Nha Tho Street is a 110-meter long street in Hanoi lined with trendy boutique stores selling top quality items that you won’t find anywhere else in Hanoi. This street is a popular shopping destination for Hanoi’s sophisticated middleclass and foreign expat community due to the quality of goods sold here.
You’ll find stores selling good quality items including traditional, elegant lacquer ware, propaganda posters, cotton and linen hand embroidery, pillowcases and lingerie travel bags amongst many other items and there are also several nice restaurants located here.
Some of the best shops on Nha Tho Street are Ajisai Hanoi, which sells local trinkets and souvenirs, The Hanoi Gallery sells interesting old propaganda posters and May which sells cotton and linen hand embroidery. Nha Tho Street is also known as “Church Street,” as it terminates at Saint Joseph’s Cathedral.
