Da Nang is an up-and-coming city in Vietnam with a lot of potential, but it's not for everyone. The cost of living is very low, and rent, food, and transport are all quite affordable. The beach and mountains make for a beautiful setting, and the internet is fast, making it a good place to work remotely. There are plenty of coffee shops and workspaces, and a decent expat scene exists, though it's mostly English teachers rather than digital nomads.

However, the city is rapidly developing, which means construction noise is everywhere, especially near the beach. Walking around is difficult due to poor sidewalks and chaotic streets. Many foreigners report feeling like a 'walking wallet' due to frequent scams and overcharging from taxis, restaurants, and even visa services. The nightlife and social scene are limited, and while the locals can be friendly, their English proficiency is low, making communication difficult.

If you're looking for an affordable beach city with a relaxed vibe and don’t mind some rough edges, Da Nang could be a good choice. But if you're after a well-developed, walkable city with a strong expat scene and thriving nightlife, you may want to look elsewhere or wait a few years for Da Nang to mature.

AI-generated summary of reviews

I stayed for two months in Danang. You must have a scooter to really enjoy it unless you just stay in the expat area near the beach. Rent for apartments is great value. Women are beautiful but most speak no English, which is a problem all over Vietnam. Like a tasty dish you aren't able to taste. Lots of food options both western, Vegan and local. Beach is great if you surf, otherwise it's not really for swimming. Internet is great. They have beautiful mountains too. I love Danang, could easily stay long term. Pretty good nightlife but nothing like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh.

It's a... 6.5/10 from me!
It's really a place that have everything on paper, but in the end it's just ..... kinda boring (for me)?
However.. this place really depends on you if you will like it or not. If you're a low budget kinda guy, then this is probably heaven on earth. If you don't like the intensity of Bangkok or Bali, you will probably like this place as well.
For me Hanoi, Ho Chi Min, Bangkok and Bali have better traffic, the unpredictability is the killer here, I saw 3 collisions of local people on my 1 month stay
Pros:
- Cheap
- Beach
- Mountain

Cons
- Traffic is unpredictable
- A bit boring

Things to consider:
- I Vietnamese food, but I did get tired of it during my month, in contrast to Thai food where I ended liking it more and more.
- It's not hard to get laid, but they are a bit more conservative so be patient
- Grab / Scooter oriented environment instead of public transport
- It's more walkable than Bali less walkable than Bangkok

It seems to be one of the cities with the lowest cost of living on nomadlist but you kinda get what you pay for.

Lots of good, cheap local restaurants where you can eat for $1 if you want. Otherwise, the $10-15 restaurants serve very good food. Adoption of Grab by restaurants is limited, so you will have to go out to eat at those restaurants. If you just want to hustle from home and not waste time going to restaurants, you will feel like you're always eating the same things after a month due to the limited good options.
Try the egg coffee and salt coffee, I don't like coffee but found them delicious.

Ants are a problem to consider when booking accommodation, it seems the whole city has a problem with that. It's like they live inside the floors and walls of buildings. I wouldn't book an apartment on a low floor.

Renting a scooter for a month costs 45 usd for the cheapest kind, which is nice. I recommend you do it as it will open up the city for you, but be careful when riding. You get used to it but half of the top 50 most insane things I have ever seen people do on the road happened here.
I recommend doing a day trip to Hoi An, it is a giant tourist trap but it is beautiful.

Vietnamese people are not very nice in my experience. Completely different from the lovely Thai people. I'd say they are much closer to the Chinese culturally. I personally view the locals as a bit too inconsiderate and a bit too aggressive for my taste especially when trying to take your money, although if you stand your ground they quickly back down, which I guess means they see it as "just business" and there is still a form of underlying respect. But "just business" also extends to fake google reviews, misleading photos and descriptions on accommodation listings, convenient order "mistakes", 2-3x price gauging, random people trying to charge you for parking your scooter in a public place, and it quickly gets annoying. For these reasons, I do not hold Vietnamese culture in high regard.

If you're a young broke backpacker or bootstrapper, I guess it might make sense for you to be here. Otherwise I'd say lower your expectations, or just go somewhere else entirely. When you know you can go to any of the neighbouring countries and be treated much better, why come to Vietnam?
Such is the beauty of the free market.

