Overview

Danang is central Vietnam’s urban superstar, but few people get to know the 2,000 years of history beneath its glitz and glamor.

On this self-guided audio tour along Danang’s illuminated riverfront, you’ll explore the layers of history beneath central Vietnam’s biggest metropolis while dining on little-known speciality dishes along the way.

Starting at APEC Park, you’ll stroll along wide riverside boulevards to discover remnants of Danang’s past, from ancient Champa roots to French colonial ambitions. Along the way, you'll learn how Danang evolved through waves of colonization and conflict to become the country’s most liveable city.

You’ll wander through Hàn Market, the commercial heart of the city for centuries. You'll learn about the American War’s legacy and details of the ongoing building boom that’s transforming the city. As you make your way to Bún Chả cá Ông Tạ, a local noodle shop where the tour ends, you’ll learn why Danang was once nicknamed “Rocket City.”
