One of the most favourable experiences that visitors prefer is walking along the Han River, where famous bridges such as the Dragon Bridge, Tran Thi Ly Bridge, and Love Bridge gather.

Helpful Tips to Visit Danang in April
A memorable and complete holiday is the outcome of careful preparation. Here are some tips that were collected from travellers’ experiences that you should note down when planning a trip to Danang in April:
Choose the suitable outfits: As mentioned above, Danang weather in April is quite pleasant and comfortable. Although it’s not scorching like the summer months, the sunlight of the central region is still quite “harsh” at noon, so don’t forget to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, or a light sun-protective shirt. Clothing should be comfortable, with priority given to cool, absorbent materials such as cotton or linen. If you plan to visit spiritual sites such as Linh Ung Pagoda, the Marble Mountains or participate in the Quan The Am festival, you should prepare polite clothing, such as shirts with sleeves and skirts/long pants, to show respect.
Plan ahead attractions you want to visit: Although Danang is a compact city, it takes a lot of time to explore its beaches, mountains, and the city centre. Therefore, you should make a preliminary plan in advance to optimise your time. Places such as Son Tra Peninsula, the Marble Mountains, Ba Na Hills… are quite far from each other, so if you go in a day, you need to arrange the order reasonably. Applications such as Google Maps or local booking apps such as Klook and Traveloka provide helpful information in locating and comparing schedules. It would be easier to plan your itinerary with the help of a trustworthy travel agency. Please contact us if you need any assistance in tailoring your holiday to Danang in April.
Getting around Danang by Xanh SM
Getting around the city: In Danang, technology taxis such as Grab, Be, and Xanh SM are very popular. You can find them in the streets and book them on the app. If you like flexibility, you can rent a motorcycle (about 120,000 to 150,000 VND per day). Or if you travel as a group of friends or family, you should opt for car rental or private car booking. Please reach out to our Danang car rental service for smooth and flexible travel around Danang.
Book hotels and visit fees in advance: Because April coincides with the Hung Kings Commemoration Day holiday, Vietnamese Independence Day and Labour Day, the city can get crowded, especially in famous tourist attractions. Therefore, if you are going to visit Danang at this time, it is best to book hotels 2-3 weeks in advance for more options about prices and locations.
Respect local culture: Despite being well-known for friendliness and hospitality, Danang people also highly value politeness and community awareness. When visiting public places or temples or participating in festivals, remember to maintain hygiene and avoid speaking loudly or dressing inappropriately. In markets or residential areas, if you want to take photos of people or special items, don’t hesitate to ask for permission first. This not only shows respect but also makes it easier for them to share interesting stories.
In conclusion, a friendly and energetic Danang awaits you every April, where nature, people and culture blend together in a gentle yet captivating way.