Visited it for two weeks, and I wish I can stay more, still not crowded, good food and almost all coffee shops have a working space, beautiful beach and affordable accomodations, really nice for digital nomading.

Trying a month — 3 weeks in, not a fan.
Transient.. feels like nowhere. Faint smell of sewerage, not walkable, beach absolutely packed and at the end of the day when the sun backs off (June). Food and coffee is either excellent or terrible, little inbetween.. but that’s fine once you find the good spots.

Da Nang is a fantastic city, with all the amenities that you could wish for. From great beaches to beautiful mountains arund. Next to this, the Vietnamese fantastic is just fantastic. Happy to also have found Coworking Danang which offers a great vibe and community in the city. Can totally recommend!

I have spend a few days in Da Nang in January and its one of the only cities in Vietnam, I absolutely couldnt find aything positive about. It felt dead to me. Almost no people there and it feels like the city doesnt have a soul. I would even go so far to say the city is the only place in Asia that made me feel unformfortable.
Cant recommend it.
Furthermore i got a food poisoning there. So the overall experience wasnt good.

Da Nang offers a nice beach, good air quality, comparable less traffic and pollution than other Vietnamese cities. Overall a relaxed vibe in the beach area. Don't expect international shopping or buzzing nightlife. It's not Bangkok. It's though ridiculous cheap, food is great, and locals are friendly.

The biggest mistake you can make is staying in An Thuong / My An. This area is full of filthy backpackers and Russians. Lot's of construction going on there. The beach in this area is too close to a major street. In general a very noisy area, honking, karaoke, night market, megaphone advertising. You won't sleep much.

I enjoyed the middle and northern part of Phước Mỹ better. It's the area with the international hotels. Difference like night and day. Less traffic, less karaoke, and the international hotels offer good noise insulation. The beach in this area is a bit further from to the road which makes it more enjoyable.

Overall a good city for extended stays with focus on work and spending some time in nature. If you want extensive nightlife, cultural experiences, socialising or shopping better go somewhere else.

Unspectacular. I spent 28 days in Da Nang. There are some positives, but let's start with the negatives. Da Nang is the 7th city I've lived in Vietnam, I've lived in over 100 cities for a month or longer. Prior to this trip, I had Vietnam ranked in my top 5 countries and was hoping that trend to continue (been coming here since 2019), but alas, no. Super disappointing.
Even though it's same size as Vientiane, Laos (1m) it feels like a big city, kinda. I mean, there's not much traffic, but there's so many, unnecessary highrises. There's a dozen 30+ stories on the waterfront, totally empty. It's actually not that touristy, but you'd think you're in Thailand. There a million massage parlors and guys asking if you want boom boom on every corner. Don't get lost while running errands if on foot! Due to the humidity, you have about 10 minutes outside before you start sweating. And, during rainy season, which isn't terrible, places randomly close. Gym closed at 6pm. Restaurants and cafe's don't open. I stayed in An Thuong area and there are zero nice gyms, zero nice restaurants, zero nice grocery stores. And I mean zero. English level very, very low. I met three Vietnamese who spoke passable Enlgish.
The Vietnamese are, in general, friendly. But here, I felt the vibe was off. You know that vibe you get? It's subtle, but it's there. The vibe I got was that they weren't interested in interacting. Rude might be a bit much to say. But they had their group, and foreigners had their own. This may be due to the area I was in and that's it's more touristy than other places.
The wifi is fine. The cafe scene is awesome. It's walkable. The beach, for me, is underrated. Yes, it's not busy, but it's also not empty. It's a giant beach and at any time you'll find a hundred people within eyeshot. The air is super clean.
I'm so, very disappointed in my review here. I was hoping to love Da Nang. Generally, I love beach towns.
Oh ya! I almost forgot. The following has little to no bearing on my review more than it was part of my overall experience, but I post some videos to TikTok. I did about 15 videos during my time in Da Nang. One of those videos was negative about the grocery store situation and it got 15x more views and the local Vietnamese jumped on me, called me names in the comments, insulted me, etc. I was surprised at this reaction and total silence on the other 14 videos highlighting the positives.

