Useful tips for visiting Da Nang
Use Grab app for taxis and motorbikes. Fixed prices, no bargaining, safe payment. More reliable than street taxis.
Book Ba Na Hills and Golden Bridge tickets online in advance. Cheaper prices and no queue at gate. Price around 900,000 VND.
Watch Dragon Bridge fire-breathing show on Sat/Sun at 9 PM. Arrive early for good spot. Free!
Show on mapDon't drink tap water. Bottled water is cheap (8,000-15,000 VND) and available everywhere. Always carry a bottle.
Use sunscreen and umbrella. Sun is very strong, especially 10 AM - 3 PM. Even on cloudy days!
Learn basic Vietnamese words: Xin chao (Hello), Cam on (Thank you), Bao nhieu? (How much?). Locals appreciate it!
Try fresh seafood at My Khe Seafood Street. Choose live seafood from tank and specify cooking style. 300,000-500,000 VND per person.
Show on mapBe careful renting motorbikes without international license. Police check tourists. Fine 400,000-800,000 VND. Insurance won't cover accidents.
Bargain at markets, but not at fixed-price shops. Start at 50% of asked price. Smile and stay friendly!
September-November is typhoon season. Check weather forecast before travel. Book hotels with flexible cancellation policy.
