TL;DR
For clothes and general shopping, most people go to Đầm Market, while the Nha Trang Night Market on Tran Phu is better for an evening walk and souvenirs. Local markets in the north and south are more useful for everyday shopping than for a big tourist-style selection.
If you want the biggest clothing market in Nha Trang, the usual first stop is Chợ Đầm. It is the city’s main market near the center, with clothes, shoes, bags, luggage, household items, and souvenirs; prices usually depend on bargaining.
For small electronics like a speaker, cables, earphones, or chargers, it is more practical to check regular electronics shops in the center and the shopping streets around Đầm Market rather than the tourist night market. Night stalls may have such items, but the selection and reliability are usually worse.
If you are looking for an evening market with souvenirs and fun small items, people usually mean the Nha Trang Night Market on Trần Phú in the tourist area. It sells magnets, clothes, accessories, street food, and small gifts; it is better for browsing than for the lowest prices.
There are markets in North Nha Trang, but they are mostly local morning and daytime markets for residents: produce, seafood, vegetables, cheap clothes, and household goods. They are worth visiting for a local feel and everyday shopping, but not for a large souvenir selection.
Markets and fairs in South Nha Trang are usually smaller than the central ones and aimed more at locals: fresh food, cooked dishes, basic clothing, and household essentials. They are fine for a quick look at local market life, but for serious shopping it is easier to head to the center.
Prices at Nha Trang markets usually require comparison and bargaining, especially for clothes and souvenirs. Local daytime markets tend to be closer to everyday pricing, while tourist areas on Trần Phú and the night market often start higher.
