The part of Hoi An most sought-after by visitors is its incredibly photogenic mustard-coloured Old Town, a UNESCO-listed collection of beautifully preserved buildings; some of these still function as private homes, while a total of 22 are open to the public and operate largely as museums. Of particular interest are historic merchant residences, some of which offer short guided tours (the Old House of Tan Ky is among the most interesting), and Chinese assembly halls used for gatherings and celebrations by individual ethnic groups. Visiting each attraction will require one of the 5 admission slips that come with a general Hoi An Ancient Town entry ticket.

The King's College building is emblematic of the University of Aberdeen, with its iconic 17th-century tower that features a stone replica of Charlemagne's crown at its top. Founded in the late 15th century, the historic university building is a major draw for tourists, and self-guided tours are available on the website.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a stunning 30-acre escape in the middle of the city. Stroll through the tropical rainforest inside the Fuqua Conservatory, walk the treetop canopy on the Kendeda Walkway, or check out the ever-changing seasonal displays. If you're visiting in the evening, the garden often hosts special events like Garden Lights, Holiday Nights in the winter.
