Da Nang

A sun-touched, atmospheric city brimming with distinctive Vietnamese colour & cuisine.

Sitting along the glinting central-eastern coast, Vietnam's third largest city is a shapeshifter, morphing from an idyllic sunspot to a vibey nightlife hub in an instant. But, if you seek it out, there is fascinating history and astounding natural beauty to discover too. Its location means gorgeous beaches to lounge upon and a wad of water sports to match, as well as tastebud satisfying seafood. To the south are the splendid Marble Mountains, where overgrown hiking trails lead amidst mystical caves and elegant pagodas, while the fairytale buildings of Ba Na Hills are just a cable car ride away — this is where you'll find the iconic Golden Bridge, held up by a pair of giant hands.

Things to do

What to do in Da Nang

Let Da Nang surprise you with its dynamic mix of urban vibrancy, coastal beauty, and cultural intrigue. As Vietnam’s third-largest city, Da Nang boasts a thriving food scene, modern architecture, and a laid-back vibe. Stroll along My Khe Beach, one of Asia’s most stunning shorelines, or take in the panoramic views from the iconic Dragon Bridge, which breathes fire on weekends. For a dose of history, visit the ancient ruins of the Cham Museum or wander through the Marble Mountains, where hidden caves and temples await. Don’t miss the Ba Na Hills, where you’ll find the ethereal Golden Bridge held aloft by giant stone hands, and a touch of French alpine charm.

Low stress travel the way it's meant to be

June 2026

17 nights in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos

As I mentioned- everything was great. Super easy to work with Meg. the dashboard was pretty straightforward and informative. It was so wonderful being taken care of at every location- having someone meet us at the airport and show us all of the best things in each place. the tours were well thought out and well curated. I liked having tour guides that seemed to have secret handshakes to get us into super crowded lunch spots with our own reserved table- my husband felt like he was in the Godfather. :-)

We have travelled a lot for business and pleasure over a number of years and I have to say that Timbuktu are by far the best travel agency I have ever used. They really understand your needs and are helpful throughout. On our last trip to Vietnam, we visited six destinations over three weeks involving private transfers, five internal flights and four guided tours, all of which were faultless.

Very accommodating and many great adventures

I wanted to take the stress off of planning a trip for 5 with three older teen/young adults to Vietnam and Timbuktu made it so easy. The planning was straight forward and the actual trip was so smooth. We had a friendly face greeting us at every stop from the airport to hotel to tours and meals. It was the best vacation our family has had. We loved it.
