Getting There & Around
How to get there
Hoi An does not have its own airport; most visitors arrive through Da Nang and transfer about 45 minutes by road.
Getting around
The Old Town is best explored on foot or by bicycle. Cars are restricted in parts of the centre, which helps keep the experience relaxed.
Season Notes
The drier months are easiest for walking and beach time. The rainy season can bring occasional flooding to the ancient quarter.
Local Flavours to Try
Practical Travel Tips
- Stay just outside the Old Town if you want quieter nights.
- Visit the lantern streets in the early evening before peak crowds.
- Combine tailoring appointments with free mornings at the beach.
