Hoi An is absolutely dreamy — imagine a magical city of lanterns, golden evenings by the river, and streets packed with history and color 🏮✨ Here’s my pocket guide to exploring Hoi An Old Town, an absolute stunner of a UNESCO spot! Must-See Places: Hoi An Old Town (Old Town, Hội An, Quảng Nam 008454, Vietnam) is your main stage! It's open all day, year-round, and you can wander the charming lanes finding great Vietnamese coffee and food. Time your visit for sunset: the streets glow with hundreds of lanterns, and you’ll catch epic photo moments along the Thu Bon River. Wandering here feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli scene — no exaggeration! Don’t rush! Slow strolls mean more hidden gems: quirky temples, vintage tailor shops, tasty street eats, and yellow-washed French colonial buildings everywhere. Pro tip: grab a fresh bánh mì from any riverside vendor — totally worth it. Travel Hacks: Hoi An is walkable (and car traffic is restricted), so comfy shoes are a must! Rent a bicycle if you want to explore nearby beaches or villages. Carry a little cash for street eats and small shops; ATMs are around, but not everywhere takes cards. What & Where to Eat: Try the legendary Cao Lau noodles or a crispy White Rose dumpling — best at tiny local stalls inside the Old Town’s lane maze. Night market stalls offer endless snacks! Key Destination Tips: No visa needed for many travelers staying under 15 days, but check ahead! Weather’s best from Feb to April — bring light clothes and an umbrella just in case 🌦️ #HoiAnLanterns #VietnamTravel #StreetEats #SoloExplorer #TripDotCom
