1. Introduction to Da Nang?
Da Nang, located in the heart of Vietnam’s central coast, is perfectly positioned between the country’s northern and southern regions. Framed by lush mountains to the west and a long stretch of pristine beaches along the East Sea to the east, the city enjoys a stunning natural setting, making it an ideal stop for multi-week trips.
Since July 2025, Da Nang has merged with Quang Nam Province to become the new Da Nang City, now covering 11,859.59 km² and home to approximately 3,065,628 people. This merger not only expanded the city’s territory but also gave Da Nang full ownership of two UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites: Hoi An Ancient Town and My Son Sanctuary. Combined with its diverse landscapes — beaches, islands, mountains, rivers, and urban centers — Da Nang now offers an exceptionally rich tourism ecosystem, from seaside resorts and cultural exploration to island-hopping, river adventures, and rural village tourism.
Thanks to its unique geography, you can experience multiple landscapes in a single day: watch the sunrise over the ocean in the morning, trek through forested mountains by afternoon, and enjoy rooftop cocktails overlooking the city skyline by night.
Da Nang itself is clean, modern, and easy to navigate, a refreshing contrast to the hectic pace of bigger cities. But beyond its scenic coastline and famous bridges, the city boasts a deep and layered history. Once part of the ancient Champa Kingdom, Da Nang was a thriving cultural and trade hub as early as the 2nd century, with remnants still preserved at My Son Sanctuary and the Cham Sculpture Museum. Under French colonial rule, it was known as Tourane, and traces of colonial architecture still grace its streets.
Today, Da Nang stands out as one of Vietnam’s most traveler-friendly destinations. It offers modern infrastructure, international flights, high-speed internet, and world-class accommodations, yet retains a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Along its beautiful coastline, you’ll find a wide range of options from luxury resorts like InterContinental, Hyatt Regency, and Four Seasons to boutique hotels with private beaches and rooftop pools. Many resorts also provide spa treatments, beach bars, and curated tours, letting you sink into a worry-free holiday. Best of all, most properties are just a short drive from the airport and city center, blending convenience, comfort, and serenity.
2. Best time to visit Da Nang
Da Nang’s appeal stretches throughout the year, but the experience you get can vary depending on when you visit. The city has a tropical monsoon climate, split into two main seasons: the dry season from February to August, and the wet season from September to January.
The dry season in Da Nang is undoubtedly the most popular time to visit. From February to May, Da Nang enjoys warm days,low humidity, and plenty of sunshine. The temperatures range from 24°C to 30°C (75°F to 86°F). It’s ideal for sightseeing and relaxing on the beach without the intensity of mid-year heat. From June to August, the temperature rises to around 30°C to 35°C (86°F to 95°F), also more humid. While it can feel hotter, these months are most ideal for swimming, island trips, and enjoying the city’s vibrant summer atmosphere. Da Nang truly comes alive, especially with events like the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) typically held in June or July, which attracts both international tourists and domestic travelers enjoying their summer holidays.
In contrast, the wet season in Da Nang, running from September to January, brings more rain and a slight dip in temperature.
Expect frequent, though often brief, downpours in October and November, with temperatures ranging between 24°C and 28°C (75°F to 82°F). It’s still warm, but rain may occasionally disrupt beach plans or outdoor activities. If you're not put off by a few showers, this time of year can be a rewarding choice. The city is quieter, prices are lower, and the surrounding countryside takes on a lush, vivid green.
By December and January, things begin to dry out, and the weather becomes cooler and more comfortable — around 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) — making it a good time for cultural experiences, food tours, or countryside excursions.
If your plans are flexible, consider timing your visit around one of Da Nang’s major cultural events. The Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) typically takes place in June or July, transforming the city into a spectacle of colour and music, while Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year), which usually falls in late January or February, offers a more traditional, family-oriented atmosphere. Just be aware that some businesses may close during Tet, and accommodations tend to book out early.
So when is the best time to visit?
It depends on your travel style. For sun-soaked holidays with minimal rain, March to May offers the best balance. For lower prices and fewer crowds, late February or September is ideal. And if you want to experience the city during peak cultural celebrations, aim for summer festivals or Lunar New Year — just plan and book ahead.
3. How to get there & around
Getting to Da Nang
By flight
Da Nang is home to Da Nang International Airport(DAD), one of the busiest airports in Vietnam. It handles both domestic and international flights, with direct connections to major cities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and more.
The airport serves as a primary gateway for international travelers exploring not only Da Nang but Central Vietnam also. For domestic travel, it has frequent daily flights from key cities. For instance, the flight from Hanoi (HAN) takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes, while the flight from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) is only slightly longer at around 1 hour and 25 minutes. Major domestic airlines like Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, and Bamboo Airways operate on these routes. The airport is just a 10–15 minute drive from the city centre and most beachfront hotels, making arrival incredibly convenient.

