Below are experiences that Vietnamdrive would like to share with you when you want to start a trip to Da Nang, “a worth living city” in the center of Vietnam, for your beautiful family with your baby.
1. Choose the right advisor for family journeys
At the beginning of a journey with a toddler, you often think about where to stay, what to eat, or how to move with the most convenience during your trip. These works require you to manage and arrange them carefully and take you a lot of time.
It is better to work with a knowledgeable local advisor who helps you plan your itinerary to save you valuable time. You will be less tired of choosing the location to stay in Da Nang City, traveling transportation, or visiting places.
2. Plan a suitable itinerary for the family to explore Da Nang
- If you want to travel with your family, especially when you have young children, you should choose a suitable form of itinerary. You should range a trip of 3 days and 2 nights, or 4 days and 3 nights at least. The more days you have in Da Nang, the more relaxing you can enjoy.
- Selecting a short itinerary per day, not a long day trip, for example, a day tour to go sightseeing in Danang, which fits your family with a baby. And, when you spend less time per day outside your hotels or resorts, your babies feel more comfortable.
- Vietnamdrive recommends you should not book joining-group package tours. It’s because these tours make your family feel rushed.
- We recommend you choose the open-tour form to travel. You just book a private car to transfer to the tourist destinations to visit. This traveling method in Danang helps you be flexible to move around with your children and finish the tour when your babies want to. And, you have a private space for your small family, save your money, but still get luxury travel in Da Nang City.
3. The best time to visit Da Nang for babies
Young children are often sensitive to weather changes, so you need to pay attention to time correctly. If you want to travel to Da Nang, you should come from March to May, when is the best time to visit this city.
One thing to note is that you should not go on Tet holidays (usually at the beginning of February) or hot Summer holidays ( June to September). It is because this time is so crowded with visitors, and you cannot avoid the cramped places. That will make your children seem hot and tired.
4. Recommend hotels and resorts in Da Nang for your family
When traveling with your babies, we think you wish to stay at some hotels and resorts with more space and less noise for your family. We recommend 5 hotels and resorts as the list below, which we know clearly. If you want to see more hotels with price details, you can check the discounts of hotels and resorts in Da Nang.

- Fusion Maia Danang Resort
- Vinpearl Luxury Da Nang
- The Ocean Villa Da Nang
- Sheraton Grand Danang Resort
5. What items to bring for your angels
- Food and water: These are essential travel items for families, especially young children. Moving will cause children to sweat and hunger, so they need water and food. Bringing food and water will help you to be more flexible in feeding your baby. You can bring other things like milk bottles, pies, sausages, fruits, and water.
- Trolley: For babies under five years old, the cart will make it easier for you to move your children. Also, a covered trolley will help children to avoid sun exposure. So, they can sleep when they are tired.
- Hygiene: Diapers, toilet paper, wet towels, and toilet paper are indispensable items for children.
- Clothes and toys: You should bring a hat, a sun protection suit, and baby clothes for your children. Besides, young children often cry, so their favorite toys are easy to fascinate them quickly.
6. Select appropriate places to go
You can also take children to travel to beautiful beaches in Da Nang, such as My Khe Beach or Non Nuoc Beach. Children can swim and play in the sand.
You can also take the children to walk along the streets near the famous bridges in Da Nang, such as Bach Dang Street or Tran Phu Street, in the early evening or evening. Typically, at night, you can enjoy the beauty of the city and the bridges and welcome the cool wind from the river.
If your family has children under five years old, you can visit sites close to your accommodations, such as the Museum of Champa Sculpture, the Chicken Church, Shopping Centers, or the local markets in Da Nang City.
If your family has children over the age of five, you can choose the playground, such as Helio Center or Asian Park, because young children at this age are often very active and like to explore and participate in games. Also, visit the ecological areas, such as Than Tai Spring, Cam Thanh Village in Hoi An, or Cham Island.
