Dong Xuan Market

Dong Xuan Market is located in the heart of Hanoi. It was built by French colonizers in 1889. The last extensive renovation took place after a large-scale fire in 1994, while maintaining the original design of the structure.

Dong Xuan is currently the largest covered market in the city. Its distinctive feature is five arched entrances with domes towering above them. The total area of the market is about 6.5 thousand square meters. This large three-storey building offers a cornucopia of all kinds of goods for all occasions. Hundreds of stalls with thousands of workers sell groceries, household goods, appliances and more.

Here you can find many souvenir shops with traditional drawings, ceramics, lace and paintings in the sand. All kinds of cafes and restaurants offer a variety of exotic dishes. Dong Xuan Market has a long history of culture and traditions and is one of Hanoi’s most attractive tourist attractions.
