So what’s good about Saigon? Besides the elegant boulevards and gorgeous French colonial architecture, it also has fascinating shopping malls springing up everywhere.

Vincom Center
Walking around the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, you can easily spot street vendors selling cheap fashion and accessories. For Vietnamese people, street vending has become an essential part of city life and a great alternative to markets. Products vary as widely as needs call for. However, bargaining is virtually a must, especially if you are a foreigner.
As far as we know, the fashion street vendors usually work in the evening and mainly appear on the popular roads such as Nguyen Trai (District 5), Cach Mang Thang Tam (District 10), Quang Trung (Go Vap District), Nguyen Anh Thu (District 12), and Thu Duc university campus. Every day, as day turns to night the streets take on a completely different appearance and atmosphere. There are all manners of goods: clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories for you to choose from.
Le Van Sy Street
This road has a fascinating assortment of clothing, dresses, footwear, and bedding at seriously low prices. Many street hawkers provide sales up to 50%-70% for numerous items.
Nguyen Trai Street
In addition to the fancy boutiques, amidst Nguyen Trai Street – one of the most bustling city streets in Ho Chi Minh City, there are street vendors heavily stocked with dresses, bags, backpacks, and shoes. The vendors are always happy to chat with foreigners and the whole place has a lively fun vibe about it.
Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street
No trip to Saigon would be complete without shopping the Nguyen Dinh Chieu street as this place is dubbed as the Vietnamese “footwear paradise”. A part of this street is set aside exclusively for male shoes. The shoe quality here is also good.
We hope that we have given you at least some insight into shopping in Saigon. Enjoy your time here and hopefully, you won’t have to pay for extra baggage weight when you leave Ho Chi Minh City.
