The Best Shopping

Ben Thanh Market: Ben Thanh is a city landmark and a great place to pick up cheap, ready-made clothing, souvenirs, and an authentic Vietnamese lunch.

Hoi An: This is Vietnam's shopping mecca. Get clothes made to order for peanuts -- some travelers even bring their own patterns -- or browse galleries and chic little boutiques. The town is an ancient mercantile center, and community collectives still practice wood and stone carving.

Dong Khoi Street: Once the cultural heart of colonial Cochin China, and later the busy R&R street of war-weary U.S. troops, Dong Khoi is still the cultural pulse of urban Vietnam but now pays homage to style. Trendy boutiques, chic cafes, and fine dining line the busy road.

Hoan Kiem Area: Throw a rock and chances are you'll hit a gallery or shop in the busy city center of Hanoi. Shopping is chockablock and prices are as good as you can haggle them down to.
