Stay in Hue, Danang or Hoi An?

If I wanted to visit central Vietnam and hopefully get to visit Hue, Danang, My Son and Hoi An but can only stay in one place and make day trips to the rest, which is the best place to stay? Hue, Danang or Hoi An? (Note: the international flight will be landing in Danang airport)

I think that what you propose is not possible - you cannot stay in one place and do "day trips" to the other two.

Hue and Hoi An are the most interesting and about three hours apart by road even if you travel directly by car and go through the tunnel. So a return day trip from one to the other would involve six hours of travel.

You could stay in DN and cut 30 minutes off your travel time to Hue but why do that since DN a bit of a dump? Better to stay in Hue and see Hue (which is worth more then a day trip anyway) then in Hoi An to see the rest.

As above distance between Hue and Hoi An make day trips between a bit difficult! If you are arriving at Danang it would make sense to first go to Hoi An for few days and see My Son from there, then travel up to Hue for a few days and see sights there..

Hue can visit by day trip from Danang / Hoi An. I think stay in Hoi An is better, much more thing to do: Visit My Son Hollyland, Tra Que Village. Hoi An also good place to buy cloth and taylor

Wish you have a right choice

Well, not quite what you want, but....

Stay in Hue, visit Hue.

Forget Danang.

Leave via early morning car to Hoi An over Hai Van Pass. Spend the day in Hoi An and then train/fly onwards from Danang,.

#4 - Visit Hue as a day trip from Hoi An? No wonder Vietnam has such problems getting tourists to return with travel companies making recommendations like this.
