During Lunar New Year (Tet) and National Day (September 2), government offices, banks, and many private businesses close for several days. Major supermarkets remain open with modified hours.
Saturday Banking Availability
Major commercial banks like Vietcombank and VietinBank keep select main branches open on Saturday morning from 08:00 to 11:30 for urgent teller services.
Old Quarter and Weekend Markets
Shops and food stalls in Hoan Kiem and the Old Quarter operate late into the night, especially during the weekend walking street market from Friday evening through Sunday.
Administrative Service Processing
