Hoi An itineraries by trip length
Last updated . Town ticket rules, pedestrian hours, weather and site access can change. Check the named official sources before travel.
Hoi An is easiest when the Ancient Town gets time on foot and the surrounding countryside gets a separate half day. My Son is a different kind of heritage visit, so it works better as the third day than as a rushed extra.
How many days in Hoi An is enough?
3 days give you 1 full Ancient Town day, 1 countryside and beach day, and 1 My Son day.
Two days work for the old town and nearby countryside. Keep My Son for a third day rather than squeezing it into an evening transfer.
