Hội An is a city lying on the banks of the Thu Bồn River in central Vietnam. Its historic old town area is famous for its unique architecture.
My suggestion
If you rise early, don't worry: you can always pay a visit to the market near the bridge. You'll find piles of vegetables, fruit and fish of every colour there, making for some beautiful photos.

Hoi An is a town in northern Vietnam that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
My suggestion
Take the time to wander around the town centre at night to see the town lit up by hundreds of lanterns in a fairytale atmosphere.

The historic town of Hoi An will charm you with its architecture, its river, and its pedestrian streets that are decorated with lanterns. Though beset by tourists, Hoi An remains an unmissable part of any visit to Vietnam.
My suggestion
The "pass card" that allows you to visit five tourist sites isn't essential but it is still worth a look. Don't hesitate to escape by bike and explore the area around Hoi An - it's worth the effort.
I'd like to give an insight into Hué, a tourist town that was once an imperial city and is famous throughout the country for its food! But what tourists often don't realise is that there are numerous wonderful sites just a few kilometres from this town that are seldom visited but are nonetheless authentic and magnificent
Blue Hmong, Red Dao, Black Lolo... The ethnic minority groups living in the misty mountains of Northern Vietnam form a true patchwork quilt of different cultures. Going to meet them is guaranteed to be an intense trip that would only equal coming into contact with other ancestral peoples.
