    to admire the Japanese bridge and colourful markets

    Captivatingly picturesque old port town and UNESCO World Heritage Site

    With its pretty architecture and beguiling riverside setting packed into its neat size, Hoi An is small enough to stroll around and soak up its rich wealth of heritage.

    Once an important port and trading town, Hoi An is one of Vietnam’s greatest cultural relics and a melting pot of Chinese, Japanese and French influences. Visit the atmospheric Old Town to see the Japanese Merchant Houses, the famed Japanese bridge, the Chinese temples, old tea warehouses, temples and traditional pagodas. Motorised traffic is banned from the town centre which has cemented Hoi An’s status as one of Vietnam’s most prized and pleasant towns. It’s especially romantic in the evening when lanterns light up the paved streets.

    Let one of our expert local guides show you around some of the 844 UNESCO protected structures, not to mention its array of open-air craft shops, art galleries, museums and culinary corners.

    Pristine white beaches lie just a short drive from the city if you would prefer to stay outside of Hoi An.

    Highlights

    Take a food tour learning about Vietnamese cuisine, followed by a cooking lesson

    Wander the cultural and pedestrianised Old Town

    Shop for tailored clothes at low prices

    Visit the temples and tombs at My Son Sanctuary

    Learn the art of lantern crafting from a local handicraftsman

    Hoi An is full of charm. One of my favourite experiences is taking part in a cooking class with a local family in Tra Que Village, before boarding a river boat as the sun sets. Watching the town's fishermen get ready to head out into the Cua Dai Sea and having a go at casting your own fishing net is the perfect end to a magical day in Hoi An!
