Nha Trang

Hip to the bone, LIVIN Collective is a restaurant, hangout, co-working space and designer souvenir shop all at once. The store sells cool souvenirs designed by independent Vietnamese artists, which include items like posters and photographs, accessories, clothing, edibles, and more.

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.

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.

The air-conditioned Nha Trang Center is a nice respite from the outdoor heat with dozens of stores, a large supermarket and food court with several options (Vietnamese and international). The Center is located just across the road from the beach.
