Vietnam Da Nang

Da Nang

Coastal city in Vietnam famed for sandy beaches, French colonial port, Marble Mountains, and Dragon Bridge.

Tips from the community

Da Nang sits right after the bend of the bay and has a lot to offer between beaches, street eats, and interestingly lit up high rises. This seaside city has seen increased levels of tourism and has all the same energy of bigger cities with a lot less of the congestion. It’s a formidable place to hang your hat (if it didn’t fly off your bike) after a day of riding through the mountains. If you’re looking for one of the best things to do in Vietnam, head to Ram Casa for a dip in a shipping container swimming pool. Wrap up your trip with a night out in Hoi An: one of our favorite cities in Vietnam.

Although there are benefits to larger cities in Vietnam, such as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang makes the list for its ease in livability while maintaining all that you could want in a big city. For starters, it’s relatively undiscovered, providing cultural immersion without excessive tourist traffic. Ride a motorbike over Hai Van Pass, buy a fresh coconut at the beach, and eat the world’s best pho all in the same day. Cost of living: $1,063 per month WiFi: 8mbps
