August is the rainy season, and much of the old town may experience some flooding as the river that runs through it rises well above street level, making biking or walking around difficult.

I'm sorry we stayed just outside the ancient town at the Sunshine hotel.you can walk into town from here or the receptionist will gladly order a taxi for you..I can highly recommend it.

Better than a taxi, just download the GRAB app on your phone.

Just came back from Danang. Weather was Super hot! Average 36-37 degrees
