Two days in Hoi An
An Bang in the afternoon, the lanterns after dark. Day two is a village or a class, a slow afternoon, and a sunset boat. The empty old town is the morning you leave.
| Day | Where | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hoi An | An Bang, then the lanterns |
| 2 | Hoi An | A class or a village, then the river |
1 Day 1: An Bang, then the lanterns
Go to the water before the old town. The lanes are the evening, not the arrival.
- An Bang for the afternoon. Claim a seat in sight of the water. The swim fee is Check on arrival.
- The old town after dark: the covered bridge, Tan Ky House, the halls, the market, and cao lầu.
- White rose dumplings and grilled fish if you eat by the Thu Bon. Mai Fish is the named courtyard.
- Japanese Covered Bridge before you turn back. From 10 August 2026 the city fee is 20,000 VND per person per building.
- A tailor or silver only if you want it that night. Bebe, Mr Xe, and Lotus Jewellery on Trần Phú are the named shops.
Search Old Town hotels for the night.
2 Day 2: A class or a village, then the river
Use the morning for one outing, not three. The sunset boat is the evening. The empty streets are the morning you leave.
- A cooking class, a countryside ride, or a craft hour. Tra Que, Thanh Ha, and Kim Bong are each a morning. Cam Thanh is a boat hour and the fee is 30,000 VND. How many fit is Check on arrival.
- Thanh Ha if the hour is pottery. A lantern class or a cooking school that stops at the market or Tra Que is the other morning.
- A slow afternoon after that. Spa fees are Check on arrival. Reaching Out Teahouse is the sit-down in an old shophouse.
- A sunset boat on the Thu Bon. A fair ask is 200,000 to 300,000 VND for 30 minutes. Book through the hotel or bargain near the Central Market.
- Before 9:00 on the last morning, the old town is the quiet walk. Bánh mì or cao lầu, a temple while it is empty, then mì Quảng if you are still in town for lunch.
