5 things to do in hoi an

Hoi An Fish Markets
Located behind the main market area on the river, the local Hoi An fish market is a real photographers dream. Best to visit around 6 – 7am each morning when it’s at it’s busiest.
Cooking Classes
Hoi An is a great place to do a cooking class. Many cafes and restaurants now offer classes. Many run over lunch meaning you miss the heat of the day, while others run over dinner. One of the best in town is at Hai’s Scout Cafe (98 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street).
Shopping
Hoi An is one the shopping Mecca’s of Vietnam! Here you can buy sandals, lanterns, ceramics, tailor made clothing, bags, art work, crappy t-shirts, wood carvings, novels, bad looking hats and so much more!
Beach
Cau Dai Beach is located about 4km from the main part of town. It’s an easy, flat ride which should take the slowest person around 30 minutes. On the beach you’ll find a stack of cafes all selling cold drinks and fresh seafood! My favorite cafe there is called “Hon” Cafe and they do the best Crab in Tamarind Sauce. The swimming is good as well!
Hire a Bicycle
Hoi An being flat and not so busy with traffic, makes it a great place to hire a bike to ride around and visit all those great places. Bikes cost only $1USD per day and can be hired from just about anywhere. My advice: pick a road (or lane) and just go. You’ll see some great sites and get some amazing photos!
