Hoi An Old Town
Having lived for three months in a town most tourists zip through in three days, I feel I can offer something to the zipping visitor in the way of recommendations for seeing, eating and doing. When you’re on a short holiday it’s always disappointing when you go to the mostly highly recommended restaurant and unknowingly choose their worst dish, or arrive at Lonely Planet’s suggested guesthouse, only to find they have since tripled their room prices and dramatically lowered the standard of cleanliness.
So, here are Fiona and my picks for this little heritage town. It’s a personal list, the things we did, saw, ate and liked. Even after three months, I’m sure we missed stuff too, so feel free to add your comments below.

I have included prices in Vietnamese Dong (VND) and US Dollars (USD) where I could remember them. Typically, the exchange rate is around 18,000 dong = 1 USD.
