Things to do at Hanoi Night Market

Shop until you drop.

Hanoi Night Market is a bustling market in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Fully equipped with endless Vietnamese souvenirs and cheap goods, it’s a shopper’s paradise! There are countless stalls selling everything from handicrafts, paintings, gimmicky souvenirs, jewellery, clothes, and electronics. If you’re looking for exotic gifts for your family and friends back home, you can easily pick up thoughtful items such as a non la (traditional cone hat) , customised paintings, or even a simple handmade pop-up card of a lady carrying baskets of fruit.

Whilst travelling in Vietnam, travellers and backpackers should certainly take the opportunity to pick up any new items they need for their onward journey. There are plenty of vendors selling cheap-as-chips backpacks, money belts, North Face jackets, and more. If you find that your clothes have torn, or just become too worn and discoloured, there is a variety of shorts, t-shirts, skirts and dresses to replace them at a fraction of the cost you would spend at home. Just make sure to brush up on your haggling skills. Haggling is a way of life here, so there is no need to beat around the bush.

Eat until your stomach is about to burs

As you stroll through the night market, the familiar smell of grilled meat fills the air. After all that shopping, you may as well treat yourself to a bite to eat. From sausage on a stick, and scrumptious spring rolls, to sweet potato fries sprinkled with a dusting of cheese powder, you’re sure to find something to satisfy your taste buds. If you have more of a sweet tooth, the ice cream rolls are a must-try! Or you could even tuck into a 5,000 vnd ($0.21) ice lolly on a stick made right in front of you by the portable spinning ice cream maker.

When is Hanoi Night Market open?

Friday from 6 pm – 12 am

Saturday from 6 pm – 12 am

Sunday from 6 pm – 12 am

Whilst the night market opens at 6 pm, we recommend heading there a little later. By 8 pm, all of the stalls are in full swing and the atmosphere is buzzin’ with locals and tourists rummaging their way through for a bargain.

Where is Hanoi Night Market?

The night market is situated on one of Hanoi’s busiest streets and stretches a whopping 3 km long; from Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square (the famous roundabout by Hoan Kiem Lake) to Dong Xuan Market Gate. Whilst you can start at either end of the market, we recommend you start at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square. This way you can start your evening with a stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake before tackling the night market. If you get tired of shopping halfway, you can always branch off onto Hang Buom Street. Aka. Bia Hoi Street!

How to get to Hanoi Night Market

The Night Market is conveniently located in the tourist district, with plenty of hotels and hostels within walking distance. If you happen to stay in the area, we recommend you walk. You can download Maps.Me on your phone to help you navigate to the start of the market. Just be careful of your surroundings and avoid using your phone on the main road. If you need to check your phone for directions, turn away from the road and hold your phone firmly, to avoid opportunists on bikes swiping it out of your hands.

If you’re not within walking distance of the market, you can easily take a taxi. We recommend downloading the Grab app. Grab works just like Uber. You can order a taxi and see the price beforehand. There is no need to book in advance. Taxis generally arrive within 5 – 10 minutes of placing an order. With the Grab app, you can choose to ride comfortably in a car or opt for a scooter taxi.

Whether you take a street taxi or a Grab taxi, we recommend you ask your driver to drop you off at 34 Hang Gai (the KingRoti Restaurant). This will make it easier for your driver to drop you off, as the roads around the night market are blocked for vehicles. Once you get out of the taxi, walk through the barriers and straight ahead. Here you will see the famous roundabout. To your left, you will find the entrance to Hanoi Night Market.

Essential tips for visiting Hanoi Night Market

As mentioned previously, haggling is a way of life in Vietnam. You will notice that most items on the market do not have price tags attached. Here is your chance to grab a great deal. Get a feel for the seller’s prices and use your common sense of how much things are worth. You can expect up to a 300% mark-up on prices. Haggle your way down and be prepared to walk away if the price is still too high. You will be surprised at how quickly vendors retract their initial offer.

Shop around

Don’t just jump at the first offer. There are plenty of stalls selling the same items. Shop around for deals. You can always go back to the start if the first deal was the best.

