Hoi An is an absolute must for anyone visiting Vietnam thanks to its stunning architecture, eclectic cultural history, and wonderful shops and restaurants, not to mention a pristine beach that is the perfect place to kick back and relax for a few hours! While you could easily spend weeks in Hoi An, getting clothes tailored and visiting markets and events, this itinerary allows you to experience the highlights of Hoi An and then decide for yourself how much longer you wish to stay.
Head To A Tailor
As Hoi An has a rich trading history as a port on the silk route, one of the highlights of any visit is the excellent tailoring service offered throughout the city. You can get everything made here from suits and ball gowns to shoes, shirts, skirts and more! It is important that you visit the tailors at the beginning of your time in the city as they then have time to make your chosen creations and ensure they fit and are finished before you depart.
Next on the agenda is exploring the Old Town, the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site section of Hoi An that includes a wonderful mix of colonial buildings, Chinese temples, wooden shop-houses, and the famed Japanese Covered Bridge. This bridge is arguably the most photographed site in the city, despite being small, as it is one of the very few covered bridges to be built outside of Japan.
Other sites to explore include the Old House of Tan Ky, the Hoi An Market, the Assembly Hall Of Fujian Chinese, the Vietnamese communal temple and the Quan Cong Temple as well as the Museum of Folk Culture if you have time!
There are so many stunning photo ops throughout Hoi An that you can simply spend hours meandering your way through the picturesque streets stopping to snap whenever you please.
Once you’ve discovered some of the top sights in the city, you’ll be ready to sit down and enjoy a cup of Vietnam’s finest coffee, perhaps alongside a French patisserie. We found the best coffee to be from the Hoi An Roastery which is thankfully served up in seven locations around the city so it‘s not too hard to find!
Head back to the tailors to do a final fitting, and if everything is ok, collect your garments. You’ll be amazed at the fine handiwork of these tailors and might even want to stay a little longer so that you can have a few more items made!
Depending on what time of the month you visit, you may be lucky enough to witness the lantern festival that coincides with Full Moon. This is a spectacular festival in which all the city lights are turned off and the town is lit up by colorful lanterns instead. Locals light candles and place them on delicate lily-like lanterns to float down the river with thousands gathering on the riverside to watch this beautiful light show.
If you aren’t in Hoi An over the full moon, fear not as you can still enjoy the river by night by taking an evening river cruise. This allows you to see the yellow city of Hoi An lit up by gentle lights, perhaps experiencing a sunset dinner with candlelight, fresh food, and live music.
A bustling collection of shops and stalls that stretches all the way down Nguyen Hoang Street. The market consists of street food vendors, souvenir shops, clothing, and jewelry stalls as well as plenty of local artwork on sale. There are likely to be more tailors open for business too, so it’s never too late to put in an order. You could spend hours wandering the market stalls, stopping off for drinks and snacks along the way to keep you going. As with all Asian markets, bargaining is encouraged so don’t simply settle for the first price, have fun with bartering for a lower price!
My Son Archaeological Site
My Son is an ancient Hindu sanctuary and UNESCO World Heritage Site on the outskirts of Hoi An that is well worth a visit. I recommend this tour to get to My Son that leaves Hoi An at around 4.30 am so that you are able to witness a beautiful sunrise in the countryside before arriving at My Son before the majority of tourists arrive.
My Son was a vital part of the Champa Kingdom who built a collection of stunning temples between the 4th and 14th centuries. These temples are not in various states of disrepair but are breath-taking nonetheless!
My Son Archaeological Site
After an early start, you’ll want a fairly relaxing afternoon, so I suggest you spend the rest of the day at An Bang Beach. An Bang is situated around 7 km north of Hoi An and you can choose to cycle or motorbike to the beach or simply take a taxi. This stretch of beach is relatively unspoiled and features a handful of beachside restaurants and bars, many of which offer sunbeds and natural parasols. If you like seafood, this is a great place to try some fresh fish cooked up on a Vietnamese BBQ.
