What to expect when visiting Hoi An
Hoi An is a charming city on Vietnam’s central coast. Once a major port, the mixed influences of Japanese, Chinese, and European merchants are still visible here.
Its Old Town is a well-preserved fusion of foreign and indigenous architecture, laid out in a small-scale model of a 15th to 19th-century trading hub. No wonder it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Travelling to Hoi An feels like walking back in time.

DaNang Airport to Hoi An by Public Bus*
There used to be cheap public buses that operated between Da Nang and Hoi An. But according to travellers who have recently taken this route, Bus #1 is not available anymore at Da Nang Bus Station and Hoi An Bus Station. This is the same bus that passes by Da Nang Airport.
Passengers who didn’t know that they had better options have been lured by touts to take an expensive taxi instead. This is why we advise that you pre-book your minivan or private transfer via BookAway when travelling from DaNang Airport to Hoi An and vice versa.
With BookAway, prices are fixed. You won’t have to haggle, and you can expect a professional driver.
Bus #1 from Da Nang to Hoi An (Not available as of February 2023)
Bus #1 used to run between Da Nang and Hoi An every 30 minutes from 05:30-17:50 daily. The ticket price was only 30,000 VND ($1.20), although ticket vendors would often charge up to 50,000 VND ($2) for tourists. Travel time was 1.5 hours.
The local bus was a cheap way to travel from DaNang Airport to Hoi An. But mainly used by locals, it wasn’t very spacious and did not have enough room for luggage.
The nearest bus stop to the airport was at 33 Dien Bien Phu in Than Khe District. You can reach it by taking a short motorbike taxi or a regular taxi ride from Da Nang Airport.
The bus arrival point was at Hoi An Bus Station, 2 km from the Old Town.

Hoi An Express/Barri Ann Travel operate daily shuttle buses from DaNang Airport to Hoi An and vice versa.
