                              	Vung Tau is the tourist and commercial center of [wiki=97177beec24bd6b78602d0a233d83b07]Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu[/wiki] (an industrial province in Southeastern Vietnam). The whole city area lies on a peninsula which is separated from the mainland by a gulf river called Co May river.                              	                              		HistoryDuring 14th and 15th centuries, the cape that would become Vũng Tàu was an area which European trading ships visited regularly. The ships' activities inspired the name Vũng Tàu, which means "ship's bay" or "anchorage" in Vietnamese. Portuguese navigators who passed Vũng Tàu many times named it Sant'Iago after Saint James. The French, who invaded and took over Vietnam in the mid-19th century named it Cap Saint Jacques (Cape St. James.) The cliff of Vũng Tàu is now called Mũi Nghinh Phong (literally means “Cape of greeting the wind”).

Vũng Tàu was originally referred to as Tam Thắng ("Three Boats") in memory of the first 3 villages in this area: Thắng Nhất, Thắng Nhị, Thắng Tam. It was within the province of Biên Hòa under the Nguyen dynasty, the last imperial house to rule Vietnam.

February 10, 1859 marks the date of the use of cannons by the Nguyen armed forces against the French when they fired at the French battleships from the fortress of Phước Thắng, located 100 m from Vũng Tàu's Front Beach. This marked an important period in Vietnam’s war against French invaders in the Southern most part of Vietnam (then called Cochinchina). Nevertheless, the French succeeded in conquering the southern part of Vietnam by 18 February 1859.

In 1876, according to a decree by the French colonialists, Vũng Tàu was merged in [wiki=5dfeb18fb621af8ff3abef58ee9766bb]Bà Rịa[/wiki] county, a part of Saigon administration (French: Circonscription De Saigon).

On 1 May 1895 the governor of Cochinchina established by decree that Cap Saint Jacques would thereafter be an autonomous town. In 1898, Cap Saint Jacques was merged with Ba Ria County once again but was divided again in 1899.

In 1901, the population of Vũng Tàu was 5,690, of which 2000 persons were immigrants from Northern Vietnam. Most of the town's population made their living in the fishing industry.

On 4 April 1905 Cap Saint Jacques was made an administrative district of Ba Ria province. In 1929, Cap Saint Jacques became a province, and in 1934 became a city (commune).

The French governor of Indochina, Paul Doumer (who later became President of France), built a mansion in Vũng Tàu that is still a prominent landmark in the city.

During the Vietnam War (called the American War in Vietnam), Vũng Tàu was home to the Australian Army and American support units, and was a popular spot for in-country R&R for U.S. combat troops. After the war, Vũng Tàu was a common launching place for the Vietnamese Boat People fleeing the new regime.

On 30 May 1979, Vũng Tàu town was made the capital of [wiki=b3d62b7e082a642c7245e6d60399131d]Vũng Tàu-Côn Đảo Special Admistrative Zone[/wiki].

On 12 August 1991, the province of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu was officially founded and Vũng Tàu town officially became Vũng Tàu city.
Economy and societyThe city is located in the southern part of Vietnam, and is situated at the tip of a small peninsula. It has traditionally been a significant port, particularly during Vietnam's period of French rule. Today, the city's importance as a shipping port has diminished, but it still plays a significant role in Vietnam's offshore oil industry. Vung Tau is the only petroleum base of Vietnam where crude oil and gas exploitation activities dominate the city's economy and contribute principal income to Vietnam's budget and export volume.

Vũng Tàu is home to 210,000 people, of which 1250 are Russians working as specialists in the oil industry.

Phu My Port is a deep-water port able to accommodate ships ranging between 40,000 and 60,000 dwt.Phu My is a commercial port with no towns nearby. A shuttle may be provided to the small town of Ba Ria where you can take a taxi to a larger city like Vung Tau.
ClimateLocated in Southern Vietnam, Vũng Tàu has only two seasons in a year :

* Dry season (November - April) : dry and slightly cooler during winter months and around Tết Holiday. Gets hotter in April.

