The Romantic Destination of Southern Vietnam
Dalat is a city located in the southern part of Vietnam, in the Central Highlands region.
The city enjoys a unique climate thanks to its altitude, which has earned it the nickname “the City of Eternal Spring.” Temperatures never fall below 10°C and never rise above 25°C. This mild weather attracted the French colonial administration, who sought a cool retreat from Saigon’s tropical heat. It was the famous physician Alexandre Yersin who first introduced this remarkable region at the end of the 19th century. A few years later, Dalat became Indochina’s first hill station.
Today, with its ideal climate for flower and fruit cultivation, Dalat is a favorite destination for travelers, especially Vietnamese visitors. Known as the “City of Flowers,” it is also celebrated as Vietnam’s “City of Love,” where many couples choose to spend their honeymoon.
There is much to explore in and around Dalat — it is not just a city but a whole region filled with fascinating sites. Highlights include the “Crazy House,” an audacious architectural project reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland; Lang Biang Mountain, said by legend to be the birthplace of the Lat ethnic group; and the colonial-era train station with its vintage train still in operation.
We also recommend spending time in the city’s eco-friendly cafés, a great way to truly appreciate what makes Dalat so unique.

Nature and Discovery in Vietnam in 12 Days: Lan Ha Bay by Junk, Ninh Binh, Pu Luong Reserve, the Highlands, and Whale Island for an Authentic Experience
“Mathieu was truly wonderful. A big thank you for all the flawless arrangements! We had an amazing cruise with so many beautiful memories 🥰 – the crew was incredibly friendly, and all the activities were very well organized.”
“An effective agency and more … We discovered Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Min through Hue and Hoi An thanks to the excellent services. To choose the tour I had excellent exchanges with the agency throughout the preparation of the trip so that it fits what we wanted. We had three different guides. All friendly and speaking English very well. The drivers were professional (and you have to be to get around Vietnam),very attentive and punctual.”
“Such a great experience! They organised a transfer from our homestay in Tam Coc, Ninh Binh, directly to Cat Ba. We did the Lan Ha Bay cruise, spending 2 days and 1 night around. This bay is beautiful and quiet, indeed we didn’t meet too many boats so we appreciated the panorama 100%. Our boat was beautiful and we shared the cruise with another couple, so it is the best choice if you are looking for a peaceful experience”
“EXTRAORDINARY Agency I called on them for a cruise on September 23rd in the evening to ask for a place for a cruise on the 24th (my birthday) not only did they take care of my return from sapa to Hanoi that same evening, on the 24th on the boat all the crew knew about my birthday, they wished me, also made me a surprise cake in the evening. The stay on the boat was so amazing that I added an extra night , without being a ray of sun, he smiles all the time and pampers us throughout the cruise.”
“The agency took great care of us, answering all our questions and showing real flexibility. We went on a cruise in Lan Ha Bay aboard the Quatre Saisons junk. The boat was comfortable and clean, the food was delicious, and the scenery absolutely stunning. We didn’t come across many other boats along our route, which made the experience even more special. The activities were well organized and done in small groups, which we really appreciated.”
“Exceptional service and magnificent organized tours ! We’re Swiss and took advantage of Parfum d’Automne’s offers to visit Cat Ba, Lan Ha Bay, next to Halong Bay, and the Pu Luong region in the northwest mountains of Vietnam. It was fantastic! We met a lot of great locals, not least thanks to the guides and tours organized by the agency.”
