Hoi An Market

It's a lovely rustic place with lots of culture and history. Being so many years old, the infrastructure and the cleanliness were amazing. The cafe and baguette shops around the river are amazing. The lighting and the beautiful river cruise are totally worth it, and what an experience!! It is the right time to visit the places really in the evening. The whole market is buzzing , there's music, lights and beautifully decorated.

Beautiful setting and even more so after dark. Pity about the ticket touts at the ancient town. Why not just pay to view the attractions at the entrance instead of having to be forced to buy a bulk ticket. Overall great to look at and admire the beauty but only really good for a single days visit.

Loved the architecture and French colonial influences I could see. Lots of see and smell, many great coffee places and some pagodas dotted out across the streets. Only frustrating thing was there were no cars allowed which was fine but motorbikes would constantly come down the streets which weren’t very wide anyway and you have to keep your wits about you.

Lovely market. I got some silk lanterns. Enjoyed some snacks and salted coffee. Very friendly, but not pushy, traders. Take your time. Ask for information. Haggle respectfully and with good humour. Watch out for cyclos (although they’ll yell out to you if you’re in the way!) Try everything- it’s cheap fun.

Way too busy. And it's not that the market and buyers are the issue. Places like Hoi An and any other instagramable locations are becoming more and more touristy. There is a constant battle of keeping saying no to the people who try to offer you anything from coffee, leather goods, and souvenirs to boat trips every step on the way. My personal recommendation? Go early, at sunrise. The streets are quiet and peaceful. This is when you can really see the place.

If it’s raining or drizzling better wear your raincoat and carry your umbrella around because it will be a long walk and you might end up buying a really expensive umbrella. Besides that it was awesome, people are friendly… very charming! Great live music at Wonderlust😊😀

A place NOT to be missed. Very traditional and perfect to buy something local. People are incredibly kind and helpful. Don't hesitate to haggle politely and grab yourself a bargain! Cooking spices are a steal!

Don't pay the first price you're told, they ask for 5x the actual. A designer teeshirt is less than 200,000 (about 8 USD) but a young lady wasn't ashamed to ask me 750,000 vnd. I just walked away. And she's not alone. You're dealing w highly smart vendors who will take advantage of you if you aint careful. However the market looks quirky and beautiful w loads of things to see, do and buy. I loved food in the market. Quite affordable too compared to Saigon. Also did a 30 min boat ride for 200,000 vnd. Worth the visit.
