Best Attractions in Hoi An (2026)

Hoi An's attractions fall into two groups: the heritage sites of the Ancient Town and the bigger sights on day trips. In the old town, the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Fujian Assembly Hall, Quan Cong Temple and Tan Ky Old House sit within a few minutes of each other on Tran Phu and Nguyen Thai Hoc Streets, alongside small museums such as the Museum of Trade Ceramics and the Museum of Folk Culture. Entry works through a combined ticket that covers the old town, either the bridge or Quan Cong Temple, and a set number of further sites, with a higher option that adds the museums. It can be used for up to three days, so there is no need to rush.

Opening hours vary by site, and some, such as Tan Ky Old House, close over lunch, so mornings and later afternoons are the best times for heritage visits. Keep your ticket stub, as it is needed to enter and leave the old town. Outside town, My Son Sanctuary, the ruined Cham temple complex about 35 km away, is best visited early in the morning, while the Marble Mountains fit neatly into a trip towards Da Nang. The Cham Islands, a marine protected area about 30 minutes offshore by boat, need a full day.
