The best thing about shopping in Hanoi\u00a0is that you can do it all on foot, with many streets dedicated to specific trades.\r\n\r\nThis is particularly true in the Old Quarter, where Silk Street and Silver Street still retain their particular trades after hundreds of years. Whether you are looking for gimmicky souvenirs such as Vietnamese farming hats or a hand-made silk evening gown, we have compiled a list of great places to shop in Hanoi.\r\n

Shopping street in Hoan Kiem district<\/h3>\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nHang Gai Street is a great place to pick up some high quality, fashionable silk items in Hanoi.

Squeezed in between the high profile boutiques are some excellent art galleries and narrow souvenir shops selling far cheaper items.\r\n\r\nphoto by\u00a0Gary Todd\u00a0<\/a>(CC0 1.0<\/a>)\u00a0modified\r\n

9.Hang Dau Street<\/h2>\r\n

Shopping street specialising in shoes<\/h3>\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nHang Dau Street is quite unbelievable at first glance because of the sheer amount of shops selling 1 thing: shoes.
