The short answer
Budget travellers in Da Nang spend around USD 30 a day. Mid-range travel runs closer to USD 75, and a splurge day lands around USD 180. USD per day per person. Vietnam is cheap by North American standards even at the mid tier; splurge buys a proper beachfront resort and private drivers.

Mid-range day: guesthouse or 3-star hotel near My Khe (~35 USD), Grab rides plus a half-day motorbike rental (~10 USD), breakfast pho + mi quang lunch + seafood dinner (~20 USD), Marble Mountains entrance and elevator (~2.50 USD), a couple of beers on the beach in the evening (~5 USD).

How to spend less
- City bus routes #6 and #10 run to the airport and downtown for a flat 8,000 VND, a fraction of a Grab fare.
- Han Market's upstairs food stalls charge local prices for the same dishes sold at tourist-marked-up restaurants near the beach.
- Marble Mountains waives the 40,000 VND entrance fee if you arrive before 8am.
- Book Ba Na Hills tickets online through the Sun World site rather than through a hotel tour desk, which typically marks them up.
- Split a car with driver for My Son Sanctuary among 3-4 people instead of a solo Grab; the per-person cost drops close to the price of an organized tour.
