4 hot spots in Hoi An Old Town 📍

Yellow walls and old tiled roofs, and even the lanterns reflected on the river at night.

Hoi An Old Town is fun for visiting famous spots, but its real charm lies in strolling slowly through the alleys and pausing to rest in front of the scenery.

We've put together four spots, from photogenic cafés to rooftops with great views and even a bike-ride route.

☕ Moments Hoi An

This is a café featuring the 'From Hoi An With Love' sign, one of the Old Town's most iconic photo spots. After snapping a photo in front of the sign, head inside and take a short break with a coconut coffee or a Vietnamese-style coffee. From the second-floor balcony, you can enjoy views of the street. If you'd like to take photos at a leisurely pace, consider stopping by early to avoid the busy hours. The address is 47 Lê Lợi.

🚲 Explore the Old Town and the riverside by bike

Rent a bicycle from your accommodation and take a leisurely ride around the Old Town and along the Hoai River. The alleys are crowded with pedestrians and tourists, and vehicle access may be restricted at certain times of day, so it's safer to get off and walk your bike through busy sections. If you'd like to enjoy the quiet streets, we recommend a morning stroll; if you want to see the lanterns light up, head to the riverside around sunset. Please check local information for traffic restriction hours before your visit.

🍃 92 Station Restaurant & Cafe

This is a multi-story café located at 쩐푸 거리 92번지 (92 Tran Phu Street). Head up to the rooftop on the upper floor and you can look out over the old tiled roofs of the Old Town, making it a great place to take a break and enjoy the view during a walk. Order a drink such as coconut coffee or Vietnamese-style coffee and take your time. Sunset is a great time to enjoy the view, but seats can get crowded, so it's best to arrive with plenty of time to spare.

📸 Lai Vien Bridge (Japanese Bridge)

This is Hoi An's iconic covered wooden bridge. It is known for having connected the Japanese quarter with other commercial districts, and its blend of Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese styles is truly impressive. Try capturing the bridge together with the surrounding alleys for a memorable souvenir photo. Located in the heart of the Old Town, it's a great spot to explore on foot along with other nearby attractions. Viewing and entry arrangements for the bridge may vary depending on on-site operations, so please check the guidance on the day of your visit.
