The one real admission ticket
Confusingly for first-timers, there is only one official admission in Hoi An: the old town ticket at 120,000 VND, about $5. It covers five heritage sites of your choice. Everything else people call a ticket is really a tour or activity that you book online.
What to book ahead
The experiences worth reserving early are the ones with limited group sizes and strong demand. Top of the list is a cooking class from $27, followed by the Golden Bridge day tour from $21 and an early My Son tour from $19. All three offer free cancellation, so booking ahead carries little risk.
What you can sort on the day
Cheaper, flexible activities like a basket boat ride from $5 or a countryside bike tour from $30 rarely sell out and can be added once you arrive. Transfers from Da Nang airport are best pre-booked for a fixed price, from $5.
