SAPA Praha

Discovered this place on Google Maps at random, took a bus out from the city center (30-40min) because we didn’t have anything better to do. So glad we did! It’s really strange to walk around on a cold and cloudy day, and feel like you’ve been transported to Vietnam. It’s not polished or beautiful (it’s basically an overgrown parking lot with warehouses and shops) , but there are few tourists if any and there’s an authentic atmosphere (including a lack of construction safety) any South Asian person will recognise. There’s a small pagoda, lots of little food stalls (quắn ăn) as well as restaurants. There were a lot of things I wanted to try, so I recommend walking around for a bit before deciding. I think it could be improved with a bit more greenery and planted trees, better toilet facilities and road repairs, but at the end of the day it’s not a tourist destination. If you enjoy experiences out of the ordinary, it’s worth the trip.

Little Hanoi to be exact. They sell all kinds of Vietnamese products and northen style food like Banh Cuon, Bun Rieu, pho, my van than. Fun experience when visiting here.

Indeed a little Hanoi! Reminded me of the asian markets that sells a bunch of wholesale goodies. From plushies to food! You name it, they probably got it! Wouldnt be surprise if all the goodies you see in Prague touristy spots are sourced here. A must visit if you have a car, didnt seem to be a well traversed areas by public transport.

Authentic Vietnamese food but mostly from the north, I am coming from the South - Sai Gon and the popular in Vietnam nowadays is not up to date in here. Need to pay cash instead of cards so have to withdraw from atm near Tam Da Shop. Open in Easter 👍 in Norway, all shops close in public holiday 🫣

I was here to buy bulk Czek chocolates. The place is almost 10-20 % cheaper for all products than any standard super market in the city .

One of the best experiences I had in Praha. Must visit!

Vietnam wholesale market where you can also buy retail. Far from city center but should check out if you are interested in authentic Vietnamese food and cheap products.

A unique experience of Vietnamese culture all in one location with big and small eateries, supermarket and a labyrinth of shops and businesses. If you wish explore the place in depth on foot, plan at least 2-3 hours. There are no sheltered walkways and the pavements are haphazard and uneven. For those coming by bus, recommended to buy a return ticket as there are no vending machines at the busstop. Do some research on whether you want to see or eat before you come as the locations can be far apart and the choices are many.
