The Danang peak season, or Da Nang peak tourist season, is June to August, when Vietnamese families are on summer holidays and the fireworks festival takes place, and also around Lunar New Year and the 30 April–1 May holidays. Hotels and Ba Na Hills tickets sell out quickly at these times, so book well in advance.
What to do in the dry season
Enjoy My Khe Beach, often listed among the world’s most beautiful city beaches, with swimming, parasailing, jet skiing and stand-up paddling. Visit the hillside pagodas such as Linh Ung on the Son Tra Peninsula, explore the Marble Mountains, and take the cable car to Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge.
The Da Nang International Fireworks Festival usually runs on several weekends between late May or June and July, with international teams competing over the Han River; check the dates for your year and book river-view hotels early.
For adventure, go trekking and swimming at Gieng Troi in the hills west of the city, or ride the scenic Hai Van Pass, one of Vietnam’s most beautiful coastal roads.
Travel tips for the dry season
- Dress light: cotton clothes, a hat and comfortable shoes; bring a light jacket for Ba Na Hills, which is much cooler.
- Sun protection: sunscreen and sunglasses are essential from May to August.
- Book early: June to August and public holidays are the busiest times.
