Check out the pink Da Nang Cathedral

The pink Da Nang Cathedral was built in 1923 and is one of the city's most unique buildings. It's right in the middle of the busy city centre and is contrasted against the towering skyscrapers around it. The church is still used for services today.

What are the dos and don'ts of visiting Da Nang?

Dress more conservatively in Vietnam

The Vietnamese are modest, and it's best to dress on the more conservative side for your holiday in Da Nang. You'll want to avoid short shorts and plunging necklines where possible. For travellers booking airfare to Da Nang that want to see temples, you'll need to make sure that your shoulders and knees are covered on these visits.

Chopstick and food etiquette

When eating in Vietnam, it's considered bad luck to stick your chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice. Travellers booking plane tickets to Da Nang should rather place their chopsticks across the top of the bowl.

Another thing that travellers buying tickets to Da Nang should keep in mind is rice. In Vietnam, leaving behind a significant amount of rice in your bowl is considered rude and wasteful.

Do haggle at the shops

When you visit local markets, travellers buying return flights to Da Nang shouldn’t feel shy about haggling. The vendors will expect it, and bargaining should always be done in good spirits.

What should I pack for Da Nang?

Sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen

Whether you're booking airfare to Da Nang in the dry or wet season, you should pack sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. Cloudy days still mean harmful UV rays.

Bug spray

The mosquitos in Da Nang can be plentiful - especially if you're buying flights to Da Nang over the wet season. Pack a bottle in your checked luggage and apply it every day at dawn and dusk.

Secure your day bag

Avoid falling prey to pickpockets by securing your bag to your body. Travellers buying flights to Da Nang can use clips or moon bags.
