Although Hoi An is perfectly walkable, cycling is an easy way of getting around, if your itinerary extends beyond the Old Town (including An Bang Beach). The Hoi An Old Town is closed off to all motorised traffic (including motorbikes) on most days, between 8.30 and 11.00 and then again 15.00 to 21.30, which means streets can be comfortably navigated by cyclists and pedestrians. Many hotels and guest houses offer bike rental services (or even complimentary bicycle use in some cases), but multiple bike rental shops operate throughout town as well. Prices are normally very reasonable and can be as low as 1 USD per day (depending on the bike). Single-gear bikes will suffice for cycling through town, but mountain bikes are recommended for those who wish to venture into the countryside. While locals will often be seen riding without helmets on, we recommend asking for one at your bike hire provider to ensure safety.

Hattiloo is a modern 75-seat theater and performing arts venue that vehemently supports African-American culture, featuring black artists, playwrights, and actors from all over the country, and giving them a platform to tell their stories and have their voices heard.

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 of colourful lanterns. It's a great place to stock up on souvenirs: prices are low and can get even lower for those with haggling skills.
