Which season is the most beautiful time to visit Da Nang? A detailed 12-month guide

Da Nang has 2 distinct seasons: the dry season (March-August) has beautiful sunshine, calm seas, and little rain — this is peak tourist season. The rainy season (September-February) brings heavy rain, strong winds, and rough seas — this is low season, when hotel prices drop by 30-50%.

Month-by-month details: Mar-May (spring): 24-30°C, least rain, sea 26°C — perfect swimming. Jun-Aug (summer): 28-35°C scorching sun, crowded with domestic tourists on summer vacation. Sep-Oct (rainy season): occasional heavy rain, 30% hotel discounts. Nov-Feb (winter): cool 20-25°C, sometimes storms. January-February (Tet): many shops close for 3-5 days, avoid traveling during Tet.

Best time: April-May (ideal for all activities), July-August (if you don't mind crowds), November (cool + fewer tourists). Avoid: October (heavy rain), Lunar New Year (many places closed), late June during the DIFF fireworks festival — hotel prices go up 2-3 times.
