Cat Linh street

Few people would know Cát Linh unless they really venture out into the city or stay at the Hotel de l'Opera Hanoi. This street is, in fact, a vibrant snapshot of local life in Hanoi. Cát Linh intersects with Giảng Võ on one end and Tôn Đức Thắng on the other. The street is renowned for its bathroom and tile products, featuring numerous showrooms and stores that offer everything you might need for your bathroom—from luxurious bathtubs to stylish faucets.

At night, the street transforms into a lively gathering spot for young people who appreciate tea culture. There are over a dozen street vendors selling “trà bát bảo,” a type of herbal tea that is naturally sweetened. This delightful tea is often paired with an assortment of seasonal fruits, and people enjoy it while seated on small stools or cozy mattresses. It’s a wonderful way to immerse yourself in Hanoi life!
