Da Nang is divided by the Han River, with the civic centre and markets on the west bank and the main beach strip on the east. The river bridges connect these two practical visitor zones. The Marble Mountains lie south toward Hoi An, while the Son Tra Peninsula and Hai Van Pass extend north beyond the compact urban core.

Da Nang Museum is the city's principal civic-history museum, now situated in a new waterfront location. It serves as the main institution dedicated to preserving and presenting the history, culture, and development of Da Nang and its surrounding region.
Dong Dinh Museum is a private museum located on Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang. The institution occupies a forested setting and presents itself as a distinctive cultural venue combining regional memory, architectural elements, and natural surroundings.
Group Han Market, the cathedral, Cham Museum and west-bank riverfront together. Cross one bridge for My Khe Beach and the eastern waterfront, then reserve a separate block for Son Tra because its roads climb away from the centre. Marble Mountains and the southern coast fit another route; Ba Na Hills and Hai Van Pass need standalone excursions.

Central riverfront sights are walkable in short clusters, but beaches and outer attractions require wheels. Da Nang lists public buses, public bicycles, taxis and app-based cars or motorbikes as local options, with DanaBus providing route information. Distances to Son Tra, Marble Mountains and the mountain approaches make a planned return ride more reliable than an improvised walk.

A fixed stay length is not recorded. Build the visit around the Han River banks and My Khe, then add Son Tra, Marble Mountains and Hai Van Pass only when the available time supports a separate journey.
Group places by district instead of crossing the city repeatedly. Start with the Han River banks and My Khe; treat Son Tra, Marble Mountains and Hai Van Pass as separate routes with their own travel allowance.
Use Walking, public bus, bicycle and licensed taxi. Walk within compact clusters and consult the linked official transport information before making longer transfers or relying on a particular route.
Only within individual neighbourhood clusters. The main visitor areas are separated by distances, waterways, major roads or regional approaches, so longer links normally need public transport or a licensed vehicle.
Plan Son Tra, Marble Mountains and Hai Van Pass separately from the Han River banks and My Khe. Check the current route, return connection and any access requirements on the official source before departure.
