Japanese Bridge in Hoian
See the Japanese Bridge ( Chùa Cầu Hội An)
The charming covered bridge has been remarkably well preserved over the centuries, is one of Hoi An top attractions, and is somewhat of an emblem for the city’s sense of inclusiveness.
This is a Hoi An must do. While Hoi An has a rich heritage, it’s also not ashamed of its links with other cultures. Way back in the 1590s, the Japanese community here wanted to create better links with the Chinese quarters of the town. They decided the best way to do that was to build a bridge that would cross the river, and bring the two sides together.
The charming covered bridge has been remarkably well preserved over the centuries, is one of Hoi An top attractions, and is somewhat of an emblem for the city’s sense of inclusiveness. Be warned, though- the bridge is due to be renovated in the near future, so catch it while you can!
You can join a half-day guided walking tour through Hoi An’s ancient town, or explore it at night when it becomes even more magical.

What Is The Best Time To Go To Hoi An?
The best months to visit Hoi An are February to May when the temperatures are warm but not too hot and humid. Keep in mind that it can get VERY hot and humid between June and August.
On the other hand, the rainy season lasts from September to January. It can be annoying, the temperatures are at their lowest, but prices are definitely lower and there are fewer tourists around.
Is Hoi An Worth Visiting?
A big fat YES! I wasn’t a big fan of other parts of Vietnam, to be honest, but Hoi An really conquered me. Its charming old town all lightened up at night, the boutique shops, the cobbled streets were some of my favorite Hoi An highlights. Hoi An NEEDS to be in your itinerary.
How Many Days in Hoi An?
When people ask me how long to stay in Hoi An, I always reply as long as you can. Can you tell I feel in love with this town? No, but seriously, I recommend staying for at least 3 nights.
But what to do in Hoi An for 3 days, you ask? Plenty! Go explore the city, go on some Hoi An day trips, try a cooking class, cycle by the paddy fields and relax at the beach. You can even do a homestay in Hoi An if that’s your thing. If you have time, stay even longer, you won’t regret it.
What To Buy in Hoi An?
In my opinion, after a month’s trip to Vietnam, Hoi An is the best place in Vietnam to shop for souvenirs. From custom made suits to lanterns for friends and family to artisanal souvenirs, make sure you leave some space in your luggage.
How To Get To Hoi An
Easy! Hoi An is very well linked. No matter where you are coming from, you can choose between bus, train (even sleeper train) or plane.
