DNO - Da Nang has been named among the 50 destinations featured in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2027. The international travel guide highlights the city’s relaxed beaches, natural landscapes, cuisine and convenient access to UNESCO World Heritage sites.
In its annual selection, Lonely Planet describes Da Nang as “Best for laid-back city beaches and UNESCO stops”.
The city features a combination of mountains, a long coastline, a relaxed atmosphere, and a diverse food scene. It also boasts the scenic Son Tra Peninsula, offering sweeping views of the coast.
Interestingly, Lonely Planet’s three-day itinerary presents the city through food, heritage, nature and everyday local life.
The journey begins with “mi Quang”, a regional speciality of rice noodles topped with shrimp, pork and quail eggs. Lonely Planet recommends a local eatery at 75 Chau Thi Vinh Te, where the recipe is said to originate from Phu Chiem village.
The day continues at Sun World Ba Na Hills, a hilltop entertainment complex featuring a French-inspired village, castles, waterfalls and rides.
The cable car journey takes visitors over forested landscapes before reaching the resort area and its iconic Golden Bridge. Back in the city, travellers can sample sizzling “banh xeo” filled with shrimp and pork. At night, the Dragon Bridge becomes a major attraction.
Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 9 p.m., the bridge performs its well-known fire-and-water show. Visitors can combine the spectacle with an evening visit to Son Tra Night Market or Bach Dang Walking Street.
The second day begins with traditional steamed rice-flour cakes, including "banh loc" and "banh beo", before heading to the Museum of Cham Sculpture.
The museum houses the world’s largest collection of Cham sculptures, reflecting the artistic legacy of the ancient Cham civilisation in Central Vietnam.
The itinerary then moves to Son Tra Peninsula, home to Linh Ung Pagoda and a famous Buddha statue.
Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the bay, explore secluded beaches and continue towards the Ban Co Peak where a stone chessboard and statue overlook the peninsula.
An early start brings travellers to Man Thai Fish Market, where freshly caught seafood is landed on the beach. The morning can then continue at famous My Khe Beach, part of the city's long urban coastline.
From the beach, the journey heads to the Marble Mountains, a group of five limestone hills featuring caves, pagodas and scenic viewpoints.
Back in the city, Con Market offers another opportunity to sample local food, particularly in the afternoon when more vendors fill its walkways.
For dinner, Lonely Planet recommends fresh seafood. Meanwhile, the final evening can end with panoramic city views from SKY36, a rooftop venue overlooking the Han River and coastline.
Together, the above-mentioned three-day itinerary captures Da Nang through its food, beaches, cultural heritage, mountains and vibrant urban life.
Da Nang’s inclusion in Best in Travel 2027, therefore, reflects a destination with multiple layers rather than a single defining attraction.
From a morning by the sea and a journey into the forests of Son Tra to local food, Cham heritage and riverside life, the city offers a diverse range of experiences. Nearby UNESCO sites further allow travellers to explore the history and culture of Central Vietnam within a single trip.
