Gift & souvenir shops around Đồng Khởi Street
The heart of District 1, where French colonial buildings remain. Along Đồng Khởi Street, which runs down from Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office to the river, long-established lacquer and embroidery shops mix with new ceramics and lifestyle stores. Shops are within walking distance of each other — a great starting point for first-time souvenir hunting.
