Da Nang Airport to City Centre: Taxi, Grab and Bus (2026)

Take a Grab from the arrivals hall: it takes 10–15 minutes to the city centre and usually costs VND 70,000–120,000. Taxis queue at the second traffic lane. The route 06 bus is cheaper, but its airport stop closes at 19:25.

Most people should just take a Grab. Walk out of arrivals, open the app and follow the pin to your driver. The ride into the city centre takes 10–15 minutes. It usually costs VND 70,000–120,000. Taxis and the city bus also work, and the bus is the cheap choice if you land in daylight with light bags.

Pick your terminal when you book: T1 is domestic and T2 is international. At T1 the pickup is right in front of the arrivals hall. At T2, follow the signs from pillar 3 to the waiting area in front of the glass building. Follow the pin, not the bay numbers you read online.

Budget the price range above. The meter starts around VND 27,000, then about 12,000 a km. The driver adds the small airport fee on top, so have a small note ready. Book the whole trip in the app and check that the car and driver match what the app shows, since scammers pose as ride-hailing companies.

Taxi

Taxis wait just outside arrivals. Go straight out, or follow the signs at pillar 3, to the second traffic lane, where dispatch staff will book one for you. It is the same spot at both terminals.

Agree the price before you get in. Some routes have a posted fare at pillar 2; otherwise ask the staff. A taxi to the An Thuong hotels runs about VND 135,000.

Xanh SM (Green SM) is the electric-taxi brand. It starts at around VND 30,000, then roughly 15,000 a km. Xanh SM adds about VND 20,000 overnight.

The bus

DanaBus route 06 is the cheap way in. It stops at pillar 2 outside T1 arrivals and at pillars 7 and 8 outside T2. It runs over Dragon Bridge and along Vo Van Kiet, Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa to Vietnam-Korea University.

A ride in the first half of the route costs VND 15,000. The whole line is VND 22,000. Buses come every 30–60 minutes, so expect a wait. For other routes, see Da Nang Public Bus: Routes, Fares and Hours.

Landing late

The bus stops running early in the evening, because the airport stop closes at 19:25. After that, use Grab or a taxi from the pickup points above.

Going on to Hoi An?

The bus does not go to Hoi An. A taxi to Hoi An old town is about VND 400,000 on the airport’s fixed fare chart, while a GrabCar starts at about VND 280,000, so Grab is the cheaper choice.

If something goes wrong

If a driver overcharges you or refuses the meter, call the Da Nang Tourist Support Center on *8899 or 1022. If you are in danger or a crime has happened, dial 113. More in Is Da Nang safe? Scams and street safety.

Walking

You can walk out along Duy Tan or Nguyen Van Linh street. It takes about half an hour to reach the Han River. The beach is over an hour on foot. For every other way around, see Getting Around Da Nang, and for your first days in town, the first week in Da Nang checklist.

    Just get a Grab taxi. You don't want to be walking around with big bags in the middle of the night. Da Nang is safe, it's just that carrying bags around is cumbersome. Grab should be $3-6.

    Depends on where you are going but Grab is pretty cheap, most places in the city can be reached for <$10 USD. You may pay a bit more at night but getting a Grab at that time should not be an issue. Would recommend Grab over a taxi, particularly if you are new to the city, alternatively book a car through your hotel.
