Hang Dau Street

Hàng Dầu is located on the eastern side of Hoan Kiem Lake and adjacent to the Soldiers' Monument. Historically, during the colonial era, this street was well-known for selling oil extracts that were utilized for medicinal and aromatic purposes. In 2025, Hàng Dầu has transformed into a bustling hub for footwear, where Hanoians flock to browse a vast array of shoes and sandals. Spanning the length of the street, numerous stores offer everything from comfortable Birkenstock sandals to elegant high heels. Visitors should be prepared to negotiate prices, as haggling is a common practice in this vibrant shopping area!
