Shopping in Nha Trang

If there’s one thing any traveller should know before setting down in Nha Trang it’s this: bargain whenever you buy. Vendors are always friendly and helpful but are very unlikely to offer you the best price at first.

For standard daily supplies the A Mart stores are ideal. These are mini-supermarkets dotted all over the tourist areas and cater specifically for tourists and the goods they need. However, cheaper prices for many of the items, such as drinks, food and toiletry items are available from the more traditional independent family-run stores.

A bigger store, Maximark Supermarket, is located near the train station. This is a four storey building with a Western style of selling. The food market sells items expected by tourists while there is also a Japanese restaurant and a Jubilee fast food restaurant.

Specialist stores in the town include Bamboo, which sells t-shirts of all designs and colours, frequented by tourists. Groove Shack is a good place to stop by to top up an MP3 player while Anchor skateboard and surf shop sells brand new items in high demand with tourists.

Eating out can be affordable - or incredibly expensive. Bargaining is again the name of the game and visitors will quite easily find fantastic food at very low prices if they are a little more adventurous. Those looking for standard Western food are advised to stop by one of the many quality hotels in Nha Trang that serve standard fare at reasonable rates, offering quality service.
