Ba Na Hills, west of Da Nang, is known for the Golden Bridge, record-setting cable cars, French Village and cool mountain climate. The 2026 reference opening hours are 8:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m., and the standard non-resident adult ticket is VND 1,000,000. Arrive before opening and allow a full day.
Take one of the first cable cars for a better chance of lighter crowds at the Golden Bridge.

Best season and what to wear
March to May often offers the best balance for views and outdoor walking. June to August is busy and afternoon showers can develop; September to December is more likely to bring rain or dense fog. The summit is cooler than central Da Nang, so carry a light layer and rain protection in every season. Wear grippy walking shoes, and remember that a clear Golden Bridge view can never be guaranteed.
How to get from Da Nang to Ba Na Hills
Ba Na Hills is roughly 40 km from central Da Nang, usually a 45–60 minute drive. Options include a private transfer, Grab/taxi and group shuttle. Ride-hailing works for flexible one-way trips, but return availability and pricing can vary. Families, groups and travellers who want a fixed pick-up time often find a pre-booked private transfer more convenient.
An efficient one-day route
7:00–7:30 a.m. leave Da Nang → arrive before opening → first cable car → Golden Bridge → gardens/mountain railway → lunch → French Village → Fantasy Park or Moon Castle → descend in late afternoon. If thick fog covers the bridge, move to indoor attractions or French Village and return if visibility improves.
Ba Na Hills Q&A
Standard admission generally includes the Golden Bridge and most core attractions. Dining, the wine cellar, alpine coaster and selected paid experiences may cost extra.
First-time visitors should allow eight to ten hours for the bridge, French Village, lunch and indoor attractions without rushing.
The first cable-car arrivals are usually your best chance. Late afternoon can be quieter, but weather and tour-group timing change daily.
Light rain still allows French Village and indoor attractions. Strong wind or thunderstorms can affect cable cars and outdoor areas, so follow park announcements.
