Hoi An is small, walkable, photogenic and absurdly cheap — a perfect third stop on any Vietnam trip after Hanoi and Halong.
Where to stay
Boutique hotels in the An Hoi area put you a bridge from Old Town. For beach + town combo, stay in An Bang and bike in (15 minutes).
How to get there
Fly to Da Nang (DAD) from UK via Singapore or Bangkok. Hoi An is a 40-minute taxi from the airport (~£15).
Don't miss
A tailor-made suit or dress from Yaly Couture. A morning cooking class at Red Bridge. An evening drifting paper lanterns down the river.
