Hoi An is located in Central Vietnam. Chances are if you are visiting Vietnam, you will be flying into Saigon or Hanoi. Either way, you will be able to get to Hoi An via bus or train, but you can fly into Hue and travel on land. Basically, you have options.
Historically, this wonderful place has been visited by the Portuguese, English, Chinese, Japanese and various other foreigners looking for new wares and trade opportunities.
You will find that in general most of the buildings have been restored both internally and externally, but general structures have remained in tact as they were hundreds of years ago.
Keep in mind that this is a very touristy area and you will likely experience groups of visitors throughout the year. As a result, the prices of souvenirs and food might be higher than other parts of Vietnam.
