Rent a scooter and head north on Hai Bà Trưng street for about 5 km until you reach An Bang beach. Park your bike at any one of the restaurants where you’re required to buy a drink for the owner to “watch” your bike. But it’s a good idea to get a water, because the beach is hot. You can lounge there all day either with a in the sand or in a lounge chair that you can rent. There are plenty of restaurants around so you won’t go hungry.

2: Get something tailor-made

Tailor Custom made Suit - Danang Private Car

One reason people come to Hoi An is because it’s one of the cheapest places in the world to get custom-made suits and dresses. We went with a popular (but cheaper) tailor to get a suit made for Ben. While he was happy with the final product we wouldn’t recommend this shop because the service was not great. Make sure to do your research before you shop and only go to top rated places. We stopped in Kimmy Tailors in Hoi An and from what we experienced (and heard from others) we would recommend them if you’re looking for a place to have a suit made. I also decided (last minute) to have a dress made, because why not?! Since I just wanted something fun and inexpensive, I stopped in a shop where the girl seemed friendly and the fabrics were pretty. I was happy with the dressed I had made. Tip: If you are getting something custom-made, be PICKY. They will tell you what is possible when it comes to alterations, but sometimes the shops want to make your clothing as quickly as possible. Be sure you are happy, especially if you are having something important (like a suit) made. 

3. Have lunch at the local market

My Quang Nodle

Hoi An is famous for cao lầu (noodle dish) because Hoi An is the only place you can order it. The fresh noodles are made using water from a special well in the city that gives them the unique taste. The dish is delicious and the best place to try it is at the local market. Sit down at any of the stalls and order a bowl for yourself, just make sure you know the price before you order.

4. Explore the historic downtown at night

This town really comes alive at night. The streets fill up with food stalls, plastic chairs and hungry travelers. Sit by the Thu Bồn River and watch as people stroll by. Be stunned by the beauty of the four-century old Japanese covered bridge. Interact with other travelers and locals, and take in the sights, sounds and smells of this historic city.

5. Head across the river to the cheap bars and nightclubs

There are a plethora of small bars just over the bridge and you’ll be surprised by their names. Pop in a grab a drink at Tiger Tiger Bar or Mr. Bean Bar or even perfectly named Backpackers Bar. They all seem to have the same happy hour deals so it just depends on what’s your fancy.

6. My Son Ruins

Rent a motorbike and get out of town. A trip to My Son ruins is a good way to spend part of a day if you have the time (we wouldn’t recommend going out of your way for it though). If you’ve been to the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia you’ll be disappointed, but since we hadn’t yet it was interesting to see and stop in a nearby village for lunch.
