Da Nang and Hoi An Vietnam: The Complete Travel Guide to Da Nang and Hoi An, Vietnam (My Saigon) - 1933

So you think Danang is just an airport on the way to Hoi An? Maybe your guidebook still recommends bringing travelers' checks to tip the stewardess on the Concorde. It’s time for an upgrade. Danang has changed so dramatically that this 2025 edition is almost entirely new, because the old information is simply no longer relevant. Forget the tourist traps, the outdated recommendations, and the guides that barely mention Danang before screaming "HOI AN HOI AN HOI AN!" This is your insider's guide to the local lowdown, like having a very talkative Vietnamese friend show you what a local would consider the best in their city. Discover why Danang went from being Vietnam's "Cleveland" to its "Portland"—a city that's cleaner, quieter, and much cheaper than Saigon or Hanoi. You'll get the real scoop on: The one food street where all the locals actually eat. Hidden-in-an-alley cafes you'd never find on your own. The pros (beaches and mountains in minutes!) and the cons (everything runs on erratic Danang time!). Why you might be "freezing cold" much of the year, with temperatures in the 50s Fahrenheit. And yes, this guide covers Hoi An, too. But you’ll be encouraged to treat Hoi An as we locals do: a beautiful, lantern-lit "amusement park" that's fun to visit, but shouldn't be your entire vacation. Don't make the mistake of ignoring Danang, a real Vietnamese city, still largely unspoiled by mass tourism. Packed with personality, honest advice, and snarky opinions, this is your key to a more authentic, delicious, and genuinely fun trip.
