About Ancient Town

The Ancient Town is the UNESCO World Heritage core of Hoi An, a pedestrianized warren of 15th-19th century shophouses, the Japanese Covered Bridge, tailors and riverfront cafes that draws year-round tourism. Heritage property is tightly regulated and foreign ownership is leasehold-only, so most investors operate long-lease boutique stays; protected-building restrictions are the key constraint.
