Getting there & around
From the airport
Da Nang International Airport (DAD) is the main airport and sits very close to the city. There is no train or metro link. For first arrivals, use an official taxi, Grab, or a hotel transfer: about 10-15 minutes to Hai Chau/Han River, 15-25 minutes to My Khe or An Thuong, and 25-40 minutes to Non Nuoc depending on traffic. Local buses may run near the airport on surrounding streets, but routes and stops change and are less convenient with luggage.

Around the city
Da Nang has no metro. Most visitors use Grab/taxis for cross-town trips, walk along the beach or Han River areas, and use local buses for slower budget travel; single bus fares are usually small and paid on board. There is no essential tourist transit card or pass, so use cash, Grab, Google Maps, and the DanaBus app/site for bus routing. For Hoi An, Ba Na Hills, or Son Tra viewpoints, book a car, shuttle, tour, or licensed motorbike only if you are confident and legally covered.

Dining
Thìa Gỗ
This two-storey oasis away from the bustling main strip features al fresco seating in a lush green setting. Scan the QR code to learn more about the menu and Vietnamese food in general. Phố nam is a must-try with noodles in a clear beef bone broth loaded with flavours. Order the thập cẩm version to try all beef cuts. Bánh xèo miền tây is another popular choice with crispy pancakes and a generous filling. Cheerful, friendly front-of-house team.
WebsiteLê Gia Khang (Ngũ Hành Sơn)
This shop specialising in Huế-style bún bò makes its robust, savoury broth fresh every day. Pick from four toppings including the signature xí quách: the large L-shaped beef bone lends deep flavour and a wealth of textures – meat, cartilage and fatty edges. For a more varied bowl, try the thập cẩm, which comes with beef blood curd, pork loaf and tendon; the thinly sliced beef tongue is tender and delicate. Arrive early as beef bone availability is limited.
Indian Aroma
Following its relocation, the restaurant now occupies three floors, offering a more spacious and comfortable setting. The exotic Indian-inspired design adds character, while the kitchen remains true to authentic traditional flavours. An experienced Indian chef helms the kitchen and his extensive menu features iconic dishes from the north to the south of his homeland. Kick off your meal with a refreshing papadam dipped in mint chutney. Then try the saag ghosh, a lamb and spinach curry from Northern India, even better with garlic naan to mop up the creamy sauce.
WebsiteQuán Nhân
People flock here for its famous duck porridge. A local duck breed from Cẩm Nam Island, rice, mung beans and coix seeds are slowly simmered in duck broth for a creamy, hearty meal. Poached duck and duck salad are also available.
Bé Ni 2
This bustling, casual spot is open 24/7 – come for rice dishes during the day and seafood at night. Most of the shellfish is sourced locally and the owner ensures the quality is top-notch. Take your pick from the live fish tank and specify how you want it cooked. The grilled shrimp has impressive smoky aromas and simple seasoning that allows the natural umami to shine through. The appetisers, such as quail eggs and poached peanuts, are perfectly made.
Cô Chủ Nhỏ
This stall sells all things duck. Duck porridge is made with rice and mung beans in a duck broth. Poached duck boasts firm, flavourful meat. When tossed with green mango, green banana, fig and herbs, it makes a refreshing salad.
Bánh Xèo 76
Bánh Xèo 76 has a charcoal grill at the entrance for grilling pork. The menu includes classic Vietnamese dishes such as pancakes, corn rolls and noodles with grilled pork. Made from fresh corn and bursting with flavour, the homemade corn rolls are encased in a thin, crispy golden skin.
Bún Bò Bà Rơi (Hoà Cường)
The family, who hails from Huế, opened this shop in 2014 to sell Huế’s version of bún bò, or beef noodle soup. The umami-loaded broth with beef meat and bones simmers overnight, building balanced, big-boned flavours. They use medium thick rice noodles. Popular toppings include beef tendon, rib, brisket and tongue, as well as pork trotters and crab balls. If you want to sample all the toppings, opt for the đặc biệt version.
