Da Lat, Vietnam: things to do, prices and tips 2026

Things to do in Da Lat (Vietnam): Crazy House, Linh Phuoc Pagoda. Prices, opening times and the author’s tips.

What to see

🍄Crazy House

A fairy-tale house by architect Dang Viet Nga: root staircases, cave rooms, bridges between the roofs and spider-web windows. Like Gaudí and Tolkien at once.

Price About 100,000 ₫

Insider tip The stairs are narrow and have no rails, so skip the heels. Go at opening time or around 4 pm; at midday there's a queue for photos on the bridges. You can even sleep in some of the rooms.

🐉Linh Phuoc Pagoda

A pagoda covered entirely in mosaics of broken china and bottles. In the courtyard is a 49-metre dragon made of 12,000 bottle bottoms, and inside a 600-kilogram bell and a Buddha made of fresh flowers.

Price Free

Insider tip Climb to the top of the tower for views over the valley and greenhouse fields. On the way, look into Da Lat's old railway station: the vintage train runs right here, to Trai Mat.

🎢Datanla Waterfall

Down to the falls through a pine forest on an alpine coaster at up to 40 km/h.
