Da Nang or Danang, Vietnam has a busy international airport and a popular beachside location in central Vietnam. The city also has its own train station and is close to beautiful UNESCO-listed Hoi An Ancient Town, making it an important transit point for most people travelling to Hoi An. Da Nang is incredibly popular with expats, boasting long sandy beaches, cheap apartments and good food options. But is Da Nang worth visiting? A lot of expats and digital nomads choose to live there, but is it really a good place to stay?<\/p>\n

We chose to base ourselves in Hoi An for months so we\u2019ve visited Da Nang many times both as a young couple and later with our kids. We know this area, and Vietnam, very well, for foreigners. All opinions and reviews are our own. This post may contain affiliate links.<\/em> We were last in Vietnam in 2026 and will be back in 2027.<\/p>\n

About Danang \u2013 Things You Need To Know<\/span><\/h3>\n

Da Nang seafront and beach on a stormy day. As you can see, everything is modern and newly built. The buildings behind the beach are mostly large restaurants. Similarly, the road is new, wide and uncongested. Behind the road are high-rise modern hotels. I took this photo from our hotel\u2019s roof.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Danang is a large modern city with a lot of development, with more construction ongoing. Da Nang aims to be the \u201cThe Singapore of Vietnam.\u201d Right now it has very little in common with Singapore other than high rise buildings, but there is so much building work going on that it may happen.<\/p>\n

Most of Da Nang is new and modern. If you like the history and culture of old Vietnam, minus the highrises, go elsewhere. For modern convenience, you should pick Da Nang. For Old Vietnam, we highly recommend Hanoi<\/a>, Hoi An or Saigon<\/a>, even Hue.<\/p>\n

Because Da Nang is mostly modern, the roads are wide and the traffic is much more free-flowing than in some parts of Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Da Nang city is on either side of the H\u00e0n River, with riverfront walking esplanades stretching from the mouth of the river to the famous Dragon Bridge. This whole are is well lit at night and on weekends the dragon spews both fire and water. It\u2019s pretty spectacular. <\/p>\n

Where To Stay in Da Nang?<\/span><\/h3>\n

We found that hotels in Da Nang were very cheap and had a lot of availability. Hotels along the beach front are high rise and many were brand new. We were the first guests to stay in our hotel room, it was huge and immaculate. We used this hotel behind the beach with amazing sea views.<\/a> <\/p>\n

For a luxury 5-star resort, try the The InterContinental Sun Peninsula Danang<\/a> on Son Tra Peninsula (AKA Monkey Mountain), north of My Khe Beach a beautiful and more secluded setting than the long sandy strip of Da Nang beach.<\/p>\n

Because of Da Nang\u2019s central location in Vietnam and good transport connections, it\u2019s easy to explore more of Vietnam from here.

We have another post listing the things to do in Da Nang, we give our top 10, <\/a>but here\u2019s a quick overview list of possible activities.<\/p>\n
