2025 Vung Tau Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Vung Tau, a beautiful coastal city in the South, is just a 2-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, making it a frequent destination for me. The coastal road here is clean and scenic, with the blue sea on one side and mountains on the other. Though small, Vung Tau offers plenty to explore, from its beaches to its rich Southern cuisine. Popular beaches include Thuy Van, Dau, and Dua. Thuy Van beach is the main public swimming area, lined with parks, snack stalls, and plenty of hotels and resorts. For a quieter experience, I prefer Tam Duong beach (Front Beach) with its coconut trees and closer views of ships. This area also offers cafés, souvenir shops, and seafood restaurants. Behind Fusion Suites Hotel, Xom Luoi Market is a must-visit for fresh seafood – a favorite spot where my daughter and I enjoyed picking out live seafood for a custom meal. Vung Tau’s food scene is another highlight. Don’t miss local specialties like banh khot, salted egg sponge cake, Alibaba ice cream, and stingray hotpot. One of our favorite memories is savoring ice cream while watching the sea at night. #VungTauGetaway #CoastalCharm #ExploreVungTau #VungTauFood #HCMCtoVungTau #awesomepic #deliciousfood #couplestrip

Vietnam-Tung Tau It is a seaside resort, Ho Chi Minh estimated 2-3 hours by car When you come to Vung Tau, there are countless cafes, seafood restaurants, restaurants and more It is a very slow-paced city, come to this side can go to play in the sea water or look at the sea to drink coffee and chat, come here to Ho Chi Minh different feeling, you can indeed see the locals are doing what, many European and American people come here to avoid the cold, the wind in Tung Tau is very comfortable not as boring as Ho Chi Minh, Tung Tau is a city that makes me want to start a business here, maybe one day I will spend there looking at the sea blowing the wind 😉 #Tung Tau has a peculiar charm

#vietnamtrip Jesus Christ Statue also known as The Christ of Vung Tau Statue is located at Vung Tau, Vietnam. The Jesus Christ Statue has an impressive height of 32 meters & it is the largest Christian statue across Asia since 2012 😎 To reach the top of the Jesus Christ Statue, a fit stamina & perseverance is required because we have to walk & hike nearly 800 steps 😱 The continuous effort will be rewarded by beautiful landscapes of mountains, natural scenery such as blue sea & trees once we go up to the top of sculptures on a 10-meter-high concrete pedestal. Remember to wear a hat & comfortable shoes, put sunscreen & bring bottled water to avoid sunburn & stay hydrated 💦 Good things(panorama views) take time(steps), isn’t it 🤣 Attraction: Jesus Christ Statue Address: Thuy Van Street, Ward 2, Vung Tau City, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, Vietnam 🇻🇳 Opening hours: 7.15am - 11.30am & 1.30pm - 4.30pm, daily Entrance fees: Free #jesuschrist #vungtau

Vùng Tàu is the nearest beach to Ho Chi Minh City. It is a 2hr speed ferry or bus ride away. You get to see beautiful sea views, great and cheap seafood, and quaint vibes on a weekday. Definitely worth a visit. One of the major attractions is the Jesus statue that you can actually climb! Though the climb to the statue itself already isn't easy, it's up a steep hill! Definitely worth it to come here for a day trip! There's also a theme park and cable car if you're up for the thrills.

[GETTING THERE] Vung Tau is 125 km away from Ho Chi Minh City, 2 hours by bike, 3 hours by bus, and 2 hours by ferry. [ATTRACTIONS] Vung tau is a good escape from the hustle and bustle of busy Saigon for its picturesque beaches and dreamlike landscape. One of the most visited spots is Ho May Park (the state-of-the-art entertainment). Visiting this place, however, requires you to have a moderate level of physical fitness, which means this place isn't recommended to tourists with cardiovascular problems. For Pagoda explorers, there are many temples around and in the area worth visiting. [FOOD] There are many restaurants that serve various notable seafood, which you MUST try when visiting Vung Tau. ##instatravel #beachlife #vungtau

#Ho-kang-seu #Today's karma #Vietnam #Vung Tau Eat Star Special: Choose your accommodation after seeing the breakfast This is a review of the breakfast at Marina Bay Vung Tau, where you can have breakfast at the Ocean Terrace! I stayed for 2 nights and the menu was satisfactory both days #Marina Bay Vung Tau is also famous for #weddings and #seafood restaurants, so the food is delicious in the first place😋 Isn't it ridiculous to eat breakfast there? There are no Korean-specific menus because there are many Vietnamese people, but it's a place with decent Western food for Vietnam! Rice noodles are served in the northern style~🤍 📍: Marina Bay Vung Tau Resort & Spa 🇻🇳: 115 Tran Phu, Vung Tau, Ba Ria Vung Tau, 78000 #marinabayvungtau #Vung Tau Hotel #Ho-kang-seu #Vietnam Travel #Ho Chi Minh #Overseas Travel #Resort

Location: Vungtau in Vietnam. Getting there: Vungtao city is located 90 minutes on boat from Ho Chi Minh. We stayed in Vung Tau for four nights at the Cao Hotel. There are two beaches in Vung Tao. One is called front beach and one is called back beach. I recommend staying at front beach. Many five star hotels line up here and you have excellent access to the beach. This beach city is cheaper than most in Asia and it's really nice to swim and relax. Even in the winter, it's warm! #vungtau #vietnam

This statue of Jesus is located in Vung Tau, southern Vietnam. Getting there: Fly to Ho Chi Minh and then get the ferry boat ride to Vung Tau. Not expensive and you will be there in less than two hours. This Jesus statue sits at the top of a hill, similar to the one in Rio. You can climb the steps inside and stand on the arms to get a panoramic view of the beach town. Inside the statue also contains a small museum with art and relics. Well worth viewing. #vietnam #vungtau

