Most shops now accept internationally recognized credit cards. Shops and market accept US dollars and Vietnamese Dong; at markets your change will be returned in Dong. There is no goverment tax on shop purchases.
Shopping and markets
When it comes to shopping for crafts, silk, accessories and souvenirs, Hanoi now offers the best overall choice, quality and value for money in the country. Specialities of the region are embroideries, wood- and stone- carvings, inlay work and lacquer, and the best areas to browse are the south of the Old Quarter and the streets around St Joseph's Cathedral. Though smarter establishments increasingly have fixed prices, at many shops you'll be expected to bargain, and the same goes, naturally, for market stalls. Hanoi has over fifty markets, selling predominantly foodstuffs; for a greater variety of wares, Cho Dong Xuan and Cho Hom sell almost everything. A recent innovation is a weekly night market (Fri– Sun 6.30–11pm) in the Old Quarter when Hang Dao is closed to traffic. Stalls sell mainly clothes, toys and gimmicks aimed at locals, but it's worth a wander for the atmosphere if nothing else.
One of Hanoi's more unusual and colourful markets, though you'll have to be up early to catch it, is the flower market held each dawn beside Nghi Tam Avenue at its most northerly junction with Yen Phu; action starts around 4am (5am in winter), and lasts around two hours. This is primarily a wholesale market catering to the city's army of itinerant flower-sellers, so prices are that bit cheaper than in town and you'll find people peddling wicker baskets, ferns and ribbons besides bundles of fresh-cut blooms.
