Q: Can I watch the fireworks without a ticket?
Since the fireworks are high-altitude and large-scale, you can view them from various spots without sitting at the main stage. Some popular options include:
- High-rise hotels and restaurants along the Han River such as the rooftop of Novotel, Muong Thanh Da Nang, Chicland Hotel, etc.
- Areas along the Han River near the firing zone
- Bridges crossing the river like Dragon Bridge, Han River Bridge, Tran Thi Ly Bridge, and Nguyen Van Troi Bridge
- Han River cruises, with ticket prices ranging from 400,000 – 600,000 VND/person (~16 – 24 USD)

Since the venue is in the city center, you can easily get there by walking or taking a taxi. If you ride a motorbike, you can park along nearby streets — just remember to keep your parking ticket and note where you parked.
Q: Do I need to book tickets in advance?
Yes — including fireworks show seats, hotel rooms, and river cruise tickets. During the festival, locals, domestic tourists, and international visitors all attend, so tickets can sell out quickly.
