Ban co market at Q3
Located off Ban Co Street between Nguyen Dinh Chieu and Dien Bien Phu, Ban Co market is a world in itself. There are no foreigners here, only local Viets getting on with their daily lives. Speaking English is not an option.
You can clothes of all types, gold jewellery, handbags, fruit, plenty of fresh seafood, meat, medications, cakes, material, vegetables, crockery, and many other items. There are dozens of local eating places and local cafes. Like many markets in Vietnam, the person who sells, say, bananas will be in a completely different part of the market to the person who sells limes. You have to wander around and eventually find them. But that is part of the fun. It’s never dull.
