Tourist Tips

While Da Nang has long been a favorite vacation spot for locals, its popularity among international tourists has been rapidly growing. For first-time visitors, Da Nang’s long shoreline provides an ideal setting for morning jogs or leisurely strolls to clear the mind after hours at the poker tables. And since the city faces east, sunrises over the ocean are nothing short of spectacular.

Beyond the beaches, Da Nang is home to the famous Marble Mountains, a natural wonder within city limits. The hike through its caves and peaks is accessible and rewarding. Outside of the city, Ba Na Hills is a must-see tourist destination the home of the longest cable car in the world. In the evening, visiting the bustling night markets is highly suggested as the seafood is affordable and straight from the sea.

In terms of accessibility, most players will have to fly into Ho Chi Minh Airport then take a domestic flight to Da Nang. Some countries may have direct flights. Be sure to check on visa requirements as most countries need to apply. Visa on arrival is also available however that means waiting in line upon arrival.
