cacti and many other floral arrangements. This is a great place for leisurely romantic walks without leaving the center of Dalat.

Cost of visit: 40,000 VND. There is paid parking.

Linh Phuoc Pagoda

Visiting is free, but parking is paid. In principle, if you don’t reach the pagoda 150-200 meters, you can leave the bike for free.

Truc Lam Monastery and cable car (Truc Lam Dalat)

An active Buddhist monastery located in the highlands surrounded by lakes and pine forests. An amazing place to heal your nerves. The best way to get to the monastery is by cable car, but there is also access for transport.

By the way, if you came to Dalat by bus, then keep in mind that the cable car is located next to (10 minutes walk) the Dalat bus station, so if you come light and are not tired from the trip, you can immediately start sightseeing from the monastery.

Visiting is free. Paid parking nearby.

Crazy House, Hang Nga Guesthouse

Crazy house is probably the main one business card Dalat from the general list of attractions. It is both a hotel and a tourist attraction. Each excursion program necessarily includes a visit to this place. And it’s not surprising, because the madhouse in Dalat is one of the ten strangest buildings in the world. In addition, many TV shows with travel themes constantly include this place in their plots.

Cost of visit: 10,000 VND. Parking fee: VND 5,000.

Datanla waterfall

Cost of visiting, descending and ascending on an electric sleigh: 150,000 VND.

How long does it take to get to Dalat?

Of course, you need to go to Dalat overnight, preferably for several days; one day here is not enough. The best option would be to make an initial stop here in order to endure acclimatization as comfortably as possible. If you have been to Bali, you can compare this combination with Ubud. Many Russian tour operators do combined tours Nha Trang + Phan Thiet, but it seems to me that they are missing the opportunity to make a unique program: Nha Trang + Dalat + Phan Thiet. Just look at the map and you will immediately understand how perfectly this route fits together.

I wish everyone to immerse themselves in this charming city.

Dalat Flower Park

A huge park in the city of Dalat, you can get here either on foot or by taxi (from the city center approximately 40−50 thousand dong). This botanical park was founded by French colonialists in 1966. There are so many plants here!

There are also greenhouses on site where you can buy your favorite specimens. By the way, only in one city in Vietnam - Da Lat - you can buy bulbs of all kinds of orchids (you can take them home with you in your luggage), in other cities only sprouts of these unusual flowers are sold, which Russian customs prohibits from being imported into the Russian Federation.

And not far from the Garden of Flowers you can see this unusual Catholic church, which, from afar, is a trip to a Buddhist pagoda:

We saw the top of the “pagoda” from a hill in the flower garden and decided to look at it, it turned out that it was a Catholic church

Where is the flower garden in Dalat on the map:

Linh Son Pagoda (in the center of Da Lat)

A small pagoda located directly in the city, so you can even visit it on foot. The pagoda itself is unremarkable; inside there is a statue of Buddha and a bell. But its territory is beautiful, there are many sculptures, a quiet garden and a view from the hill onto the streets.

Prenn Park and waterfalls

The second most popular (after the park with electric sleighs and cable cars) place to visit in Dalat. The park is famous not only for its waterfall (which, by the way, is very modest), but also for elephant and ostrich rides. The park is beautiful and large, it’s nice to take a walk here. You can also, for a fee, dress up in national costumes and take pictures against the background beautiful nature, which is what we did.

The waterfall is located far away, 50 km from the city, but it is worth a visit!

For a more detailed story about Pongur Falls and other photos and a map, see.

Linh Phuoc Pagoda

The pagoda is famous for the fact that many different fragments were used in its decoration. In the main building (a bell tower of 7 floors), you can climb to the top floor and see the surroundings of Dalat from above:

Truc Lam Pagoda

It's close to the Datanla Waterfalls, so it makes sense to combine a visit to these Dalat attractions. Entrance to the territory is free.
This pagoda struck us with its tranquility. Here you want to sit on the parapet and spend several hours in contemplation. The atmosphere is complemented by wind chimes hanging on all the trees and buildings.
