A former French colonial port and Vietnam’s third largest city, Danang is a vacation hotspot thanks to its stunning scenery, fantastic street food, and historic landmarks. Soak up the sun at tranquil beaches like My Khe and Non Nuoc, explore the caves and Buddhist temples of the majestic Marble Mountains, and tour the well-preserved Hoi An Ancient Town—dating back to the 15th century. Watch the dragon on the iconic Dragon Bridge spew fire every Friday–Sunday night, savor local specialties like Mi Quang (Vietnamese turmeric noodles) at Han Market, and bargain for textiles and handicrafts at Con Market. Ba Na Hills features a replica French medieval town, theme park, and mountain cable car while the Son Tra Peninsula is a national park filled with beaches, rainforests, mountains, and endangered animals like langurs. You can also see sculptures created from the 5th to 15th centuries by the Champa people at the Danang Museum of Cham Sculpture, check out Vietnam’s tallest Buddha statue at the extraordinary Linh Ung Pagoda, and go on a snorkeling expedition at the neighboring Cham Islands.
