## What to do in Hoi An in one day

The Old Town is a few streets along the Thu Bon River, all walkable. Market in the morning while the catch is fresh; houses and halls during the day, open roughly 8:00–17:00; lanterns in the evening.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate.

## The Old Town ticket

The ticket costs 80,000 or 120,000 VND and comes as coupons: one coupon per house, hall or temple. The Japanese Bridge and Quan Cong Temple share one. From 9:00 to 21:30 in summer and 21:00 in winter, motorbikes are banned from the Old Town.

## Hoi An at night

In the evening silk lanterns light up the streets. The [night market](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/hoi-an/hoi-an-night-market) on An Hoi island runs roughly 17:00 to 22:00–23:00: street food, souvenirs, and boats by the water where people float paper lanterns.

## Is one day in Hoi An enough?

For the Old Town, yes. [My Son Sanctuary](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/hoi-an/my-son-sanctuary) and [An Bang Beach](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/hoi-an/an-bang-beach) are day two. The [Cham Islands](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/hoi-an/cham-islands) offer snorkelling over coral, March to August.

## Tips

- The Old Town ticket has a limited number of coupons — choose where to go in advance.
- The Japanese Bridge crossing is open 9:00–11:00 and 15:00–22:00.
- Pagodas and temples want shoulders and knees covered; shoes come off at the door of the halls.
- Vietnam uses the dong (VND). Markets, pagodas and small cafés want cash; Grab is the easiest way to get a car or motorbike taxi.
- Hoi An tailors can make a suit in a day — get measured in the morning.
