With 36 streets all named after the product or material they sell, Old Quarter is the lively commercial hub and heart of the town, and also where you'll find the most backpackers and tourists. During the day you can meander through endless markets, street food stalls and hip cafes, with many buildings hiding interior courtyards. Nighttime finds a lot of cheap drinks and accessible revelry, with stools, small tables and mixed crowds of locals and visitors alike spilling out onto the sidewalks.
