Hoi An is one of Vietnam’s most charming destinations and a favourite among families thanks to its relaxed atmosphere, colourful lanterns and riverside setting. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ancient Town is perfect for exploring on foot, with narrow streets lined with historic buildings, local markets, cafés and tailor shops.

Families can enjoy lantern boat rides along the Thu Bon River, learn to cook Vietnamese cuisine, cycle through nearby rice paddies or relax on the beaches just a short drive from town. With its blend of history, culture and family-friendly activities, Hoi An is often considered one of the highlights of any Vietnam itinerary.
