Da Nang

Start with the number of usable nights, not flight dates alone. Da Nang generally works well with 3–5 days.

Pack for the season and the itinerary rather than the destination name alone. Include comfortable walking shoes, a compact day bag, charging adapters and any weather layer required for day trips.
