Setting up a home in Hanoi
We collected prices for the first household items someone moving or staying longer usually buys (8 November 2026).
| Product | Unit | Local price | About US$ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Towel | 1 piece | 119,000 VND | 4.72 $ |
| Pillow | 1 piece | 189,000 VND | 7.50 $ |
US dollar figures use Vietcombank's euro transfer rate (1 US dollar ≈ 25,207 VND).
How we collected the prices
- Prices were read one by one from the public online pages of chain stores.
- Each row is for one reference unit of that type of product; where we have several prices we use the median.
- We leave out promotional, members-only and out-of-stock prices; in-store prices and neighbourhoods can differ.
- Details are on the Data & methodology page.
