1-day Da Nang questions
Is 1 day enough for Da Nang?
Three to four days. This plan fits the main sights into 1 day at a comfortable pace, with a lunch break each day.
Can I change the order of the days?
Yes. Group days by neighbourhood if your hotel is far from a sight, and swap any day if opening hours (many museums close one day a week) or the weather requires it.
What should I book before I go?
Most things can be booked a day or two ahead, but check opening days.