* Rainy season (May - October) : rainy, but less than Ho Chi Minh City. Usually hot at noon till 3PM. Summer is ideal for sea bathing.

                              	Thanks to recent development in road infrastructure in Southeastern Vietnam, transportation to Vũng Tàu has been much easier. From Ho Chi Minh City, one can get to Vung Tau in three ways.                              	                              		By planeTan Son Nhat International Airport (IATA: SGN ICAO: VVTS) located in Ho Chi Minh City, provides the closest air link to Vũng Tàu. The nation's largest airport, the airport has two terminals : an old functional Domestic terminal and a shiny, pleasant International terminal located just 200 metres away. Both terminals have limited food and services offerings. To get to the City centre, passengers can take either a bus or a taxi.

For details, read [url=http://wikitravel.org/en/Ho_chi_minh_city#Get_in]Ho Chi Minh City#Get in[/url]
By roadVũng Tàu is well-connected to nearby provinces via the National highway network. If you have your own wheels, there are various options to travel to Vũng Tàu. From Ho Chi Minh City, one can get to Vũng Tàu via Route 1 (Quốc lộ 1) and Route 51 (Quốc lộ 51), about 125km or 2 hrs 30 mins. Alternatively, you can take the other route via Cát Lái Ferry and Nhơn Trạch District of Đồng Nai Province before connecting Route 51. In addition, the newly-inaugurated Ho Chi Minh City-Long Thành-Dầu Giây Expressway for a shorter ride.

CautionItalic text : Although road condition is no longer a problem due to effective renovations, the speed limit is still in force in several parts of the Highways (Routes 51, 55, 56) and the Expressway. According to Ministry of Transport Circular no. 13/2009/TT-BGTVT, vehicles with less than 30 seats must not run faster than 40-50 km/h in urban areas (including residential areas along the highway) and 70-80 km/h in the countryside.
By busThere are several bus stations and companies which handle short-distance and long-distance bus services to Vũng Tàu.

Warning, there are many small vans that travel from HCMC to Vung Tau and back but they can be dangerous. I recently took three trips back and forth using Thien Phu Company. All the drivers were texting and constantly on their cellphones. One driver had to be woken up twice and was doing Red Bull to try and stay awake. Additionally, they are delivering mail and packages along the route that can add 30 to 45 minutes to the trip.
By HydrofoilBeginning in December 2014 Hydrofoil re-started service to Vung Tau on a limited basis. You can go on-line and search Vina Cruise for more information.

"Tàu cánh ngầm" aka "Hydrofoil fast ferry" in Vietnam is a quick way to get to and from Vũng Tàu. Taking the Hydrofoil is a good way to see the commerical maritime areas as the boat runs through the Saigon River to the sea. After one hour and 15 minutes, Vũng Tàu peninsula appears with its two mountains (conveniently called "Big Mountain" and "Little Mountain") at the waterfront. This is a little more comfortable way to get to Vung Tau rather than taking the bus. It's a little more expensive at 200,000 VNĐ/person (US$10). On the weekends, be sure to get your tickets at least a day early. You will be lucky to get a ticket if you wait till the day of.

SCAM ALERT

At the ticket counter in Saigon, the cashier sometimes does not want to sell you the return ticket, instead recommending that you buy it when you get to Vung Tau. Once there, the lady at the counter will pretend that all the tickets are gone, and you will be immediately approached by local men willing to sell the tickets with a 100% surcharge, possibly with the complicity of the Ticket counters employees. Make sure you buy the return ticket in Saigon, or accept to be considered as an ATM to the hucksters.