Buy more for a better deal

If you’re planning to buy a few items or souvenirs, or a non la (cone hat) ready for your basket boat trip in Hoi An, try to source them at the same stall. The more you buy, the better deal you will be able to negotiate. Don’t be afraid to ask for discounts if you’re purchasing more than one item. 9 times out of 10, the vendors will jump at the chance of a sale.

Be mindful of your personal belongings

Hanoi Night Market can get super crowded and busy. Be mindful of your personal property. Thieves and pickpockets operate in the area and can take the opportunity to brush past you whilst dipping their hands into your handbag. Keep your handbag close and make sure it is fastened at all times.

Avoid driving there yourself

The night market and the surrounding area are particularly busy during the weekend. Furthermore, police and security guards patrol the area. No vehicles are allowed to drive through the night market or around Hoan Kiem Lake on the weekends, including Fridays. Whilst you can park your bike at the entrance, it’s better to take a taxi or walk there to eliminate the risk of your bike “going missing”.

Tickets are just 100,000 vnd ($4.28) and shows take place every evening of the week.

Navigating Hanoi’s Night Markets: The Charm and the Challenges

When venturing into Hanoi’s night markets, it’s important to remember that these places are as authentic as they get. This means the experience, while rewarding and rich in culture, might sometimes present certain challenges. 

Here’s a realistic glimpse of what you might encounter:

Crowds and Commotion

These markets are incredibly popular, attracting a large number of locals and tourists alike. 

The narrow aisles can get quite crowded, especially during the weekend, so be prepared for some bustling activity and close quarters. This is part of the excitement, though, adding to the dynamic and energetic atmosphere that makes these markets so unique.

A Symphony of Scents

With so much fresh produce, cooked food, and people in a condensed area, the range of smells can be intense. 

While you’ll find yourself salivating at the scent of grilling meat or fresh herbs, sometimes the smells might be less pleasant. However, these diverse scents contribute to the full sensory experience that makes visiting these markets so memorable.

Mastering the Art of Bargaining

Bargaining is a common practice at these markets and is often expected. So, brace yourself for some friendly haggling to get the best prices.

Don’t worry if you’re not a pro – it’s all part of the experience. And who knows? You might just find yourself becoming a haggling master by the end of your trip.

Best Times to Visit

The night markets typically operate from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM on weekends (Friday to Sunday). However, the best time to visit would be around 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM . This is when the market is in full swing, and you can enjoy the lively atmosphere. 

However, if you prefer a smaller crowd, consider going early when the market opens or closer to closing time.

It is also best to visit the night markets from April to November when there is less chance of rain.

Cultural Nuances

Vietnam is a country rich in tradition, and respecting these cultural nuances can enhance your market experience:

Bargaining : Haggling over prices is a common practice at the markets. However, remember to do it in a friendly manner. It’s not just about getting the best deal, but also about engaging in a cultural exchange.

Dress Appropriately : Vietnam is a conservative country. While there are no strict dress codes for night markets, it’s respectful to avoid revealing clothing.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings : While Hanoi is generally safe , like in any crowded place, keep an eye on your belongings to avoid pickpocketing.

Food Etiquette : If you’re indulging in street food, observe how locals eat. For instance, it’s customary to use both hands when accepting a bowl or a plate.

Show Respect : Remember, the market isn’t just a tourist attraction, but a place where locals shop for their necessities. Be respectful and considerate.

Despite these challenges, Hanoi’s night markets still remain a must-visit for any traveler. They offer an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture, sample delicious street food, and shop for unique items. 

Just remember to embrace the experience as it comes – the good, the quirky, and everything in between. 

How to Get to Hanoi Night Market

Here’s more detailed information about getting there safely and cost-effectively.

Walking to the Market

If you’re staying within the Old Quarter, the easiest and most cost-effective way to get to the Hanoi Night Market is on foot. Just remember, the Old Quarter’s streets are maze-like, so having a map on hand is a good idea. 

Two of the best routes for pedestrians are:

• From Hoan Kiem Lake : The market is about a 10-minute walk northeast from Hoan Kiem Lake. Start at the lake and head towards Hang Gai Street, then turn left onto Hang Dao Street where the market is located.

• From St. Joseph’s Cathedral : Begin at the Cathedral, head east on Nha Tho Street, then make a right on Hang Dao Street. The market is about a 15-minute walk.
