Tour description
Perched in the cool green highlands, Da Lat is Vietnam's romantic mountain retreat, a city of pine forests, flower gardens and French colonial villas built as a hill station to escape the tropical heat. Its springlike climate and dreamy scenery have long made it a favourite for honeymooners. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its charm and history.
You will stroll beside the misty Xuan Huong Lake, admire faded French-era architecture, and wander the lively central market full of highland produce and flowers. Along the way you will hear how a French doctor turned this plateau into a beloved resort town. Cool, romantic and green, Da Lat is a lovely city to explore on foot.
