Without doubt Hoi An is the place to go to immerse yourself in history and culture on your Vietnam travel. From the pagodas to the tailor shops, the town simply oozes with charm and is a delight to explore; and it is definitely a good idea to schedule a decent amount of time here on your Vietnam travel.

You’ll find Hoi An listed as one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites and it’s not difficult to see why. The old town is a network of narrow streets, hidden treasures and protected sites. 

The cultural tour of the old town isn’t for everyone, but this is not a problem as there is so much more to explore and enjoy. Additional activities to get involved in that will show you different side to the Vietnamese culture include cooking lessons, a visit to the My Son temple ruins or even getting a brand new set of clothes made by one of Hoi An’s famous tailors

If getting active is your thing, it is easy to rent a motorbike or bicycle for the day escaping the town and exploring the rural countryside, getting a taste of Vietnamese life away from the hustle and bustle.

If you have the time to spare on your Hoi An trip, it is definitely worth taking a guided tour of the My Son temple ruins where you’ll be able to explore the temple ruins left behind by the Champas rulers. Why not take advantage of the guided tours of the ruins, for a few dong you will find out the history of the ruins and be able to ask your guide any questions you wish.

Finally, why not just simply relax in one of the riverside cafes, take a short ride in a swan boat along the river or make your way to the beach?
