This heritage-listed Gold Mine was once the deepest man-made pit in the Southern Hemisphere. Visit this historic township to travel back in time to the gold rush era, learn about the amazing mining history and see Jurassic dinosaur footprints.

Now the city's main cathedral, it was built among a bit of controversy in the mid-20th century, as it replaced the original city church on Parque Vidal. It is home to a white statue of the Virgin Mary which was mysteriously lost for several decades, only to be found in a ditch and finally returned.

St. Giorgio´s Church´s evocative location has fascinated travellers throughout the years, offering a beautiful terrace that dominates the bay. Dating back to 1154, it is perched on top of Portofino´s promontory, bravely standing on the peak of a cliff.

There are two waterfalls in the vicinity of Nha Trang, both of which make for excellent excursions into nature. Ba Ho Falls, at a distance of roughly 30km north of central Nha Trang, are the falls that attract most visitors. You will need a ride to reach the entrance to the natural area (get a taxi or Grab). Bring swimwear, sturdy shoes (not flip-flops), and your own water. Note that water volumes may vary dramatically depending on whether you visit during or outside the dry season (January through August). Another option is Fairy Spring Waterfalls (Suối Tiên), mostly favoured by local youth. These are much smaller compared to Ba Ho, but there is still an opening fit for swimming. There is a small admission fee to visit both falls.
