Tour description
A breezy peninsula city just a short distance from Ho Chi Minh City, Vũng Tàu has long been a favorite seaside escape from the heat in southern Vietnam. Once a French colonial resort and a center of the oil and gas industry, it harmoniously combines beaches, hills, and history in a compact, highly walkable city. On this walking tour, a local guide will take you to discover the city’s most fascinating corners.
You’ll stroll along the promenade by Front Beach, hear stories about old French villas and the hilltop lighthouse, and learn about the giant Christ the King statue standing majestically facing the sea. Along the way, you’ll discover fishing village culture and the relaxed, free-spirited rhythm of coastal life. Warm, sunny, and unpretentious, Vũng Tàu is an exceptionally pleasant city to explore on foot.
