Hoi An - The Old City of the Tailors


Ever wanted to have a suit made to your size and for real cheap? A coat maybe? A dress? If the answer for any of these questions is yes, or you just want to enjoy the nicest place in Vietnam, Hoi-An is just the place for you.

Hoi-An is a really small nice old city, situated by a river bank. Other than hundreds of tailor shops, it has a lot of beauty and style to offer, together with excellent food and a relaxed backpackers atmosphere.

And if you wandered.. no, we didn't get any suit or any other part of clothing. Instead we decided to support the local artisans - we bought plenty of beautiful painting on rice paper.

The beautiful lanterns of Hoi-An are one of the symbols of this city

Want a ride? The tricycle is the most popular mean of transportation for turists

We enjoyed the great food and drinks at VI cafe every day at Hoi-An

Yay! We are again at the beach







Or just by the pool of our hotel
