Influenced heavily by the French, the city of Dalat is far from your typical Asian city. The weather is spring-cool instead of tropical hot, and elegant French colonial villas are dotted around the city among fields full of strawberries and flowers rather than rice. Sounds idyllic right? Surrounded by hills, pine forests, lakes and waterfalls, the cool city is known as the “City of Eternal Spring.” Not only is Dalat a beautiful city but it is also full of many adrenaline-fuelled activities which you can enjoy. To help you in planning your trip, here are our top picks for the best places to stay in Dalat for hotels and hostels.
