Thanks to the very favourable exchange rate, particularly for USD, EUR, GBP, or AUD, and the low cost of living, you can live a very enjoyable lifestyle in Da Nang—stretching your money, not your budget.

Imagine eating out daily, not stressing about the price of your morning coffee, and comfortably living in your own studio or apartment—all at a significantly more affordable cost.

If you’re chasing warmer weather, you are going to want to book your flight to Vietnam. The weather is generally warm all year round in Da Nang. However, it does have two distinct seasons. The wet season is from September until December, and the dry season is from March until August. Keep this in mind when booking your trip.

If you have some work projects to finish, Da Nang is a prime destination to be work-focused.

There is a digital nomad community here, however, it’s not as rich as Bali. If you are looking for more, Bali and other digital nomad destinations are a better decision.

To stay in Vietnam, you’ll need a Vietnam E-visa. The Vietnam E-visa valid for maximum of 90 days, single or multiple entry.