By CARIf you want to get in Vung Tau from Ho Chi Minh airport, you should arrange [url=http://www.yourlocalbooking.com/cars/ho-chi-minh-airport-to-vung-tau-city-transfer-20-22.html]private transfer[/url]. It's faster and cheaper if you take the hydrofoil, but the cost of taxis will actually make having your own car a better idea. Plus having a driver will be helpful in getting where you want once you get there. You can get a car and driver for a little under $100
  
filter_dramaGet around

                              	                              	                              		By taxiTaxis are rather expensive in Vũng Tàu. Prices are 30% higher than Saigon companies, especially along the beaches. Major companies are [url=http://www.vietnamairporttransfer.com/localtransfer_g7-d51_car-rental-in-danang.html]Vietnam Airport Transfer[/url] Gili Taxi, Petro Taxi, Vinasun, and Mai Linh. Petro Taxi by the hydrofoil port will charge five times more than a VinaSun taxi. Be careful of taxi scams where taxis will drive in circles to increase the fare. Also, the meter on Vina Sun and Mai Linh taxis starts automatically. If the driver tries to press any buttons when you get in the car, this will speed up the meter. Ask for the driver to pull over and get out of the car right away.
By motorbikeAs an ordinary Vietnam urban area, Vũng Tàu has plenty of xe ôm (motorbike) drivers who are professional (and unfortunately seek out foreigners). Tourists coming to Vũng Tàu may find out that traffic is slower here, especially during the week. As of December 15th, 2007 all riders in Vietnam are now required to wear helmets an this is strongly enforced. As such, the driver should supply you with a helmet. If he doesn't - find another one, as you'll be the one stuck with the fine. Remember : always agree on a price before you set off.
By double-bikeXe đạp đôi or double-bike (tandem bicycle) has been popular among youth and teenagers of Vung Tau. You can see groups of at least four riding along the windy and green streets and along the coast. A standard double-bike can carry 3 people in which 2 take the ride. You can rent a double bike at the Bãi Trước (Front Beach) Area beside Nhà thiếu nhi (Children Cultural House) or on pavements along the Bãi Sau (Back Beach) near hotels area.
WalkingVũng Tàu is rather small in size, so don't hesitate to take a walk. Recommended ways are : Bacu street (the city's downtown), Đồ Chiểu Street (food center), Trưng Trắc and Trưng Nhị Square, Công viên Bãi trước (Front Beach park) and pavements along the coastline. The only drawback; foreigners are constantly sought after by motorbike drivers, especially if walking alone.

                              	First built in 1907 on the lower peak of Small Mount, it burned kerosene in its lamp. In 1911, it was rebuilt to 3 meters in diameter and 18 meters in height, and moved to the higher peak where it stands today.The Vũng Tàu Lighthouse projects light as far as 35 sea miles (64.75 km) and is equipped with telescopes to follow and direct ships at sea.

Next to the platform, 4 old French cannons (about 10m long and weighing several tons) were once used to defend the area from naval attacks.

The lighthouse affords a panoramic view of the whole of Vung Tau and is a really interesting site. No ticket is needed, but tourists are required to pay 4,000 VND per visit.

* Aka Thang Tam’s Local Gods Communal House, is a special feature in Vũng Tàu. According to legend, it was built in the Minh Mạng dynasty (1820-1840) as a place to worship the three men who set up the 3 villages of Thắng in Vũng Tàu. Visit this site to discover the story of the three men who led three villages’s inhabitants to Vũng Tàu and started a new way of life. The architecture is particularly interesting around the Tam Quan gate, the sanctum, the public commune, the meeting room and the scene for military opera stage that is skillfully engraved. 

The sanctum is roofed with yin-yang tiles and is in the shape of “a couple of dragons joking upon the moon” and the pillars are engraved wit the shapes of dragons. This commune stores twelve pieces of sanction of Nguyễn dynasty.

On the right of Thắng Tam commune is the Whale tomb where there is a set of great bones of whales picked up from 100 years ago and on the left is Ngũ Hành Temple (5 elements of the space: metal, wood, water, fire and the earth).

* A stone obelisk on a hill-top, located on the way to the sea, the Martyr's Memorial hill is said to be the biggest traffic circle in Indochina. A cool hang-out place for lovers.

