Vietnam · Asia
Hoi An is lanterns on the river, tailors on the corner and a beach twenty minutes away. Small enough to learn in a day, good enough to stay a week.

When to go
February to May is dry and mild. October and November bring the heaviest rain and occasional flooding in the old town.
What is better with company in Hoi An
- Cooking classes and market tours, which are group-priced and quiet with one person
- Motorbike or car day trips to My Son and the Hai Van Pass
- Long dinners, since Vietnamese meals are built for a shared table
- Full moon lantern nights, which are a crowd event rather than a solo one
Practical notes
- The old town charges a ticket for its heritage sites; keep the stub.
- Tailoring takes at least two fittings, so allow three days if you want something made.
- Bicycles are the best way to reach An Bang beach.
- Cash is still king at markets, though cards work in most restaurants.
Events worth timing a trip to
Full moon lantern festival · Cooking school season
