Good to Know

Getting around

Ride-hailing apps like Grab, Xanh SM and Be are the easiest way to move around cities and reach airports.

New Year's Eve options

Nguyen Hue Walking Street offers free fireworks and live performances; rooftop bars and hotel countdowns run paid set menus if you prefer a reserved seat.

Ba Na Hills tickets

Book Ba Na Hills entry and the cable car early in the day and in advance, as queues build quickly around the Golden Bridge.

Banyan Tree romantic dining

The resort offers themed romantic dinners at venues like the chapel, jetty or beach, plus a floating breakfast in your villa pool; arrange these ahead of arrival.

Central coast transfers

The Hoi An to Lang Co leg pairs a private transfer with the resort's own shuttle from near Da Nang, so confirm pickup timing in advance.
