SHOPPING ITINERARY

 Put on your walking shoes and be ready to explore Hanoi on foot. To help you through your quest for souvenirs and useful goods, we have selected a number of addresses based on our knowledge of the city and our experience. Of course, these recommendations are subjective and we will appreciate your feedback. All your comments will be taken into account and will be updated continuously in our website.

We have imagined for you an itinerary that will take you to the major shopping sites downtown, starting with the Old Quarter.

• Cau Go and Hang Dau (near TIC), only two-minutes away from TIC, offer a large range of budget shores and sandals of all kinds.
• ST.Josept’s Cathedral is one of the most attractive areas of the old quarter, with its small streets and adjoining alleys (Hang Trong, Nha Tho, Nha Chung, Au Trieu) lined with fashion and accessories boutiques.
• Hang Gai offers ready-made and tailored silk clothing, embroidery, table cloth, along with knick-knacks and souvenirs. A good place to visit a few art galleries.
• In Luong Van Can St, get custom-made “AO DAI” in a few days and stun your friends back home.
• Hang Quat is the place to purchase colored funeral and festival flags and all kinds of religious objects and clothing.
• Hang Bac is one of the few streets still selling the products they are named after (“Bac” means sliver) and is lined with silver and jewellery shops. This is also the place where to find ethic embroideries and Vietnamese propaganda pictures and where to rent a Minsk, a Honda or a Scooter.
• Do not miss Lan Ong str, the best place to buy bottles of snake, sea-horse, or cobra wine, supposedly great remedies for all sorts of deficiencies, especially male… Hanoians comes here to buy traditional medicine, “ruou dan toc”, other herbs and plants.
• Hang Ma plays an important part in Hanoians’ life, as it supplies paper products such as gift wrappings, wedding decorations and miniature paper objects to burn for the dead.
• Ly Nam De is where to go for computers, laptop and components.
• Tong Duy Tan is the best place to end up your shopping spree. Late eaters love this alley which serves hot pot, chicken stewed with oriental herbal medicine, Pho and other Hanoi specialties.
