Things to do in Da Nang, Vietnam
Beaches: My Khe Beach: Sightseeing, parasailing, swimming, surfing. This 10km long beach has anything and everything you're looking to find on your perfect beach getaway.
Tours: Lady Buddha: The largest statue in all of Vietnam (Pro Tip — Take a tour near sunset, the crowd is much smaller and gives you an extra sight to behold!)
Sun World Ba Na Hills: One of the most truly unique attractions. Take Asia's longest cable car and explore this park located above the clouds. (Pro Tip — bring a rain jacket. Weather this high in the mountains can be very unpredictable!)
Marble Mountain: Take a tour of Buddhist temples carved straight into a mountain! (Pro Tip — recommended at sunset for the beautiful view!)
Walk the Dragon Bridge: At night, this bridge is a sight to behold right in the middle of Da Nang!
Beer Gardens: Da Nang has a never-ending supply of places to sit back and watch the city pass you by.
Nightlife: Whether your looking for multi-story night clubs or you're feeling lucky and want to press your luck at the casino, Da Nang is one of the few places in Vietnam that comes to life after dark. Most people stop in Da Nang on their way to Hoi An, which I highly recommend visiting. Only a 45-minute drive from the city I recommend spending two days and two nights. However, it can be done with less time! It's the perfect little getaway if you need a break from the fast-paced lifestyle of Vietnam's major hubs!
Places to eat & drink in Da Nang, Vietnam
Esco Beach Da Nang: Can't beat the location! One of the very few buildings located right on the beach. Facing the water with your table overlooking the infinity pool. It has a great atmosphere, food and live music!
My Casa: If you've been in the country for a while and want a little taste of home, I recommend this spot. (Pro Tip- Great for a date night!)
Olivia's Prime: Steakhouse? In Vietnam? Look no further. Right in the center of Da Nang. Prime location for a prime cut.
If you're looking for 5-star dining, then the only place you should be looking is The Temptation. This Michelin star-rated restaurant brings French Cuisine and fine dining right to the heart of Vietnam.
For local cuisine and a local favorite, Bep Coun Da Nang.