* The enormous 28m figure of Jesus gazing across the East Sea with outstretched arms is located at the southern end of Small mountain. Built in 1971, this Giant Jesus rests on a 10m high platform. The interior of the statue is hollow and contains a spiral staircase of 129 steps, ascending from the foot of the statue to its neck. The two shoulders of the figure are balconies, each able to accommodate up to six people, which offer a splendid view of the surrounding landscape. This is the largest sculpture in the Southern Vietnam. Recent construction of a pathway has made the 30-minute hike up the mountain more pleasant and the panoramic view from various vista points along the way is magnificent. Definitely a must do!

* Niết Bàn Tịnh Xá and Thích Ca Phật Đài are most popular among the pagodas and temples in Vũng Tàu.

* Built by the French (1898-1916) as a summer holiday house of French Governor General Paul Doumer. The building was named Villa Blanche after his favorite daughter. The name Villa Blanche or Bach Dinh coincides its appearance, for that season, the local people call it Bạch Dinh (White palace). Later, some Indochina-French Governors used this summer house occasionally so it’s also called “Villa du Gouverneur” (Dinh Toan Quyen).

Both Ngo Dinh Diem and Nguyen Van Thieu used it as well for recreation and holiday. It made the name Dinh Ong Thuong (Palace of Lord appear). Villa Blanche is located on the slop of Big Mountain, along Tran Phu St., at 50m above sea level. The outside walls were decorated with beading and the Hellenic statues. This was also the location where the French colonialists placed Thanh Thai Kin under house arrest. He belonged to the last feudalistic dynasty in Vietnam and fought against the French before exiling him to Reunion Island off the coast of Africa (1909-1910). From its balcony there's a panoramic view of Front Beach and opposite the Villa at the foot of that mountain is Hai Nguu islet with a stone rock shaped like a water buffalo wallowing in water. Next to Hai Nguu at the seaside was the helicopter yard. Today Villa Blanche exhibits hundreds of antiques collected from Cau Islet-Con Dao and is the culture destination attracts hundreds of tourists every day.

SwimSeaside status makes Vung Tau a nearby paradise for Saigonners. However, for well-travelled foreigners, expect a bit less. The beach is not all too attractive with litter lining the coast, and most of the sandy eastern beach has signage about dangerous swimming. There are four beaches in the city center located in different positions.

* Bãi Trước (Front Beach)- Located on the center of Vung Tau and stands between Big and Small Mount. Restaurants, kiosks, and hotels are close to the beach. Front Beach is connected through a small park called Front Beach Park. As this lays on the tourist center of the city, most people come here to visit the park and view the sunset.

* Bãi Sau (Back Beach) - Bãi Sau aka "Thùy Vân Beach" is the only standard beach for tourism in Vung Tau. It is 3 kilometer long and streches from the Small Mount to Paradise Park. All beaches here are free although you may cross some "water park" to get to the beach. There are services for keeping your belongings, usually 15,000 VND each person. Umbrella is 30,000 VND, chair 25,000 VND. Fresh water bathe costs 8,000 VND. Sea parachute with canoeing available all day.

* Bãi Dứa (Pineapple Beach)- Small beach located along Hạ Long street, by Small Mount.

RestaurantsWarning- taxi scam

If you take a taxi and ask to go to Ganh Hao or one of the other well-known reputable seafood restaurants, the driver may take you instead to a place called Thuyen Chai. The seafood here is decent if dull, but the prices are outrageously inflated, and are not clearly indicated to customers. You will pay significantly more for lower quality food, and this restaurant only survives by scamming tourists. Insist on being taken to a named restaurant with good reviews, of which there are many in Vung Tau, and avoid Thuyen Chai.

                              	While pick pockets are not that common, theft (usually snatching of bags or purses) is becoming an increasing problem. Visitors should not carry valuables in bags and try to avoid carrying them as much as possible at night, especially in the city center or along front and back beaches. Bags or purses have been known to be snatched off bicycles and even motorbikes as well as pedestrians. This is sometimes followed by violent pushing or hitting to distract the victim and anyone who may be with them, to help the perpetrators get away. This is not as common as it is in Ho Chi Minh City, however the level of theft increases in the time leading up to the national holiday of Tet, as locals brace for the financial crunch of the holiday.
