Riverside Market and Can Tho Market Hall

Riverside market is a typical, local wet market located near the center of town. Come here to wander through the stalls with the locals and see the varied aquatic life (turtles, fish, and snakes, oh my!) and veggies on offer in the Mekong Delta. It's located next to the river, but unfortunately everything is indoors, so there's not much of a view and pretty much no ventilation. If you're squeamish about dirty feet, wear closed-toe shoes when you visit. Next door to Riverside is the old Can Tho Market Hall, which dates back to 1913. It's a dry market selling mostly clothes and trinkets. The market is housed in a bright, cheery yellow building and is very neat and tidy. It's geared for tourists. The Sao Hom restaurant at the back of the market is my top choice for a coffee break.
