Sitting along the glinting central-eastern coast, Vietnam's third largest city is a shapeshifter, morphing from an idyllic sunspot to a vibey nightlife hub in an instant. But, if you seek it out, there is fascinating history and astounding natural beauty to discover too. Its location means gorgeous beaches to lounge upon and a wad of water sports to match, as well as tastebud satisfying seafood. To the south are the splendid Marble Mountains, where overgrown hiking trails lead amidst mystical caves and elegant pagodas, while the fairytale buildings of Ba Na Hills are just a cable car ride away — this is where you'll find the iconic Golden Bridge, held up by a pair of giant hands.
Da Nang shows off the diversity of Vietnam with real aplomb from its delightful beaches to the rip-roaring food scene.
Hike into the forests of the Son Tra Peninsula and the aptly nicknamed 'Monkey Mountain', home to long-tailed macaque, slow loris and over 1,000 endangered red-shanked douc.
Da Nang attracts quite the party crowd so it's best to choose your accommodation according to your tastes.
