Da Nang is easily one of my favorite places in the world. The mix of urban amenities with incredible nature gives it the perfect balance that you don’t usually see in cities with over 1 million residents.
The international airport is located right in the city so getting to your accommodation once you arrive shouldn’t take you more than 10 minutes, leaving you plenty of time to start exploring the city from the moment you arrive.
This is a type of soup with a rich broth and thick, chewy rice noodles. You can order it with chicken, beef, pork, fish, or even vegetarian. Personally, I recommend fish (mì quảng cá).
While I don’t typically recommend expat neighborhoods to tourists, especially if you only have limited time to see a place, grabbing a drink here will introduce you to locals who speak English and foreigners who have made their home here.
Today is the day for outdoor adventures. Da Nang has plenty to choose from, with a plethora of waterfalls, a great beach, a river, and nearby mountains, you won’t lack incredible views in the fresh, albeit humid, air.
