5,000 VND and instant new friends. (Source: Internet)Hoi An Ancient Town – a UNESCO World Heritage gem – is widely regarded as Vietnam’s friendliest and most social destination for solo travelers. With its lantern-lit streets, riverside cafés, affordable rooftop bars, and daily influx of international backpackers and independent explorers, meeting like-minded people happens naturally here. Whether you’re sipping 5,000 VND fresh beer at a bia hoi corner, joining a basket-boat ride at sunset, or sharing stories over cao lầu at a night-market stall, Hoi An turns solo trips into unforgettable shared adventures.
Legend Travel Group has been bringing solo travelers together in Hoi An since 2008 through our specially designed Vietnam Tours that guarantee you’ll never feel alone – even when traveling by yourself.
Rooftop Bars on Nguyen Phuc Chu Street
The strip overlooking Thu Bon River (Madam Khanh Rooftop, 3D Rooftop, Sky 1981) fills with solo travelers every sunset. Order a cocktail for 80,000–120,000 VND and strike up a conversation – everyone is here to meet people!
Bia Hoi Corners & Fresh Beer Stalls
Locals and travelers mix at tiny plastic-chair setups along Tran Phu and Bach Dang. A glass costs only 5,000–10,000 VND – the cheapest ice-breaker in Vietnam!
Why Not? Bar & Hostel (Tran Hung Dao Street)
Famous among backpackers for nightly events: pub quizzes, beer pong, live music, and free walking tours that start from the bar.
Hoi An Night Market & Food Street
Hundreds of travelers wander the stalls every evening. Sharing a table for white rose dumplings or banh mi is the easiest way to start chatting.
Coconut Basket Boat Tours at Sunset
The famous “basket boat dance” tours are packed with solo travelers laughing together as boats spin under the palm trees – pure joy and instant friendships!
An Bang Beach & Beach Bars
Just 4 km from town. Deckchair bars like The DeckHouse or Soul Kitchen host daily volleyball games and sunset drum circles that attract independent travelers.
Free Walking Tours & Cooking Classes
Most hostels and Legend Travel Group include these in their itineraries – perfect structured activities to meet people on day one.
