Hoi An: plan your visit
Ten practical guides to stays, famous places, flights, rail and car travel in Hoi An.
Choose your local base
An Ancient Town fringe stay helps with evening walks; An Bang prioritises beach time. Check the real route into town, especially if cycling or walking is central to your plans.
Famous places and a sensible route
Give the Ancient Town and Japanese Covered Bridge time on foot. An Bang is a separate coastal setting, so plan transport rather than assuming every hotel is beside both.
Arrival and onward travel
Air gateway: Da Nang (DAD), followed by road. Rail: Da Nang station, followed by road; Hoi An has no mainline passenger station.
A sample plan
Walk the old streets on arrival and return for lanterns in the evening. Put beach time on another half-day and confirm the return ride before leaving town.
