What people say
Carrine Eng
"Entrance: 120,000 VND / 5 USD
Walk around Ancient Town (or Old Town), you can easily find food and souvenirs around. I recommend a guided tour to further appreciate how the histories of different cultures connect in Hoi An.
The entrance fee helps raise funds for the preservation of the world heritage as well as its thousands of old buildings.
The Old Town housed:
- Japanese bridge: a local icon with a legendary monster tale that controls earthquakes and floods
- dry & wet market: where locals buy fresh ingredients
- cloth market sector: where tailored clothes are made
(highly recommend a local history tour to learn more!) "
