✓ Checked and fact-checked
Da Nang International Airport is about 3 km from the city centre, so the ride in is short whichever way you go. The Da Nang Tourism Promotion Center publishes a guide for arriving visitors, compiled from the airport’s own information, dated 15 June 2026. Before you fly, check Vietnam’s e-visa rules and what you can bring through customs. If you are also visiting the north, the Hanoi airport guide covers Noi Bai.
Arriving at Terminal T2
International flights use Terminal T2, and domestic flights Terminal T1. The two are joined by a covered walkway. The city’s guide says your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you arrive and have at least one blank page. If you have a visa approval letter, go to the Visa on Arrival counter on the ground floor of T2, fill in the form, attach a photo and pay the fee there. The automated gates are only for Vietnamese citizens.
After baggage claim there are SIM card counters, currency exchange, ATMs and a tourist information counter with free city maps.
Taxis
Taxis wait just outside the arrivals halls, 24 hours a day. The city’s guide lists these licensed companies:
| Company | Phone |
|---|---|
| Mai Linh | 0236 356 5656 |
| Tien Sa | 0236 379 7979 |
| VinaSun | 0236 368 6868 |
| Hai Van | 0236 393 9393 |
| Datranco | 0236 383 8383 |
| Taxi Da Nang | 0236 363 6363 |
| Xanh SM | 1900 2088 |
Bring cash, because only some of these companies take Visa or Mastercard. An airport entrance fee of 10,000 to 30,000 dong may be added to the fare, depending on the company. Use only taxis with clear company branding, and do not accept rides from strangers in the airport. The guide gives no fares.
Buses
| Bus | Hours | Stop at T2 | Stop at T1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Danabus route 06 | 05:30 to 19:00 | Pillars 7 and 8 | Pillar 2 |
| Danabus route 12 | 05:30 to 19:00 | Pillars 7 and 8 | Pillar 2 |
| Hai Van Bus, to Hoi An | 07:30 to 16:00 | Pillars 7 and 8 | Pillar 2 |
All three stop outside the arrivals halls. Route 03, from Man Thien Street to Ba Na Hills, passes near the airport but does not stop there. The city’s guide does not give bus fares, and we could not load a current official fare list, so check with the driver.
The city’s guide also suggests ride-hailing apps, and many hotels and resorts in Da Nang and Hoi An run their own airport transfers if you arrange them in advance.
Ride-hailing apps and bus routes both need a connection when you land. Set up Saily before you fly and your phone works from the arrivals hall. If Vietnam is one stop of several, add each country to the same Saily profile.
Emergency numbers
Vietnam’s national numbers are 113 for police, 114 for fire and 115 for an ambulance, as listed by the UK government’s travel advice, which notes that the services generally operate in Vietnamese.
