Iconic Instagram spotFrom VND 900,000 (~€33)

💡 Tip: Da Nang's My Khe Beach has a wide, flat promenade — one of the best beach stroller walks in Vietnam. The Dragon Bridge breathes fire on weekend nights (9pm) — kids are mesmerised. Marble Mountains temple complex has many stairs; bring a carrier, not a stroller. The city is much calmer than Hanoi or Saigon.
