Dam Market

Dam is Nha Trang's central market that's primarily a shopping spot for locals, but those temporarily in town might still enjoy browsing through endless exotic wares such as dried seafood and tropical fruit, and there are a few souvenir stands mixed in. There are lots of small eateries here, too, with prices that are often even lower than the already affordable median price tag.

Night Market

Vendors set up shop along Tran Phu Road every afternoon to compete for tourists' attention with wares such as cheap clothing, jewellery, accessories, and traditional souvenirs en masse – if you haggle, you'll likely get a substantial discount. Some stalls sell street food.
