Keep complete peace of mind while diving into the heart of authentic Vietnamese culture.

1. Hanoi Weekend Night Market (Dong Xuan Area)

The biggest walking street market in the Old Quarter – every Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 6 PM. Hundreds of glowing red stalls selling everything from handmade souvenirs to sizzling street food.
Legend Travel Group’s Friday Night Market Small-Group Tour includes a local English-speaking leader who helps you bargain, taste, and navigate safely – perfect for first-time solo visitors.

2. Long Bien Night Food Market (Under the Historic Bridge)

The most authentic local experience – open nightly from 9 PM. Join fellow travelers on our Long Bien Foodie Adventure and try rare dishes like bún chả, phở cuốn, and fresh sugar-cane juice while watching trains rumble overhead.

3. Hom Market & Cho 19-12 Morning Wet Market

Start your day like a true Hanoian! Our Early Bird Market & Breakfast Tour (max 12 guests) takes you through fresh flower sections, live seafood stalls, and hidden coffee spots before the tourist crowds arrive.

The most romantic and photogenic market in Hanoi – open from midnight. Our exclusive Midnight Flower Market Experience is designed especially for solo travelers who love unique, off-the-beaten-path moments.
