Accordingly, Hoi An ranked fourth in the list.

Travel+Leisure said that the coastal Vietnamese city which is a World Heritage site is ideal for foodies, with delicacies such as Bánh Mì (baguette) and Cao Lầu (Hoi An’s sacred noodle dish) being favourites with visitors. This can be seen through the preservation of its trading port and its architecture which reflects multiple styles through the ages.

It suggested that foreign visitors should fly into Da Nang International Airport before taking a bus or car to reach their final destination.
