Hoi An Visitor Guide
Essential tips for tourists visiting Vietnam's most charming UNESCO town
Old Town Magic
Ancient Town is free to walk around. Buy a combined ticket ($5) to enter 5 heritage sites: Japanese Bridge, Assembly Halls, and museums.
Get a Bicycle
Rent from guesthouses for $1–2/day. Cycle to An Bang Beach, rice fields, and the Thu Bon River. Most enjoyable early morning.
Lantern Festival
On the 14th of each lunar month, all electric lights are off. The Old Town fills with candles and colourful lanterns — absolutely unmissable.
Tailor Shopping
Bring reference photos. Get fitted 24–48 hours before you leave. Reputable tailors are on Le Loi, Tran Phu, and Nguyen Thai Hoc streets.
Solo Navigation
Exceptionally safe for solo travelers. Renting a bicycle is the best way to explore alone. Staying in a homestay helps connect with local families and other adventurers.
