Just as the area straddling Pham Ngu Lao Street is considered by backpacking tourists as the place to be in Ho Chi Minh City, Biet Thu Street, located in the heart of the coastal city of Nha Trang, is known as a "backpacker's haven”.

When staying in Nha Trang, budget travelers would do well to visit the “headquarters” of the local party scene in order to experience a unique aspect of one of Viet Nam’s favorite vacation spots. With many shops owned by foreigners, visitors there may feel as if they are walking down a street in a modern European city.

While the rest of the city sleeps, the party rages all night in the haven. Most of the mini-hotels, shops, restaurants and bars are crowded with large numbers of visitors from Europe, America and other places.

Over the length of its 500 meters, there are over 20 restaurants and bars serving food from Germany, Italy, France, Japan, Korea and others. Shoppers will find a treasure trove of souvenir shops selling locally produced goods and there are plenty of travel agents offering tours and travel services.

With all these features and more, Biet Thu Street is quickly coming to symbolize Nha Trang’s dynamic hospitality and friendliness.
