Hà Nội Old Quarter

Located in the western and northern parts of Hoàn Kiếm District, the area is famous for its network of 36 streets, each traditionally associated with a particular trade. Hàng Bạc Street sells jewelry, Hàng Thiếc Street sells metalwork, Hàng Bông Street sells bedding,… With its long history, the Old Quarter of Hà Nội symbolizes the cultural cradle of the people of old Thăng Long.

The area is both densely populated and one of the busiest commercial centers in Hà Thành. It is bordered by Trần Quang Khải and Trần Nhật Duật streets to the east, Phùng Hưng Street to the west, and Hàng Đậu Street to the north and south.

To this day, Hà Nội's Old Quarter continues working to preserve the capital's rich cultural and social heritage and remains a destination highly rated by visitors.
