Hội An is officially a global star again. Travel + Leisure just released its 2025 list of the Top 10 Best Cities in the World, and Vietnam’s most charming heritage town secured a proud spot at number 8.
That’s right—our beloved Hội An is rubbing shoulders with the likes of Kyoto, Udaipur, and San Miguel de Allende.
So, what makes this ancient riverside town a global favorite (again)? And why should travel businesses take note?
What travelers love about Hội An
It’s not just the glowing lanterns, cobbled streets, or tailor-made clothes. Here’s what keeps travelers returning:
- Authentic heritage: The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and you feel it in every corner.
- Street food heaven: From bánh mì to cao lầu, every bite tells a story.
- Laid-back lifestyle: No honking traffic, just bicycles, boats, and breezy riverside vibes.
- Sunset cruises and secret beaches: Cẩm Thanh coconut forests, An Bàng Beach, and eco-friendly basket boat tours are local favorites.

Why this is big news for travel partners
For tour operators, agents, and DMCs—this global recognition is more than a headline. It’s a powerful trust signal and conversion booster.
