Visit Hoi An
Introduction
Hoi An, set just inland from the coast along the banks of the Thu Bon River, is home to a richly traditional old town - now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The city was once one of the most important ports in South East Asia, with merchants lured from far and wide by the prospect of highly prized silks. Nowadays, the ships have all but disappeared and the new boom in industry comes from tourism, turning the silk traders into tailors.
Take a walk through the town's winding backstreets and get measured up for a finely tailored silk skirt or suit, enjoy the nearby beaches, the stunning Water Coconut Palm Canal or the ruins at My Son, a 4th century Hindu temple complex honoured by UNESCO as the final bastion of the threatened Cham culture.
Top itineraries in Hoi An
Discover the best of Vietnam, taking in the country's vibrant northern capital Hanoi, the emerald waters of Halong Bay and the historically rich central coastal towns of Hue and Hoi An. Then, fly south Ho Chi Minh City and the magic of the Mekong Delta and the infamous Cu Chi Tunnels.
The Mekong Delta is often referred to as 'Vietnam's rice bowl'. This rich agricultural land supports a thriving population of farmers, who make their living amidst the abundant waterways that form the mouth of the mighty Mekong River, one of the world's great waterways.
Vietnam has long been one of our favourite destinations. With beautiful beaches, dramatic landscapes, ancient culture, a fascinating history and mouth-watering cuisine, it's easy to see why travellers from across the world return to its shores time and time again.
