Po Nagar Cham Towers

Getting around: About 2km north of central Nha Trang, near the mouth of the Cai River — a short taxi or Grab ride, or a 25-30 minute walk.
Hours: Typically open daily, roughly 6am-6pm.

Po Nagar is a cluster of Cham temple towers built between the 8th and 13th centuries, dedicated to the goddess Yan Po Nagar, and among the best-preserved examples of Cham religious architecture still standing in Vietnam. Unlike the more ruined and war-damaged My Son Sanctuary further north, several of the towers here remain largely intact and are still used for active worship by both ethnic Cham and Vietnamese visitors today.

Its hilltop position overlooking the Cai River and Nha Trang's harbor adds a scenic element beyond the towers themselves, and it's a quick, easy stop given its proximity to central Nha Trang.
