HOI AN
Hoi An is one of Vietnam’s most charming and atmospheric destinations, known for its beautifully preserved old town, lantern-lit streets, riverside setting and relaxed pace of life. Located on Vietnam’s central coast, Hoi An is an ideal destination for travellers looking to combine culture, history and food in one stay.
The heart of the city is the UNESCO-listed Hoi An Ancient Town, where colourful heritage buildings, traditional merchant houses, temples, cafés and boutiques line narrow pedestrian streets. In the evenings, the town takes on a particularly romantic atmosphere as hundreds of lanterns illuminate the streets and the Thu Bon River. Hoi An is also renowned for its tailor shops, local markets, cooking classes and excellent Vietnamese cuisine.
Beyond the old town, travellers can explore nearby rice fields, cycle through quiet villages and visit local craft communities. Hoi An also combines easily with Da Nang and Hue.
