Not just a list.
A clear way to choose.
Set daily anchors
Choose one main place, one good meal and one free window each day. That structure survives heat, showers and spontaneous discoveries.
Group by area
Treat My Khe, Hai Chau, Son Tra and the southern coast as separate arcs. Give distant destinations their own days.
Keep an equal alternative
If the sea, pass or cable car is unavailable, switch to a market, museum, food route, cafe or spa. The backup is part of the itinerary.
Do not optimise everything
A second sunset or favourite cafe can be more valuable than one more attraction. A strong route leaves energy for tomorrow.

Save start and return addresses offline.
03
Leave 20–30% of each day unscheduled.

Do not plan two long day trips back to back.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions

Three full days cover the beach and centre, Son Tra, then Hoi An or a relaxed day. Five to seven days allow Hai Van, Ba Na Hills and weather flexibility.
What should I do in Da Nang in three days?+
Day 1: My Khe, the centre, Cham Museum and Han River. Day 2: Son Tra and Linh Ung Pagoda. Day 3: Hoi An, or Marble Mountains and the beach.
What is a good five-day Da Nang itinerary?+
Alternate city and longer days: Da Nang → Hai Van and Lang Co → Ba Na Hills → Hoi An → Son Tra or a free day. Change the order for weather.
Is Hue a good day trip from Da Nang?+
It is possible but dense because of the drive and the scale of the historic sites. An overnight stay gives a calmer experience and less late-return pressure.
