Overview

Imperial Hue, the Hai Van coast and Hoi An

Spend three nights in Hue with time for the Imperial City, a royal tomb and residential culture, then cross Hai Van Pass toward Da Nang and Hoi An.

Two nights in Hoi An allow time for its trading streets, food and craft. A single Da Nang visit can be added along the transfer without crowding the day.

Route and overnight stops

The route gives Hue the larger share because its sites are dispersed and layered; Hoi An then provides a compact, walkable conclusion with optional countryside or Mỹ Sơn depth.
