Da Nang

From MaxTravelz

Da Nang (Đà Nẵng) is Vietnam's fourth largest city, and is located on the South China Sea coast, midway between Hanoi and Saigon.

The city itself has neither the atmosphere of Hanoi nor the hustle-bustle of Saigon, but has its share of sights, and is close to the charms of Hoi An and the imperial capital of Hue.

Understand

Get in

By plane

Da Nang Airport (DAD) is the smallest of Vietnam's three international airports. There are frequent flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City on both Vietnam and Pacific Airlines, as well as limited services direct to Singapore, Bangkok and Taipei. Aside from a money changer, airport amenities are rather minimal, but a departure tax of $8 (also payable in dong) is charged anyway.

The airport is located just 3 km southwest of Danang, a 10-minute trip. Many travellers choose to continue directly to Hoi An (30-45 min, $15) or Hue (2 hours, $35). The fixed-price taxi coupon system has regrettably disappeared and now you have to haggle with the drivers outside, who ask silly prices but can be negotiated down to the amounts above; find a few other travellers to ease the pain.
