If you're in Hanoi over the weekend, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Weekend Night Market. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening, several streets in the heart of the Old Quarter (primarily Hang Dao Street and surrounding areas) transform into a bustling pedestrian zone packed with stalls selling a vast array of goods, from clothing and accessories to souvenirs and handicrafts, often at bargain prices.

Beyond shopping, the market is a fantastic place to sample diverse Vietnamese street food from numerous vendors and soak up the lively energy. Expect large crowds, especially later in the evening. It's a fun, energetic experience where you can mingle with locals and tourists alike, enjoying the sights, sounds, and tastes of Hanoi after dark.
