Checking the forecast… September–December: watch the flood forecast; riverside streets go under first. Keep indoor plans (cooking class, tailor, museum, lantern workshop) ready, and move to higher ground if water rises.

How this page is built

Built from Voykit's data; times and prices change

The rest are drawn from this guide’s own Hoi An lists: the things-to-do list, experiences and tours, drinking spots, weekly events, the rainy-day plan and the like-a-local picks. A city gets this page with at least 6 picks across 3 kinds.

“Tonight” and “this weekend” use your device clock converted to Hoi An time (Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh) and only list picks with set times in our data. Walk and ride times in the planner are straight-line estimates. The rain switch uses a live Open-Meteo forecast. Prices are local currency with an approximate conversion; anything marked check can change, so confirm on the venue’s own site before you go.
