What to do in Hoi An besides walking around the Old Town?

Hoi An offers a huge number of activities besides walking along the picturesque streets. Here are the top things to do:

1. Beach relaxation. Hoi An's beaches (An Bang, Cua Dai) are located 4 km from the center. They are sandy, with palm trees and traditional round fishing boats. Perfect for relaxation.
2. Shopping in tailor shops. Hoi An is a city of artisans. Here you can buy souvenirs inexpensively or order custom-made clothing or shoes to your measurements in one of the many workshops, especially at the so-called "tailor market."
3. Visiting attractions with a single ticket. For 120,000 dong, you get access to 25 sites in the Old Town, including ancient houses, temples, and museums. Be sure to watch the traditional show.
4. Delicious food and cooking classes. Try local dishes at street cafes, the An Hoi night market, or the food court at Cho Ban Le market. Many restaurants offer cooking masterclasses.
5. Excursions to the surroundings. The most popular ones are trips to the Marble Mountains, the ancient temple ruins of My Son (UNESCO), Cham Island for diving, or to Da Nang to see the Golden Bridge.
6. Evening entertainment. Take a boat ride on the Thu Bon River, launch a sky lantern, or simply enjoy the view of the city immersed in the lights of hundreds of colorful lanterns.

Excursions can be booked at local agencies or online on trusted websites. We have detailed each type of leisure in our comprehensive guide: Hoi An (Hoi An) 2026: vacation, attractions, and practical information
