Great variety, good prices & obliging staff. All shopping in the Old Quarter is made easy by having shops selling the same products in the one street. Do not be afraid of bargaining!!! but do smile & be polite!! all shopping More

We spent lots of time here visiting tailors and having suits, coats, dresses and jackets made. We were not disappointed in any of them and were very pleasantly surprised with the speed with which they were made and the value for money. We also bought a few pairs of prescription glasses and sunglasses at a fraction of the cost we... More

Got recommended from the hotel to be the place to buy silk. However we finally got nothing to buy from the wallet as it was stolen by somebody on the street. The hotel staff had reminded me before but it was still a moment of neglect that it all went out to nothing. Luckily we had the hotel man asked... More

You can bargain and get great prices. They have wonderful clothes already made, but you can also have something made up to suit you. Great street to explore More

This is the main drag of the tourist Old Quarter. It is fun to walk the 2nd and later times- the first time it is quite scary with all the traffic that does not heed the stop lights. There are many side streets more interesting to walk. More

This was our second visit to Hanoi in a period of seven years and we have had garments tailored for us around the World and based on our previous experience, we hoped to find a good tailor to have a few items of clothing made - a Casual Linen Jacket for my husband and some pants for me. I had... More
