On Friday to Sunday evenings the streets from Hang Dao to Dong Xuan close to traffic and transform into Hanois weekend night market, a long ribbon of stalls selling clothing, accessories, souvenirs and street food. Crowds stroll the pedestrianised lanes amid music and performances around Hoan Kiem Lake. The lively market is a popular way to shop for bargains and soak up the citys weekend atmosphere in the Old Quarter.
