Even before the engine purrs, the Old Town breathes around you—yellow shopfronts, lanterns tugged low across narrow lanes, and the smell of coffee seeping from a riverside stall. Climb aboard a vintage-style Vespa with an experienced driver and you move through Hoi An like a local: threading past wooden temples, slipping into back alleys, then spilling out into a landscape where rice paddies flatten toward the Thu Bon River and coconut groves rustle like a crowd of small voices.

Narrow alleys and open countryside rides are great for photos—use a neck strap or zip pocket to keep gear safe on the move.