Getting around Da Nang
Da Nang is a very manageable city, whether you're staying downtown, at the beach, or exploring outlying areas.
The road to InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort on Son Tra Pennisula
Taxis and Ride-hailing apps
For short distances, Grab (Southeast Asia’s version of Uber) is widely used and reliable. You can book cars or motorbikes through the app, and fares are typically affordable. Taxis are also available, though it’s best to go with reputable companies like Mai Linh or Vinasun.
Motorbike
If you’re feeling adventurous, renting a motorbike is a unique way to explore at your own pace. The rental price typically ranges from 100,000 - 200,000 VND per day (around $4 - $8 USD), depending on the type of bike and the rental duration.Just be sure to carry an international driving permit and wear a helmet. For more comfort and peace of mind, many travelers opt for private drivers or custom tours — especially if you’re heading to places like Ba Na Hills, My Son Sanctuary, or the Cham Islands.
Bicycles and electric car
Da Nang has some beautiful coastal roads and dedicated bike lanes in certain areas. This is a great option for those who want to explore the beach area in an eco-friendly way. Many hotels also offer bicycle rentals, often for free.
The expanded Da Nang now offers even more ground to cover, but you’ll find that getting from beach to mountain, or city to ancient town, still takes under an hour in most cases and the roads are in good condition, especially along the coast.
4. Unique attractions only in Da Nang
Marble Mountains (Ngũ Hành Sơn)
The Marble Mountains are an unmissable destination on any 3-day Da Nang itinerary. It's a destination that harmoniously blends natural wonders with ancient spiritual stories.
Just a 20-minute drive from downtown Da Nang, the Marble Mountains are a cluster of five limestone and marble hills named after the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
In 1825, King Minh Mang named it Ngũ Hành Sơn (its Vietnamese name till now). Because the mountains are composed of marble, the French later named them the "Marble Mountains", and the name has become world-famous.
This spiritual site is dotted with ancient pagodas, hidden caves, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the coastline. Within the cluster, Thuy Son is the largest and most impressive mountain. While you can take a glass elevator straight to the top, my advice is to spend time climbing the stone steps. This journey itself is an adventure in which you’ll find beautiful Buddhist shrines, tranquil pagodas and mysterious caves nestled into the caves along the way.
One of the highlight spots here is Huyen Khong Cave - a massive cavern with a natural skylight in its ceiling. When sunlight pierces through the rock, it creates a magical glow that shines down on the Buddha statue below, forming a truly sacred and surreal scene. Another fascinating place is Am Phu Cave (Hell Cave), which depicts the Buddhist realms of heaven and hell. It’s a slightly eerie but unique experience that's definitely worth checking out.
A trip to the Marble Mountains will not only give you stunning photos but also a sense of peace and a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture and beliefs. After you descend, you can visit the Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village at the foot of the mountains to find a unique marble souvenir to take home.
Ba Na Hills & Golden Bridge
Located 42 km from Da Nang, Ba Na is both a nature reserve and a resort complex, boasting beautiful natural landscapes, lush green mountains, a world-class amusement park, and impressive architectural works. This hilltop resort complex sits at 1,487 metres above sea level and offers a relaxing retreat with a cool climate year-round. The journey starts with a scenic cable car ride — one of the longest in the world — that takes you above forested valleys and misty cliffs.
The star attraction here is the Golden Bridge, an architectural marvel held up by two giant stone hands. It’s one of the most photographed landmarks in Vietnam. But Ba Na Hills isn’t just about the bridge. You’ll find French-inspired buildings, flower gardens, cobblestone streets, a Fantasy park, and European-style cafés. Yes, it’s a bit whimsical and touristy, but also undeniably fun.
This is a great day trip for families, couples, and anyone looking to escape the city for a few hours of light-hearted adventure and jaw-dropping views. Do bring a jacket — the temperature at the top can be 10°C cooler than in Da Nang.
Dragon Bridge (weekend fire/water show)
Stretching across the Han River in the centre of the city, Dragon Bridge is one of Da Nang’s most iconic modern landmarks. Locals here are incredibly proud of the dragon image on this suspension six-lane bridge. Built to resemble a dragon flying out to sea, it symbolises prosperity and good fortune in Vietnamese culture.
On weekend nights at 9 PM, the dragon comes to life, breathing fire and water in a short but entertaining display. It’s a fun, free spectacle that’s popular with both tourists and locals. For the best view, head to the riverbank or find a rooftop café nearby. Don’t stand too close to the dragon’s head unless you’re ready to get soaked. Besides, it is also a fantastic spot to watch the fireworks during the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival, offering a spectacular vantage point for the displays launched right over the Han River.

