Nha Trang Night Market (Tran Phu night market)
Quick answer
The main open-air night market of the tourist district, at 46 Tran Phu in the former Loc Tho ward, a block back from the beach. Over 100 stalls run along roughly 500 m of lanes selling street food, dried seafood, coconut and cashew products, souvenirs, clothing and coffee. Entry is free; you pay only for what you buy. This is the market people mean by 'Nha Trang night market' - it is not the same as Dam Market, which is a daytime market.
