Dam Market
Chợ Đầm
Nha Trang's largest traditional market. Its round main building sells dried seafood, cashews, coffee and clothing, making it the first stop for local specialties.
Dam Market is in the north of the city center. It is Nha Trang's oldest and largest traditional market, and its iconic circular multi-story building was constructed in the 1970s. The ground floor specializes in dried goods and seafood: dried squid, dried shrimp, fish sauce, bird's nest and cashews. There is also Vietnamese coffee, dried fruit, fresh fruit, clothing and slippers. The surrounding streets have food stalls where you can try fish cake noodle soup (bun cha ca) and Vietnamese baguettes. Prices are negotiable; you can usually bargain down to 60–70% of the asking price. The market is busiest from 7 to 11 a.m., and some stalls close in the afternoon. It is crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings. A taxi from the beach takes about 10 minutes.
