How to Get to Hoi An Conveniently

Hoi An is located about 30 km from Da Nang city and currently does not have its own airport or train station serving direct routes. However, getting to the ancient town is quite easy thanks to the well-connected transportation system, suitable for both tour groups and independent travelers:

Flying is the fastest and most popular option. You can book a flight from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or other provinces to Da Nang International Airport. From there, traveling to Hoi An is very convenient, with options such as taxis, buses, pre-booked tourist cars, or shuttle services.
Taking the train is a cost-effective choice and offers a scenic experience, especially for those who enjoy the views along the way. Passengers can disembark at Da Nang Station and continue their journey by bus or taxi to Hoi An. Train travel time from Hanoi is about 16–18 hours, and from Ho Chi Minh City, it takes about 17–20 hours.
Buses and premium limousine services are also frequently chosen by many travelers. Routes from Hanoi – Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City – Hoi An, or Da Nang – Hoi An are regularly operated, with travel times depending on the departure point.
Motorbikes or private cars are especially suitable for those who enjoy freedom and exploration. Driving from Da Nang, Hue, or neighboring provinces not only provides flexibility with time but also offers an opportunity to admire the stunning natural scenery along the central coastal route.

Hoi An Travel Tips for June

June marks the bright summer season in Hoi An, with plenty of sunshine and clear skies, making it perfect for outdoor activities. However, to ensure your trip goes smoothly and fully, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:

Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen because the sun in June can be intense, especially at midday. Without proper protection, you may get fatigued or sunburned.
Plan your visits in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the harsh midday sun and enjoy the cooler air. This is also an ideal time for photography, with beautiful light and fewer crowds.
Carry your own water as you will be walking and moving around outdoors a lot. The hot weather can cause dehydration quickly.
Book your accommodations and services early, as June is the peak tourist season. Hotels, tours, and tickets for attractions can fill up quickly if you wait until the last minute.
Wear comfortable and modest clothing. Light, breathable, sweat-absorbent clothes are best when walking around, but still cover up if visiting temples or historical sites.
Bring small denominations of cash, as many street vendors, small shops, or bicycle rental places may not accept card payments or bank transfers. Having cash on hand will make things more convenient.
Check the weather before outdoor activities to avoid sudden rain or extreme heat. Adjust your itinerary accordingly for a more comfortable experience.

With a bit of preparation, your June trip to Hoi An will be smooth, fun, and full of memorable moments.
