1. Lam Vien Square
First of all, Lam Vien Square is one of the most iconic landmarks in Da Lat. It is famous for its giant wild sunflower and artichoke bud structures, which have therefore become symbols of the city.
In addition, covering over 72,000 m² and able to host up to 60,000 people, the square is the main venue for festivals, music events, and sports activities. Most importantly, it is a paradise for check-in photos. No matter where you stand, you can easily get dreamy Da Lat-style shots.

2. Cau Dat Tea Hill
Next, Cau Dat Tea Hill is a must-visit spot in Da Lat. With over 100 years of history, it offers endless green tea fields stretching across the hills. As a result, visitors often feel relaxed and peaceful here.
Especially at sunrise and sunset, mist floats through the air, making the scenery even more magical. Besides, you can also learn about Vietnamese tea culture while enjoying the fresh mountain breeze.
3. Tuyen Lam Lake
After that, Tuyen Lam Lake appears as the “green lung” of Da Lat. With an area of more than 320 hectares, it is one of the three most beautiful lakes in the city.
On the one hand, the lake is surrounded by pine forests and dotted with small islands. On the other hand, its calm water reflects the sky like a watercolor painting.
Therefore, visitors can kayak, take photos at the wooden bridge, and explore the dam area with ease.

4. Stairway to Heaven
Meanwhile, the famous Stairway to Heaven is located inside Nong Trai Vui Ve Café. It sits on one of the highest hills in Da Lat.
Not only is the staircase made of white steel, but it also looks like it’s reaching into the clouds. As a result, standing here feels like walking into the sky. For this reason, it’s perfect for surreal and dreamy photos.
5. Tuyet Tinh Coc (The Lost Lake)
Then, about 30 km from the city center, Tuyet Tinh Coc offers a completely different vibe. It was once an abandoned quarry. Over time, rainwater formed a natural underground lake.
Consequently, a stunning emerald-green pool appeared between high rocky cliffs. However, the terrain is difficult and the lake is deep. Therefore, you should visit in the dry season and take safety precautions.
6. Infinity Lake
Infinity Lake is one of the hottest check-in spots in Da Lat. Located inside the Clay Tunnel tourist area, the lake features two giant stone statues of K’Lang and H’Biang, symbolizing eternal love.
The wide water surface creates an “infinity effect,” blending the sky and lake into one stunning view.
Location: Clay Tunnel, Ward 4, Da Lat
Opening Hours: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Ticket Price:
• Adults: 120,000 VND
• Children: 50,000 VND
7. Da Lat Railway Station
Built by the French between 1932–1938, Da Lat Station is one of the most beautiful and oldest railway stations in Vietnam.
It features three triangular roofs inspired by the Langbiang Mountains and traditional Central Highlands houses.
Today, the station serves the scenic route from Da Lat – Trai Mat, taking visitors to Linh Phuoc Pagoda.

8. Chicken Church – Da Lat Cathedral
Da Lat Cathedral is the largest church in the city. It’s called the “Chicken Church” because a big rooster statue sits on top of its bell tower.
Built by the French, this cathedral is one of the most iconic and historic architectural works in Da Lat.
