We're traveling to Hanoi next month and I am getting our itinerary ready...can anyone tell me what Hanoi Old Quarter is like and whether it's worth a visit?

hi there,

The Old Quarter in Hanoi is a must-stop in the city!

Here, you can enjoy one of the best shopping in the country. The city’s largest market, Dong Xuan, is located here and it was developed primary for the new and growing tourist trade.

The Old Quarter is home to dozens of brightly lit food stalls where you can enjoy dining on traditional Vietnamese street food until the wee hours of the morning.

There are also scores of crafts and souvenir shops spread over a huge two-block area, with wares that include traditional Dong Ho drawings and paintings, exquisite Bat Trang ceramics and pottery, hand embroidery and lace, sand paintings, and much more.
