Hoi An is an appealing travel destination situated on the coast of the East Vietnam Sea in the Central Vietnam province of Quang Nam. This paradisiacal locale is globally praised for its unique blend of culture, architecture, and stunning natural beauty. Renowned as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hoi An is distinguished by its exceptionally well-preserved Ancient Town, where visitors can find a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with centuries-old Chinese-style shophouses, clot lanterns, and temples. Colorful and lively, Hoi An offers not only immersive historical experiences but also unparalleled culinary adventures, featuring iconic local dishes such as Cao Lau and White Rose Dumpling. The serene waters of the Thu Bon River, the golden sand of An Bang Beach, and the tranquility of rural paddy fields add to the allure of this destination, making Hoi An a must-visit on any Vietnam itinerary.

In Hoi An I felt very safe. I was traveling with my partner, but some nights, when he was in need of a break and just wanted to relax, I would go by my self to explore and find some fresh snacks at the streetfood-markets. Loved it!

You will feel very safe and the locals will take care of you and offer to help if you look lost or confused. I recommend walking around the Old Town at sunset and having a decent budget for jewelry and accessories. Clothing is overpriced and same pieces can be found much cheaper in Saigon with the same quality. Jewelry and accessories are exception and recommend buying here instead. Try to barter but also pay fairly for the item given the quality.
