In this article, we will consider a small and very quickly resolved question by all tourists, how to get from the airport to Nha Trang? Rather, how to get to the center from the airport of Cam Ranh, it will be more accurate for those who are looking for an answer to this question on the Internet.

How to get there?

Get to Nha Trang by taxi

There are not so many options on how to get from the airport to Nha Trang - these are bus and taxi. As for the taxi, I was surprised, the taxi service is much better developed here than in my hometown. Each taxi driver is dressed in a special uniform, usually dark trousers and a yellow shirt, or a white one. All cars are neat and clean. Each transportation company has its own car color.

As for the inside of the car, the ceiling is covered with a special plastic wrap, which prevents the car from getting dirty with your head. Each car has an air conditioner and before each departure you are required to fasten your seat belts. As for the taxi and where to find it to get to the center?

When leaving the airport, you will need to walk 50 meters straight and on your left you will see a large parking lot with yellow, turquoise, white cars - this will be a taxi. Here you will be shown which car to sit in and how much the fare will cost, I will write a little below about the price and how to save on a taxi ride, now let's move on to buses.

Get from the airport to Nha Trang by bus

How to get from the airport to the center of Nha Trang? At the airport, in the baggage claim area, you will see a counter with the inscription “điểm bán vé xe bus”, which means the check-in desk for the bus, as a rule there is a woman who understands Russian well, but speaks poorly. You ask how to understand it? Sign language and common phrases in English and Russian will take you where you need to go!

When leaving the airport, we immediately turn left, there will be a small minibus waiting for you, as a rule it is a toyota hilux or a ford tranzit of silver color for 15 seats, for luggage there is no additional charge. On it you can get to the very center, more precisely to Gorky Park, if your hotel is located further away, then you can either walk along the embankment with your luggage, and here you will be ‘attacked’ by crowds of taxi drivers with a request to take you to the right place in the city.

Where to get money for travel - currency exchange at the airport

If you arrived with your own currency, then it's okay, you can exchange money right at the airport of Cam Ranh, almost near the exit there are four currency exchange counters, by the way, there are also tour operators' counters here, you won't pass by. As for the exchange rate of dollars or euros for dongs, then you will not lose much, for example, if the official exchange rate for Vietnam is 2,200,000 dongs for 100 dollars, then the rate will be 2,100,000, the difference is not very significant. I advise you to change a little at first, to get to the city of Nha Trang, I advise you to change 100 dollars. Also, about all the problems of the local currency and where it is profitable to change it, I have a separate article ‘what money to take to Vietnam’, I recommend that those who travel for the first time read it.

How much does it cost to get from the airport to the city center?

As for the taxi drivers, they understand you very well in Russian, and they speak so, so we agree on the price in advance even before we got into the car. Another very important point for all unknowing tourists about the divorce of taxi drivers for money, be sure to negotiate a fixed price, do not try to go by the meter. Now we remember the approximate figures of the taxi fare from the airport to the city center:

• From Cam Ranh airport to the city (to Lotus) the cost is 450,000 - 550,000 dong or 15 - 20 dollars. According to the counter, you will have about 800,000 dong at least
• Take a taxi to the city (Vinpearl area) cost 350,000 - 400,000 dongs or 12-14 dollars

If a bus takes you to the center, then from Gorky Park you can take a taxi in any direction for a maximum of 100,000 dongs. As for the cost of a bus ride to the city, the price will be $ 4 or 80,000 dong. All buses leave 15 minutes after the last tourist leaves the arriving flight.

Map of directions from the airport to Nha Trang

As for travel and road to the city, the track is very good and with minimal congestion, the travel time will be approximately 40 minutes by bus and 30 minutes by taxi. For those tourists who are seasick, a small interval of the road will be in a mountainous area with a winding road, so you will need to take care of the necessary measures in advance. There is an opinion that taxi drivers begin to circle around the city to make travel more expensive, yes, it is, but on one condition - if you use the meter. Once again, we agree on the price in advance, then not only will they not drive you around the city, they will also take you faster than everyone else.
