Emperor Bao Dai built three large palaces in Dalat. The most-visited is referred to as Dinh 3, built in 1933 in art deco style and set in a pine grove near the Pasteur Institute southwest of the lake. Inside are portraits, busts and sculptures of the deposed imperial family, with the royal living quarters upstairs. Entrance fee 5000d. Other Bao Dai palaces in Dalat, called Dinh 1 and Dinh 2, are sporadically open to the public, but frequently used for government functions. Of the three different palaces, Dinh 1 is the most picturesque. Check with Easy Rider guides to see if it’s open to the public at the time of your visit.
