Hanoi is known for its multi-cultural community and abundance of historical landmarks. In recent years, however, the city has carved a reputation as a premier shopping destination with its abundance of malls and markets.

Treat yourself to some new clothes, sample new cuisines, or simply entertain the kids. Let’s review all about Hanoi’s best indoor shopping scene. For starters, credit credits are typically accepted at all the stores. Unlike the capital city’s day and night markets, which will be cash only. However, markets tend to showcase an even wider array of goods that you won’t find at a typical mall.

For those visiting southern Vietnam, take a gander at Ho Chi Minh’s shopping malls.

Let’s look at the best shopping centers in Hanoi, in no particular order:

Lotte Center Hanoi

The 271 m (892 ft )Lotte Center is the third tallest building in Hanoi. Its lower floors house the Lotte Mart – a large, diverse mall selling everything from high-end fashion to home appliances. The Lotte Mart is home to over 200 of the world’s most famous and sought-after brands.

Its first floors are dedicated to fashion, whereas the upper echelons specialize in household items. What makes the Lotte Mart stand out, however, is the chance to visit the spectacular observation deck located on the building’s 65th floor. Here, you will witness unrivaled views of sprawling Hanoi. A rooftop restaurant, named Top of Hanoi, is located at the building’s apex.

With its luxury shops and fine rooftop views, Lotte Center is one of Hanoi’s premier malls. More of a tourist attraction than a mere shopping facility, it’s popular with tourists and locals alike. Lotte Center can be found at 54 Phố Liễu Giai. The building was completed in 2014 and also houses a luxury hotel, a spa, and premier office space. The mall is open from 9:30 am until 10 pm.

Hang Da Galleria Shopping Mall

Located in the heart of Hanoi, the Hang Da Galleria Shopping Mall offers a versatile range of local and imported goods. Housed in a charming three-story building, this mall has been a Hanoi favorite for generations. Prices here are generally more reasonable, however, the selection is more limited and niche. At the mall, you will find imported wine, fine fabrics, and colorful flowers.

There’s also a wide array of pristine second-hand clothes – catering to both men and women. Fancy picking up a souvenir? The Hang Da Mall offers quirky trinkets galore. The Hang Da Mall gets extremely busy on weekends, so aim to visit during the quieter morning period or the peaceful midweek. It’s open from 9 am until 10 pm.

Located on the outskirts of Hanoi, the Vincom Royal City Mall is one of the city’s largest and grandest. With a grand appearance, white facade, and monolithic stone pillars, it resembles something from Ancient Rome rather than modern Hanoi – and its selection is fitting for those looking to treat themselves.

Much like its HCMC equivalent, Vincom Mega Mall is home to industry-leading brands and a diverse network of restaurants. Shoppers will be spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting their ideal household, fashion, or technological items. Prices vary and bartering is nonexistent due to the mall’s sleek, globalized nature.

Shopping isn’t the only highlight of the Mega Mall, as there’s also a kids’ area, an ice rink, and even a waterpark. It should be mentioned that these amenities are incredibly busy over the weekends. With impressive architecture and bustling atmosphere, and it’s no wonder why this mall is so popular with Hanoi’s residents. The mall is open from 10 am until 9:30 pm.

Trang Tien Plaza Shopping Center

Originally opened in 1901, Trang Tien Shopping Center is one of the oldest malls in the city. As you meander through the grand, Georgian-Esque halls, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve been transported back in time to the first-class decks of the Titanic. Shopping at Trang Tien Shopping Center features fashion, technology, and grocery departments.

On the uppermost floors, an expansive food court can be found as well as several offices. Trang Tien Plaza is open from 9 am to 9 pm on weekdays, with an extra 90 minutes added on during weekends. As is the case with all major Hanoi malls, it’s best to avoid weekends if you wish to use all the amenities.

AEON Mall Long Bien

One of the largest malls in Hanoi, AEON Center caters to both a local and international audience. Here, you can find household brands and famous names, along with several food outlets serving a diverse menu.

Brands such as Adidas, New Balance, and Dr. Martens all have outlets in the AEON Mall, and there is plenty of English-speaking staff on-hand to guide your shopping experience. The AEON Mall is located in Long Bien, a 20-minute drive from the city’s Old Quarter. The mall is open daily from 10 am to 10 pm.

Hanoi’s worldwide fame is reflected in its tapestry of shopping outlets. If you’re planning a self-indulgent day away from the hustle and bustle of the hot city, you’ll have plenty of options to splash your cash.
