The TRUE Cost of Hoi An: Affordable or Overpriced?
Visiting Hoi An for the first time and we were pretty nervous about the cost. We'd heard rumours of an overpriced and overhyped tourist-trap, and were keen to explore without blowing a hole in our budget.
Discover the real cost of Hoi An, one of Vietnam's most popular destinations! From affordable eats to unique experiences, we dive into what it's really like to explore Hoi An on a budget. Our journey starts with first impressions of the charming ancient town, followed by a look at Hoi An's famed coconut boats, the bustling Central Market, and an epic meal at Morning Glory. We reveal both hidden gems and surprising scams to help you enjoy the best of Hoi An without overspending. Thinking of visiting Hoi An? See how much everything truly costs and decide if it's worth the hype!