Linh Ung Pagoda (Lady Buddha)
When people talk about the "Linh Ung Pagoda" in Da Nang, they're usually referring to the one on the Son Tra Peninsula, but there are actually three distinct temples with the same name. Each holds its own special significance. The most famous, and arguably the most breathtaking, is the one on Son Tra.
Perched majestically on a hillside on the Son Tra Peninsula, this Linh Ung Pagoda is both a spiritual site and a serene retreat that offers one of Da Nang’s most spectacular vantage points. Your eyes will immediately be drawn to the Lady Buddha statue, standing at a magnificent 67 meters, one of the tallest in Vietnam, and visible from all across the city. Facing the sea, she stands as a symbol of peace and compassion, believed by locals to watch over fishermen and protect Da Nang from storms.
The temple grounds are meticulously cared for, creating a tranquil atmosphere. You'll discover peaceful courtyards, elegant bonsai trees, and quiet lotus ponds. On a clear day, the rewards are immense, with sweeping panoramic views of the city's coastline, bustling skyline, and the verdant hills that frame this extraordinary place.

Cham Sculpture Museum
If you’re interested in ancient history, don’t miss the Cham Sculpture Museum, located right in the city centre. It holds the world’s largest collection of Champa art, with over 2,000 unique sculptural artifacts ranging from sandstone carvings to altars and statues, many of which date back to the 7th to 15th centuries.
The majority of the artifacts are art works with immense historical and cultural value, beautifully reflecting the development stages of the Champa civilization. A number of these artifacts have also been recognized as National Treasures. The museum has been expanded multiple times since its founding in 1915 to accommodate its continuously growing collection. Among its most famous pieces are the Tara Bodhisattva statue, the My Son E1 Pedestal, and the collection of artifacts from Tra Kieu.
The museum offers a quiet, air-conditioned escape from the city bustle and a chance to understand more about the civilisation that shaped central Vietnam long before modern cities rose. It’s a great prelude to visiting My Son Sanctuary, where many of these artifacts originated.
5. Da Nang’s best beaches
My Khe Beach
Da Nang’s coastline is one of the city’s biggest draws. With over 30 kilometres of sandy shoreline, calm blue waters, and a growing collection of stylish beach resorts and cafés, clubs, My Khe Beach Da Nang is the kind of place where you can easily spend an entire day doing everything or just relaxing.
With its soft, pale sand and gentle waves, My Khe Beach is a favourite for sunbathing, swimming, and long, lazy walks at sunset. In the morning or late in the afternoon, locals gather for yoga, jogging, or playing beach football.
Non Nuoc Beach
Just south of My Khe, Non Nuoc Beach is quieter and more refined, with a more exclusive feel thanks to the luxury resorts that line the coast. The water is clear, the sand is powdery, and the atmosphere is calm — perfect for those who prefer peace over crowds. Non Nuoc is also close to the Marble Mountains, making it a convenient stop for a morning hike followed by an afternoon of relaxation. Many of the high-end resorts here offer private beach access, poolside cocktails, and full spa services.
Bac My An Beach
Located between My Khe and Non Nuoc, Bac My An Beach blends accessibility with a more local vibe. It’s popular among both tourists and Da Nang residents, and tends to feel less commercial than My Khe. If you’re staying at one of the resorts or boutique hotels along this stretch, you’ll enjoy easy beach access with fewer crowds, especially on weekdays.
Da Nang’s beaches are clean, safe, and swimmable year-round, although the best beach weather is typically from March to August. Lifeguards are present at major beaches, and facilities like changing rooms, showers, and sunbed rentals are widely available. Unlike other popular Southeast Asian beach destinations, Da Nang’s beaches are often peaceful rather than party-filled. You’re more likely to see families, fitness groups, and travelers reading by the shore than loud nightlife or beach bars.

Hidden gems & local experiences
Han Market
For a taste of daily life in Da Nang, head to Han Market, a bustling spot where locals shop for everything from fresh produce and dried seafood to clothes, souvenirs, and household items. It’s not polished or curated, and that’s exactly why it’s worth visiting.
Wander the aisles, try local snacks like sesame crackers or dried squid, or pick up hand-embroidered textiles and Vietnamese coffee to take home. You may like to haggle, keep it friendly and bring cash in small denominations. Even if you don’t buy anything, Han Market gives you a genuine slice of city life in just one visit.

Local café scenes & rooftop views
Da Nang has a growing café culture that rivals bigger cities, with everything from chic coffee houses to hole-in-the-wall spots serving traditional Vietnamese drip coffee. Try a salt coffee - a local favorite that blends strong black coffee with a salty-sweet cream topping. One address worth trying is 43 Factory Coffee Roaster. It’s a minimal, modern space serving specialty brews sourced from across Vietnam.
To get a panoramic view of the city and coastline, head to a rooftop bar like:
Sky36 Bars & Lounge – known for its glamorous and lively atmosphere, especially after dark.
Brilliant Top Bar – a more relaxing option, perfect for enjoying a quiet sunset.

