Hoi An Central Market is probably one of the best places to try authentic Vietnamese cuisine. One can pop into any of the food stalls and treat yourself to a wide range of dishes including noodles. Dumplings, pancakes, rolls made of rice paper, Cau lo, Pho and Mi quang are some of the other popular dishes at the market. There is an interesting mix of flavour in these dishes and the spices, the thick sauce and the broth is sure to feed your Asian food appetite.

Hoi An was once the centre of the spice trade and was a major international port that attracted people from across the globe. It still lives up to its name as there are many tourists who just come to the market to hang out and enjoy some food. The vendors are extremely friendly and want to please visiotrs with their dishes. If you are adventurous when it comes to food, just pick out something random from the dishes available and you never know what may surprise your taste buds. Food is just one aspect of the market and if you want to try out some Vietnamese silk check out the tailoring shops; tailoring is extremely affordable and one can always get something sewn for those back at home.

When looking for a Hoi An hotel makes sure you choose a location that is convenient. A Hoi An spa resort would be the best choice as it will offer comfortable rooms and have spa facilities that will help you unwind during your stay. One such options is Anantara Hoi An Resort which will help you have a truly memorable holiday.
