When is beach season in Da Nang?
Roughly February to August is sunny and good for swimming. From about September to December the central coast has heavy rain and possible storms, and the sea can be rough. Follow lifeguard flags on the beach.
How far is Hoi An from Da Nang?
Hoi An Ancient Town is about 45 minutes by car from Da Nang city. Many visitors stay in one and visit the other as a day or evening trip; Hoi An is best in the evening when the lanterns are lit.
Where and when should I take photos in Hoi An?
Hoi An looks best at two times: early morning when the streets are empty, and early evening when the lanterns come on.
- 6–8 am: few visitors, easy shots of yellow walls and bougainvillea.
- 5:30–7 pm: lanterns light up; the Japanese Covered Bridge and Hoai River are at their best.
- Releasing a floating lantern on the Hoai River at night is a popular activity.
- Rice fields and the Bay Mau coconut forest (Cam Thanh) are about 15 minutes from the old town.
Note: entering the old town requires a sightseeing ticket; evenings are crowded, so hold your phone tightly.
Do I need a visa to visit Vietnam?
It depends on your passport. Some nationalities can enter visa-free for a set number of days; everyone else can apply online for an e-visa, valid for up to 90 days. The list of visa-free countries changes, so check the official e-visa portal before you book. Apply only on the official government site: look-alike agency sites charge extra fees.
