Getting around

Grab or taxi for most trips; city buses if you are saving money and have time.

MetroNo metro or tram. Do not plan around rail in the city.
Bus ★19 new, air-conditioned local bus lines with a flat 8,000 ₫ fare inside city limits. Use the DanaBus app or danangbus.vn for routes. Avoid the look-alike danabus.vn site, which has outdated prices.
Taxi / ride apps ★Mai Linh, Vinasun and Song Han are reliable taxi firms. Grab is widely used and shows prices upfront.
Motorbike taxi (xe ôm)Cheap for short hops. Helmets are required by law, so insist the driver gives you one.
Rental carDriving is chaotic, so many visitors hire a car with a driver instead of driving themselves.
Scooter or bike rentalRent a scooter or 4-speed bike near Tran Cao Van. Electric bicycles need no licence and suit city travel.
WalkingWorks well along the beach and in central streets.
FerryNo ferry serves the city.

Recommended stay★ 1 night (2 days)

One night suits you: one day covers the Cham Museum, Marble Mountains, the Dragon Bridge and an evening meal, without a Hoi An trip.

Best for

BeachesMy Khe sand, sunrise swims and seafood by the water.
Street foodMì Quảng, seafood and night markets, all within easy reach.

Landmarks 18

Must-see · 8

1
Ba Na Hills Cable Car
Asia's longest cable car climbs to the Ba Na Hills, a mountain resort with French-inspired architecture and themed gardens. The ride itself offers wide views over the forest and coast. Book tickets in advance and go early in the day to avoid queues at the top.
2
Golden Bridge
A pedestrian bridge held up by giant stone hands, perched on the Ba Na Hills, and one of the most photographed sights in Vietnam. It is best seen early morning, before the crowds and haze build up. Wear comfortable shoes, as the walk includes steps and uneven stone.
3
Sun World Ba Na Hills
The amusement park at the top of the hills, known as Fantasy Park, offers many rides, attractions and themed areas. It is the main reason many visitors stay for a full day. Combine it with the cable car ticket to save time and money.
4
Marble Mountains
A cluster of marble hills with caves, tunnels and Buddhist shrines, with climbs offering views over the coast. It is a short trip from the city centre. Wear sturdy shoes and cover your shoulders when entering temples.
5
Lady Buddha
A huge white statue of the Goddess of Mercy on the Son Tra Peninsula, overlooking the sea and the city. It is one of the most recognisable landmarks in Da Nang. Visit in the morning or late afternoon for softer light and fewer visitors, and dress modestly.
6
My Khe Beach
A long sandy beach with calm water, often cited as one of the best in Vietnam. It is ideal for a relaxed swim or sunset walk. Go in the early morning or late afternoon, as the midday sun is strong.
7
Dragon Bridge, Da Nang
A steel bridge shaped like a dragon that spans the Han River, famous for fire and water displays on weekend nights. It is a lively spot in the evening. Arrive before dark to find a viewing spot along the riverbank.
8
Hai Van Pass
A winding mountain road with dramatic views over the coastline, linking Da Nang with Hue. It is best experienced by motorbike, car or the scenic train. Go on a clear day for the best views, as cloud often covers the summit.

Day trips from Da Nang

Hoi An · 30 min by road

★★★★★ · Half day · 32 km from Da Nang

Best way: A taxi covers the 32 km in about 30 to 45 minutes and drops you near the ancient town, while the bus takes about 1h 30m.

Take a taxi, ride-hailing car, or local bus from Da Nang to Hoi An, which takes about 45 minutes; the ancient town is walkable from the bus stop or drop-off point.

Bus1 h 30 · from $3-$7
Car ★30 min · taxi ≈ 495,000 VND

What to see

Hoi An Ancient Town
Japanese Covered Bridge
Assembly Hall of the Fujian Chinese Congregation
Tan Ky House
Thu Bon River lantern boats

6 landmark quests to check off here

Good to know

The ancient town is best explored on foot, so ask the driver to drop you at its edge.
Visiting in the evening, when the lanterns are lit, is a popular choice.

Hue · 1 h 25 by road

★★★☆☆ · Full day · 95 km from Da Nang

Best way: Trains and buses take about 3 hours each way, and the Citadel and royal tombs are spread out, so a tour handles the last-mile travel best.

Take a train from Da Nang station to Hue station, which takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, or go by car or tour over the Hai Van Pass; Hue's sights are then reached by taxi or cyclo.

Times and prices are typical one-way estimates (train and bus: Omio / Rome2Rio route data; taxi: local tariff × road distance, tolls extra). Exact prices are on the booking page.

Swap in instead

Ba Na Hills: a mountain resort with a long cable car ride. Check prices and opening times on the day.
Hoi An: an old trading town about 45 minutes away by car or taxi, depending on traffic. Good for a half-day or evening.
Marble Mountains: stone caves and small temples close to the beach. Easy to add to a half-day, with a taxi or bike.

Getting around

No metro or tram. The city has 19 local bus lines, all new and air-conditioned, with a flat 8,000 ₫ fare inside city limits.
Use the DanaBus app or danangbus.vn for routes. Avoid the look-alike danabus.vn site, which has outdated prices.
Taxis are reasonable. Mai Linh, Vinasun and Song Han are reliable. Grab is widely used and shows prices upfront.
Motorbike taxis (xe ôm) are cheap for short hops. Helmets are required by law, so insist the driver provides one.
Rent a scooter or 4-speed bike near Tran Cao Van. Driving is chaotic, so many visitors hire a car with a driver.
Electric bicycles need no licence and suit city travel. Walking works well along the beach and in central streets. No ferry serves the city.

Where to stay

My Khe Beach · ≈ VND 1,000,000–3,500,000 a night
Closest to the sand and the seafront walk. Many resorts and mid-range hotels. Good base for beach days.
Hai Chau (District 1) · ≈ VND 600,000–2,500,000 a night
The city centre, near the Dragon Bridge, Han Market and most restaurants. Easy bus and taxi links.
Son Tra Peninsula · ≈ VND 1,500,000–6,000,000 a night
Quiet, green and near the sea. Few shops nearby, so plan on taxis or Grab for dinner. Best for resorts.
Tran Cao Van (Thanh Khe) · ≈ VND 300,000–1,200,000 a night
Budget guesthouses and cafés. Popular with backpackers and the place to rent a scooter or bike.

Food & drink

Try mì Quảng, the local turmeric noodle dish with a little broth, and bánh xèo, the crispy pancake.
Han Market is the easiest place to sample fresh seafood and local snacks in one visit.
Eat at busy local stalls. Pick the places with a queue of locals and plastic stools.
Seafood restaurants along the beach road are good for dinner. Check prices on the menu before ordering.
Ask for water and ice carefully. Stick to bottled water if your stomach is sensitive.
