Walk the Han River waterfront
A walk beside the Han River links the museum portion of the day with the central bridges and gives you a feel for Da Nang’s riverside layout.
Keep your route along the river flexible, then choose a bridge crossing as you go. Han Market and Con Market are also city-centre landmarks; if you want to make either part of the day, the Da Nang market guide covers both.
Cross the central bridges
Han River Bridge, Dragon Bridge and Tran Thi Ly Bridge are crossings in central Da Nang, so they make natural reference points for a riverside walk.
Pick one crossing to connect the riverfront with the opposite bank, or follow the water to take in more than one. Dragon Bridge is another landmark to pair with the river walk; keep the route simple by choosing the crossing that best fits where you are along the river.
If you are arriving by air before exploring the centre, the airport-to-city-centre guide covers that part of the trip.
