Apps you need to install before coming to Da Nang: 9 practical apps

1. VietSpots — an app for reviews and bookings of local eateries/spas/nails/barbershops in Da Nang, made by locals. 5-20% discount deals at 300+ merchants, earn points to redeem vouchers, read real reviews from Korean/Vietnamese users. Free, with Vietnamese/English/Korean support. 2. Grab — the most popular taxi/motorbike-taxi service in Vietnam. Register in advance with your Visa card. Grab Food delivery is available.

3. Google Maps + offline map — download the offline map of Da Nang before your flight (so you can still use it even without 4G). 4. Google Translate — download the offline Vietnamese-English package. The camera translates restaurant menus wonderfully. 5. XE Currency — convert USD/EUR/KRW/JPY to VND in real-time. Avoid getting overcharged when shopping.

6. Booking.com / Agoda — last-minute hotel bookings are cheaper at the counter. 7. Klook / GetYourGuide — book tours to Ba Na, Cu Lao Cham, My Son and save 15-30% compared to booking on-site. 8. Zalo — a popular messaging app in Vietnam (like KakaoTalk in Korea). Many homestays/tour guides only communicate via Zalo. 9. VeXeRe — book bus/train tickets if you want to travel to Hue/Hoi An/Nha Trang by road.
