Hanoi's largest traditional market covers three stories and two city blocks in the Old Quarter. With hundreds of stalls, the market is a great place to shop for Chinese knockoffs, homewares, and conical hats. But wandering the narrow lanes hand in hand also serves as a vibrant cultural immersion (the market is geared more to the local audience, not tourists). The top floors are dominated by the clothing industry, and you can have a tailor assemble a suit or Vietnamese-style garment in little more than a few hours.