7. Da Nang’s nearby destinations
Hai Van Pass
Often called one of the most scenic coastal roads in Southeast Asia, the Hai Van Pass connects Da Nang to Hue. With panoramic ocean views on one side and misty mountains on the other, this stretch of road is a must for photographers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking that feeling of freedom on the road.
You can experience it by renting a motorbike and riding the pass yourself, or booking a private car with stops for photo ops. Along the winding road, you can stop to visit the old French and American bunkers at the summit, especially the magnificent views of Lang Co Bay and Da Nang’s skyline behind you.
Hoi An
Now officially part of Da Nang City, Hoi An Ancient Town is still one of Vietnam’s most beloved destinations. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is known for its lantern-lit streets, preserved merchant houses, traditional craft villages, and riverside cafés.
What to do:
- Stroll the ancient town at night when the lanterns glow
- Visit a local tailor and have custom clothes made in 24 hours
- Take a basket boat ride through the coconut forests of Cam Thanh Village
- Explore the rural countryside by bicycle or scooter
To immerse into the charm, history, and top experiences of this heritage Site, check out our complete guide to Hoi An Ancient Town.
My Son Sanctuary
Located about 1.5 hours from Da Nang, My Son Sanctuary is a former religious capital of the Champa Kingdom and a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Set in a lush jungle valley, it features more than 70 red-brick temples and towers dating back to the 4th century. This site offers a deep dive into Vietnam’s pre-Vietnamese history, blending Hindu architecture, mystical symbolism, and stories of war, resilience, and preservation.
Consider visiting with a guide or joining a small-group tour to get the full context or, if you're booking with IZITOUR, you can request a custom itinerary with a professional tour guide.
Cu Lao Cham (Cham Islands)
Cham Islands offer white-sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and relaxed island life, all just an hour away by speedboat. Departures leave from Cua Dai Port (near Hoi An), and the journey takes about 20–30 minutes. You can visit on a day trip or spend a night on the island for a more immersive experience.
The must-do here is snorkeling or diving in protected marine zones. After that, enjoy freshly grilled seafood at beachside shacks. You also can visit local temples and the small island museum by motorbike or on foot, as cars are not allowed. The best time to visit Cham Islands is from March to August. The islands are often closed to visitors during stormy months (October to January).
8. Da Nang food & specialities
Mi Quang
If Da Nang had a signature dish, this would be it. Mi Quang is a turmeric-infused noodle dish served with a small amount of flavorful broth, topped with pork, shrimp, quail egg, roasted peanuts, fresh herbs, and crispy rice crackers. It’s light, aromatic, and packed with texture.
Try it at: Mì Quảng Bà Mua (many locations), or Mì Quảng 1A on Hai Phong Street.
Banh Xeo & Nem Lui
This duo makes for a fun and hands-on meal. Banh Xeo are sizzling rice flour pancakes filled with pork and shrimp, meant to be wrapped in rice paper with herbs and dipped in savory sauce. Pair it with nem lui, lemongrass skewers of grilled pork, and you’ve got a perfect local feast.
Try it at: Bánh Xèo Bà Dưỡng – a Da Nang institution.
Bun Cha Ca
Another local favorite, Bun Cha Ca is a light yet flavorful noodle soup made with firm rice noodles and slices of grilled or fried fish cakes, served in a sweet-savory broth simmered from tomatoes, pineapples, and sometimes pumpkin. Topped with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lime, it’s comforting, refreshing, and uniquely Da Nang food.
It’s especially popular as a local breakfast — and you’ll find small shops serving it all over the city.
Try it at: Bún Chả Cá Bà Lữ (319 Hung Vuong street)
Banh Trang Cuon Thit Heo
This dish is all about balance: thin slices of boiled pork belly rolled with herbs, lettuce, cucumber, and pickled veggies in soft rice paper, then dipped in rich fermented anchovy sauce (mắm nêm). It’s incredibly fresh and full of flavor, like spring rolls.
Try it at: Trần Restaurant – popular with locals and travelers alike.
Seafood by the Beach
Being a coastal city, Da Nang is a paradise for fresh, affordable seafood. You’ll find casual beachfront restaurants offering grilled squid, clams in lemongrass broth, crab, prawns, and fish cooked to order.
For a truly local experience, pick your seafood from a tank, agree on the price, and let them cook it your way.
Try it at: Be Man Seafood Restaurant.

Avocado Ice Cream (Kem Bơ)
This creamy, refreshing dessert has become something of a cult favorite in Da Nang. Ripe avocado is blended with condensed milk and served over scoops of coconut ice cream — strange-sounding, but surprisingly delicious.
Try it at: Chè Xuân Trang – a local go-to.
