04 Nov Hoi An: Vietnam’s Most Charming City
If Paris is the city of lights, Hoi An is undoubtedly the city of lanterns. This small Vietnamese corner, whose name seems like a playful twist on Hanoi, offers a completely different experience: less chaos, more calm; fewer car horns, more peaceful steps under soft lighting that gives every street a magical atmosphere.
Located just an hour from Da Nang, Hoi An is a historic and well-preserved city on Vietnam’s central coast. Getting there can be quite an adventure: from Ninh Binh, you can take a shuttle to Haiphong, fly with VietJet to Da Nang, and then continue on another shuttle to your hotel in Hoi An. The journey is worth it, because upon arrival, you feel as if time has stopped amid ancient architecture, temples, and cobblestone streets.
Accommodation is another delight. Some hotels feel like small oases, with stunning pools, complimentary bicycles to explore the city, and shuttles to the town center or the beach.
When it comes to activities, Hoi An invites you to visit a local tailor, a tradition famous across the country for its quality and speed. You can also try the legendary Banh Mi Phuong at the market, considered one of the best sandwiches in Vietnam. And if you’re feeling adventurous, taste durian at the Nguyen Hoang Street Night Market, where multicolored lanterns illuminate an unforgettable night.
