For weather

The best time to visit Danang is April to August if you take the weather into account. Ideal temperature, blue skies, lowest rainfall, and long hours of sunshine are ideal for beach lovers and photo-hunters. Travelers can feel free to join island-hopping tours, spend hours lazing on white-sandy beaches, and wander around the city for culinary voyages thanks to the minimal chance of typhoons. You can also join the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival which normally takes place from June to July annually. However, travelers may face big crowds and high costs of hotels, airfares, tours, etc.

For good deals

If the weather does not matter a lot, the wet season from September to December can be considered for those looking for a budget-friendly vacation. Heavy rain comes and ends quickly. No more harsh heat, cool and a bit chilly weather may be comfortable for some travelers. Since it is the off-season, the number of tourists decreases notably, and many good deals are coming out. Privacy-seekers can take advantage of this time to save a lot of costs from September to December.

Besides, the second ideal time for a cost-saving trip is from January to March. It is the end of the wet season to the early dry season. Lower rainfall, occasional cold weather, gentle sunshine, and few crowds make your exploration comfortable and convenient. Since it is still not the peak season, travelers still get a stable price for services such as accommodation, airfare, transfer costs, etc. Don't miss some festivals during the Vietnamese New Year such as Boat Racing Festival (lunar January), Quan The Am Festival (lunar February), Cau Ngu Festival (14 - 16 lunar January), etc.

Ultimately, based on your specific interests and needs, take a little planning and you can surely find your own best time to visit Da Nang.