Spent two weeks there and honestly I wish I had planned to stay longer. I don’t know why it says the internet is bad. My airbnb had a very fast wifi of almost 100GB. Also, buying a sim card is really cheap, I paid 150k vnd (around 6 dollars) for 180GB. The city had lots of cafes, amazing local & international restaurantes (more international restaurants than Hanoi). The beach is not so pretty, but great for walks, and grabbing a drink. At night the vibe is really nice by the beach. Overall i had a great time, cheapest place in South East Asia so far!

I have been both HCM and Da Nang. Da Nang is obviously a winner. Cooler climate, nicer people, less crowded, less pollution. Love it here

Let's make it short again: (1,5 years living experience in Da Nang)
Da Nang is Chiang Mai with a Beach without the annoying nomad scenes.
-Most foreigners are English teachers or retired Australians. If you don't like it, mix up with locals. 90% of my friends are Vietnamese.
-Be careful with Constructions at the Beach Side. If you want a quiet life go to Son Tra. If you want more Action go to An Thuong Area. If you want local experience go behind the bridge
- Nightlife growing and enough Options there. (Check out DJ Mad Tea Party in Da Nang)
- Clean Air and Beautiful Environment
- Amazing Girls that are easy if you are good-looking. ( But logically not comparable to Saigon or Hanoi ) But if you are not good-looking go better to Thailand or Philipinnes.
- Locals English level is very low besides some young people

If you need this whole scam Digital Nomad Events, you are wrong here. If you are able to earn yourself a nice income and want a beautiful and amazing place with BEACH AND MOUNTAINS. Welcome to Da Nang!
I love it so much.
PS: the rain season sux asf. See it as the burning season in chiang mai without the burn :) Avoid it!

After having lived here for two months, I've got to say that this must be one of the worst places in Asia. The only reason I am still here is because I'm stuck due to the covid-19 situation. There is nothing to do here, except going for a walk at the beach. No events, no social life, no activities. Mind you, this has nothing to do with the current situation, it was the same before things got shut down because of the virus.

The locals don't really like foreigners and you can feel that often, even though the city wants to be a tourism destination. There is no mingling between locals and foreigners at all, because the city is divided by the river. All the locals live on the left side and all the foreigners on the right side. A few foreign guys date Vietnamese girls, that's it. That means you are living in a bubble with other foreigners which has nothing to do with living in Asia. The expat community consists to 90% of English teachers. It's really hard to meet people here who are actually nomads or are doing something else with their lives than teaching English. If that's your crowd, go ahead.

Pro's:
- Beach is beautiful
- Food pricing is decent

Con's
- This whole city starting from the airport to the beach is trying to take advantage of your tourist intentions, feels like everyone is trying to overcharge or scam
- Barely any english spoken here, hard to communicate
- Lot of construction because it is still developing

In summary:
Ok for a 2 days visit, skip living here long term

I previously wrote a very long review on Da Nang and wanted to update my experience after almost 1 month here. As mentioned, Da Nang is an up and coming place but is not for everyone. From my perspective the main pros and cons are as follows:
+ very affordable. Rent, food, and taking grabs around is very cheap.
+ beautiful area and surrounding. A lot of interesting day trips, especially with a motorbike.
+ good place to digital nomad in, plenty of coffeeshops and places to work. An expat scene too.
- You'll feel like a walking wallet. We've been ripped off by immigration, taxi drivers, restaurants, etc. Most of the restaurants in our area have fake reviews. You sort of have to be on your guard more than other places in south east asia.
- Its not pleasant to walk around here. Crossing the road is terrifying (you get used to it a bit) and there's construction everywhere so sidewalks are a mess.
- Still developing. At least where I live (My Anh), there is tons of construction (really loud). People selling various foods with loud speakers (Banh Bao!) into the late hours of the night (which gets old really fast. This area feels like a mix of tourist traps and construction sites. However, there are some gems to be found and once you're here for a week or so, there are plenty of good places to regular.

To summarize: While I had a very negative impression of Da Nang, i don't think it's such a bad place. Compared to a place like Chiang Mai, it is a much harder place to live as a DN, but you also may be rewarded with a bit more authenticity. There is something fun about living in a place that is changing at such a rapid place, but many downsides as well. Personally, I would probably advise waiting several years before coming to Da Nang until it's more developed. Or if you do stay, trying to stay in neighborhoods by the main city rather than near the beach, which feels more like a tourist trap under construction. In general, it's a reasonably livable city. You'll get some of the vibrant energy that makes Vietnam special, but without the convenience of a place like Chiang Mai or the culture and history of somewhere like Hanoi.

