Best seating locations to view the Cat Ba fireworks
A world-class performance like “Symphony of the Green Island” deserves to be enjoyed from the best possible seat.

Where should you sit for the full experience?

To secure a great spot, arrive at least 30 minutes before the show begins. This also gives you time to settle in and enjoy the pre-show energy.

- Couples: Aim for center seats with the best angles. Pair it with a romantic dinner at a beachfront venue like The Sea Beach Club.
- Groups: Book combos of 3 or more to save money and sit together. The outdoor vibe is perfect for a fun group night.
What should you bring for the best experience?
To make the most of your Cat Ba fireworks experience, consider bringing:
- A light jacket or scarf for cooler sea breezes
- A foldable chair or picnic mat (if using standing tickets)
- A phone or camera with night mode to capture the magic