Vung Tau is a small, coastal city in the south of Vietnam. On the edge of the city, walking distance is a hill and on top of the hill is the amusement park. There's a cable car that takes people on top and back. The tickets for the cable car and the amusement park ate bought at the cable car entrance. The park is very cheap and the ticket includes everything inside the park. There's also a big swimming pool, with slides inside the amusement park. People can relax on the chair by the pool. There are some restaurants and snack shops around the park. It's definitely worth seeing one or twice. #rediscovertravel

Manager: Three years after the epidemic Finally able to return home There are always some changes To be honest, churches in Vietnam are very diverse. This church is the largest and most beautiful church I have ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to take photos at night. The church is more charming after lighting than during the day. Vung Tau - Tourist City Coffee shops are opening one after another along the coast, and the competition is fierce There are also many unique coffee shops When you go home, besides eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping, a coffee shop can also be a place to stay!

It is one of the 2-3 Kong Cafes in Vung Tau It is located with a white hotel building opposite the Vung Tau Church It is easy to find because it is on the main street It is also easy to find Grab The interior is retro and unlike the Kong Cafes in Ho Chi Minh There are almost no customers You can have a good coffee time

Hải Sản Tươi Sống translates to Korean as ''fresh seafood''. If you want a local seafood restaurant, I recommend it. The location is on a main road, so it's easy to visit by Grab. The staff are friendly. The plump tiger shrimp is the best! The mini stir-fried squid goes well with beer^^

Facilities, environment, price, breakfast, view Overall, it was a satisfactory accommodation. The accommodation is divided into upper and lower parts by a road, so when making a reservation, I recommend making a reservation for the side near the sea or the side near the pool. I stayed for 2 nights, but it was a shame that I couldn't use the pool. If you reserve a Vung Tau limousine from Ho Chi Minh Airport, it will take you to the front of the hotel.

Jesus Christ Statue, standing on Mount Nhỏ in Vung Tau, Vietnam. The Vietnamese Catholic Church built this statue in 1974 and it was completed in December 1994. The statue is the largest Christian statue across Asia since 2012, which is 32 metres (105 ft) high statue of Jesus extending his 18.3 metres (60 ft) long arms on the top of 170 metres (558 ft) high Nho Mount in Vung Tau. Again, this is the most amazing place you should visit in Vung Tau! Hope you like this post if you found this useful. Cheers :) #awesomepic #jesus #statue #vietnam

Vung Tau is a small town in the south of Vietnam. Getting there is easy by flying to Ho Chi Minh and then taking a VIP bus to Vung Tau. The VIP cars are very comfortable and not expensive. Vung Tau has two main beaches, the front beach and the back beach. The back beach is cleaner and bigger. There's a pot of street food at night and of course a lot of restaurants all over. There's also a possibility of renting a bike and going around town by yourself. There's also a big supermarket, with a movie theater and food court to enjoy in the city. There are plenty hotels for travelers everywhere. #rediscovertravel

#VietnamTravel On this trip, we had the opportunity to visit Vung Tau City, Vietnam, which is like a Saigon resort town, similar to Bangsaen Pattaya. It only takes about 2 to 3 hours to drive there. And of course, when you come to a city by the sea like this, you have to eat seafood. For lunch, eating Vietnamese-style seafood noodles seems to be the most suitable option. The noodles are large and round like our Vietnamese noodles. They are chewy. As for the taste of the soup, it seems like they add seasonings that contain shrimp or shrimp paste. The smell is a bit strong, but after eating for a while, it becomes delicious. Now for the seafood. They give you a lot of shrimp, squid, shrimp eggs, meatballs, and red pork. The vegetables are also full and overflowing the plate. You will definitely be full. 🥰🥰 I also recommend passion fruit juice. Very delicious and rich The shop is called Bún Riêu Tom Thuận Phuc Location: 94 D. Hoang Hoa Tham, Thanh Tham District, Vung Tau District, Ba Ria - Vung Tau 78000, Vietnam If you like to try unusual food and not stick to the same old taste, don't miss it!

iBis Styles Vung Tau Hotel How to get there: 117 Thuy Van, Vung Tau. Easy to access by motorbike, car or bus. One of the most reasonable choices when coming to Vung Tau with quality commensurate with the price you pay. Only 30m across the street from Back Beach, which is rare in any 4-star quality hotel in Vung Tau. With about 700,000 VND/pax (preferential price for Accor members or on Trip), you will have a 4-star hotel room decorated with a beach tourism theme, direct view of the sea, breakfast for 2 guests, gym service and especially a rooftop swimming pool overlooking the sea. About the room: Decorated with a beach theme with colors and equipment in the style of beach objects and utensils. The room is relatively small (about 20m2) and the walking range is not much. The main plus point is the view from the window and the balcony facing the sea. About the restaurant: The restaurant is cozy with warm lighting, serving all three meals a day. The breakfast buffet does not have many options, but the taste is still okay. For other meals, the hotel has quite delicious and unique set menus. In addition, the hotel also has an infinity pool and a rooftop bar, very suitable for taking excellent photos or chilling afternoons watching the sunset. Overall, it is very good for the price when compared to hotels in the same segment. #couplestrip #summervacation

Vung Tau, Vietnam is a beautiful seaside city. You can get there by boat or minibus from Ho Chi Minh City. When you arrive, you should stay in a hotel facing the sea, enjoy the seaside life, bask in the sun, and eat seafood in the evening! #外游
