What our travelers think about their stay

Hội An is a city lying on the banks of the Thu Bồn River in central Vietnam. Its historic old town area is famous for its unique architecture.

My suggestion

If you rise early, don't worry: you can always pay a visit to the market near the bridge. You'll find piles of vegetables, fruit and fish of every colour there, making for some beautiful photos.

Hoi An is a town in northern Vietnam that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

My suggestion

Take the time to wander around the town centre at night to see the town lit up by hundreds of lanterns in a fairytale atmosphere.

The historic town of Hoi An will charm you with its architecture, its river, and its pedestrian streets that are decorated with lanterns. Though beset by tourists, Hoi An remains an unmissable part of any visit to Vietnam.

My suggestion

The "pass card" that allows you to visit five tourist sites isn't essential but it is still worth a look. Don't hesitate to escape by bike and explore the area around Hoi An - it's worth the effort.
