From a Korean traveler's perspective, departing from Seoul/ICN, Da Nang is a popular destination for family trips. The long sandy beach (My Khe Beach), theme park (Ba Na Hills), and UNESCO ancient town (Hoi An) are all within a 30-minute to 1-hour drive, making it easy to navigate with kids. If it's your first time in Da Nang for 4 nights and 5 days, the key rhythm is to "relax at a beach resort and combine nearby attractions each day." To summarize: Day 1 at My Khe Beach, Day 2 at Ba Na Hills, Day 3 in Hoi An, Day 4 at Marble Mountains and the city, and Day 5 with a massage before departure. Here’s a breakdown of entrance fees, routes, and budgets based on 2026.
Overview
- Accommodation Location: My Khe Beach resort (family pool) or Han River downtown (convenient for transportation). See hotel cards below.
- Transportation: Grab (taxi app) is affordable and convenient. For Ba Na Hills and Hoi An, consider booking a round-trip taxi or a tour.
- Budget for 4 Nights 5 Days per Person: Approximately 350,000 to 600,000 KRW excluding flights (low cost of living, less burden on resort and meal expenses).
- Recommended Season: Dry season from February to August (ideal for swimming). From September to December, it’s the rainy season with frequent showers.
- Core Rhythm: Beach resort base + day trips to nearby attractions (Ba Na Hills and Hoi An).
Day 1 — My Khe Beach (Arrival + Relaxation)
The long, gentle sandy beach is a symbol of Da Nang. On the first day of arrival, take it easy at the resort pool and beach. There are beach cafes and seafood restaurants lined up, making it a great spot to enjoy dinner with the sunset. If you have kids, a relaxing first day is better for managing everyone’s energy.
Day 2 — Ba Na Hills (Golden Bridge + Theme Park)
A French-style theme park located at an altitude of 1,487 meters. The Golden Bridge, supported by giant hands, is the top photo spot in Da Nang. You can take the cable car (included in the round-trip ticket, usually around 900,000 VND) to the top, where it’s cooler than in the city, making it pleasant even in the summer heat. There are rides, gardens, and indoor game zones, so you can easily spend the whole day there.
Day 3 — Hoi An (UNESCO Ancient Town)
Just a 40-minute drive from Da Nang. This old trading town is beautiful with its yellow-walled alleys and lanterns. During the day, stroll around the Old Town and get a tailored suit, and in the evening, enjoy the lantern streets and wish boats (on the Thu Bon River). You can explore the paid areas with a combined entrance ticket (usually around 120,000 VND). The evening when the lanterns light up is the most picturesque.
Day 4 — Marble Mountains · Da Nang City
Marble Mountains
Five marble mountains with cave temples and viewpoints that can be explored in 1-2 hours. It’s close to My Khe Beach.
Da Nang City — Han River · Da Nang Cathedral
In the evening, enjoy the night view of the Dragon Bridge along the Han River. On weekend nights, there’s a show where the dragon breathes fire. The pink Da Nang Cathedral is also a great photo spot.
Day 5 — Massage Before Departure
Before leaving, unwind with a spa or massage (1 hour for 300,000 to 500,000 VND, much cheaper than in Korea). Da Nang International Airport is close to the city (about a 10-15 minute drive), making it easy to get there.
Where to Stay in Da Nang
For family trips, My Khe Beach Resort (with pool, kids' pool, and breakfast buffet) is the most convenient. If ease of movement is a priority, hotels in Han River downtown are also good options. Below are real-time hotel cards from MyRealTrip and Trip.com. Prices for the same hotel can vary by ±5% between the two sites, so be sure to compare before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Transportation in Da Nang, is it better to rent a car or use Grab?
For family trips, Grab (taxi app) is the most convenient option. Use Grab in the city, and for nearby attractions like Ba Na Hills and Hoi An, you can hire a taxi for half a day or a full day, or join a tour, making it manageable with kids. In Vietnam, traffic drives on the right side, and there are many motorcycles, so I wouldn’t recommend driving yourself.
Q2. If traveling with kids, which is better, Ba Na Hills or Hoi An?
Both are recommended, but if you have to prioritize, active kids might enjoy Ba Na Hills with its many rides, while a calmer family might prefer the beautiful lanterns of Hoi An. If you have 4 nights and 5 days, it’s best to spend a day at each place.
Q3. How about currency exchange and prices?
It’s usually advantageous to exchange dollars in Korea and then convert to Vietnamese Dong (VND) locally. A bowl of pho costs around 40,000 to 60,000 VND, a seafood meal for one person is about 150,000 to 300,000 VND, and a 1-hour massage is 300,000 to 500,000 VND, which is much cheaper than in Korea. Since the numbers are large, you can estimate by "dropping three zeros and halving" to get a sense of the price in KRW.