There's another long review here that's based on (1 week) but is very accurate.
Been here almost 3 months,
If you've lived around Asia, you'll find the Vietnamese to be louder and rude in comparison to Thailand / Korea / Taiwan.
Da Nang is a huge construction site, Vietnamese food is bland.
They tend to rip each other off, and foreigners aren't treated differently as well.
Do not pay Grab taxis here in advance (cash only, avoid credit cards) the locals like to "pick up" without actually picking you up.
Hoi an is near by, and its got a nice beach (An Bang)
In general, have to agree with the one week reviewer,

Da nang is relatively safe but if you've lived in Bangkok or Chiang mai in the past, you won't like it.

This is going to be a long review but hopefully it will be helpful. I understand this is my subjective experience after only a limited amount of time (1 week) in Da Nang and your mileage may vary. I could imagine some people really enjoying living here but for me it is not a great place to live and I decided to shorten my stay as a result.
To start, some good things about Da Nang: It is a very cheap place to live and I think you get decent value too. There are many coffeeshops to work out of and if you search you can find some nice spots to eat, drink, and hang out. There are things to visit in the surrounding area. The city itself has an interesting vibe, like the rest of Vietnam it is very vibrant, but also is in an extreme period of transition and it shows.

I have been living in the My An area of Da Nang (by the beach). I could imagine some people really enjoying living here but I personally do not like it here for a few reasons.

To start, some good things about Da Nang:
— It is a very cheap place to live and I think you get decent value too.
— There are many coffee shops to work out of and if you search you can find some nice spots to eat, drink, and hang out.
— There are things to visit in the surrounding area.
— The city itself has an interesting vibe, like the rest of Vietnam it is very vibrant, but also is in an extreme period of transition and it shows.

— The traffic isn’t so bad and roads are decent for the region.

— There is a decent expat scene and some nice people to hang out with, although this seems in isolation to the rest of the city.

However, there are many negatives, I’ll just list the two main ones for brevity:
— You will feel like a walking wallet and people will try to rip you off everywhere. We had some majorly inconvenient and expensive issues with the visa process, experienced blatant lying and short changing by taxi drivers, ridiculously priced items at shops. In our neighborhood, tons of the restaurants have fake reviews and terrible food. Basically, you feel like you need to be on your guard or you will be taken advantage of, which makes it not very enjoyable to stay here.
— Rapid Development Pains. Because Da Nang is developing so fast, there are a lot of rough edges, as one could expect. Construction is everywhere and makes it hard to walk around. To add to this, crossing the street in any city of Vietnam is quite a stressful experience. Most of the ATMs in the city seem to not work. There are random power outages in our neighborhood. The area we live feels like a depressing mix of construction lots and tourist traps.

To summarize: We had a very negative introduction to Da Nang, but after several days here, things did get a bit better. Compared to a place like Chiang Mai, it is a much harder place to live as a DN, but you also may be rewarded with a bit more authenticity. There is something fun about living in a place that is changing at such a rapid place, but many downsides as well. Personally, I would probably advise waiting several years before coming to Da Nang. Or if you do stay, trying to stay in neighborhoods by the main city rather than near the beach, which feels more like a tourist trap under construction.

Scenic beach + mountains, decent internet, excellent cheap food and a vibrant expat community makes this one of my favorite spots in SEA.

I've been here a couple times, living in HCMC right now. Compared to HCMC, there's alot less traffic and pollution. Beach is a huge plus. Locals are super friendly. Loads of Korean tourists. Nightlife is actually pretty decent given it's not an especially big city. I'd say there's a fair amount for a young single guy to do. Considering moving here. One of the other reviews mentioned the construction, that's everywhere in Vietnam. But it's easy enough to avoid it in Da Nang if you get a place closer to the river/downtown. I'm honestly surprised to see Da Nang hasn't taken off more with the remote working crowd. Way better than Bali. Yuck!

I have spend 2 months there but their is not a lot to do. The city is not very special. And the beach is ok for walking. But that is about it.

Wrote a really long review that disappeared. To summarize it: way too much construction going on here. Might be a nicer place 5-10 years from now.

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Not all nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
