On a day trip from Da Nang, visitors can experience Hoi An's UNESCO-listed Ancient Town, beginning with a visit to Madame Khanh – the Banh Mi Queen – for a highly-rated breakfast sandwich. The town is best explored on foot or by bicycle, with key stops including 92 Station Cafe for panoramic views, the Museum of Trade Ceramics, the bustling Day Market, and the 200-year-old Tan Ky ancestral house. A short five-minute ride from the center leads to An Bang Beach, an ideal spot to relax before sunset. Dinner at Sakura Restaurant offers river views as lanterns begin to glow, followed by a traditional lantern boat ride on the Hoai River. The evening continues at the Night Market for street food and souvenir shopping, and a final walk through the lantern-lit ancient streets reveals a quiet hidden alley away from the crowds. The trip suits tourists, couples, and families wanting a compact, self-guided cultural and culinary tour of Hoi An.
