Reaching Out Arts & Crafts

This ethical craft and souvenir shop supports artists with disabilities, selling their original designs while making a tangible impact on the lives of disadvantaged local creators. The wares themselves are of excellent quality and range from silver jewellery (which is a great buy here) to linens, tableware, and home decor pieces.

Đường Phan Bội Châu (Rue des Arts)

Formerly the main street of Hoi An's French Quarter, Phan Bội Châu is currently going through a renaissance: art galleries, exhibition spaces and sophisticated craft boutiques have opened shop here, bringing the street to the forefront of the town's cultural life. There is a free guide to the area's venues that can be picked up free of charge.

Hoi An Night Market

From 6 to 9 pm daily, Hoi An's Nguyen Hoang Street transforms into a 300-metre long bustling night market, unfolding underneath a myriad colourful lanterns. It's a great place to stock up on souvenirs: prices are low and can get even lower if you don't hesitate to haggle: prices can go down up to 70% from starting level.

Hoi An Central Market

The bustling Hoi An market takes a little getting used to: it's distinctly more hectic than the downtown area and teems with local vendors and shoppers as much as it does with tourists. Abundant Asian herbs, souvenirs like lacquered coconut shell bowls, Vietnamese coffee-makers and traditional cone hats are some of the wares on sale. Of particular interest are the indoor food stands serving up scrumptious snacks at some of the lowest prices in town.
