Hoi An Night Market : info and guided tour

About Hoi An Night Market

Hoi An Night Market is a night market located on An Hoi Island, on the edge of Hoi An Ancient Town. At dusk, it brings together street stalls, handmade goods, clothing, souvenirs, and many local specialties. Its atmosphere naturally extends the city’s trading life, long known for commerce and exchange.

The market is especially loved for its lively setting, animated by colorful lanterns that light up the lanes and nearby facades. This glow echoes Hoi An’s visual identity, famous for its preserved urban heritage and craft traditions. It is an easy walk, but a very immersive one, among handmade items, textiles, and small shops.

Hoi An Night Market has become one of the best-known places to discover the city after sunset. You will often find lanterns, silk items, local sweets, and products inspired by Vietnamese craftsmanship. Its popularity comes as much from the lively market atmosphere as from the contrast between the evening crowds and the calm of the nearby ancient town.
