3-day Da Nang questions

Is 3 days enough for Da Nang?

Three to four days. This plan fits the main sights into 3 days 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?

Book Hoi An Ancient Town first – they use timed entry or sell out.
