Overview
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is often referred to as Vietnam’s jewel and the Pearl of the Orient. Located in south Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is the country’s largest city, with more than six million people and over one million motorbikes. Under the current regime the city is once more being rebuilt. Whole blocks are disappearing, being replaced by concrete, steel and glass structures. Central Saigon, which is still the official name for the city center, shows evidence of the French colonial city, with wide, tree-lined boulevards, sidewalk cafés and elegant French architecture. The city is divided into two sections: Saigon, the municipal and historical district, and Cholon (Chinatown), where the entrepreneurial talent and private funds are concentrated. Cholon appears to be the most populated and in general the most vigorous part of Ho Chi Minh City. It is well worth a visit for its bustle and activity and its pagodas, which are reputed to be the finest in the whole city.
Start your day with a visit to the War Remnants Museum, a poignant reminder of the Vietnam War. The museum houses a vast collection of photographs, documents, and artifacts that provide a powerful insight into the war’s impact on Vietnam and its people.
Tip: Allocate at least 2 hours to fully explore the exhibits.
Admire the stunning French colonial architecture of the Saigon Central Post Office, designed by Gustave Eiffel. The grand interior, with its beautiful arches and mosaic tiles, offers a glimpse into the city’s colonial past.
Tip: Don’t forget to send a postcard from this historic location!
Just a short walk from the post office, the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon is an iconic landmark with its striking red-brick façade and twin bell towers.
Tip: Visit during the day for the best lighting and photo opportunities.
Experience the vibrant atmosphere of Ben Thanh Market, one of the city’s most famous markets. Here, you can find a variety of goods, from clothing and souvenirs to fresh produce and street food.
Tip: Bargain for the best prices and try some local delicacies.
Savor a delicious Vietnamese meal at a local restaurant. Try classic dishes like pho, banh mi, and fresh spring rolls. Don’t forget to pair your meal with a refreshing glass of iced tea.
Tip: Ask locals for recommendations on the best places to eat.
Explore the Reunification Palace, a historic site where the Vietnam War ended in 1975. The palace’s grand architecture and preserved rooms offer a fascinating glimpse into the country’s history.
Tip: Take a guided tour to learn more about the palace’s significance.
End your day with a relaxing stroll through Tao Dan Park, a beautiful green space in the heart of the city. Enjoy the lush gardens, fountains, and peaceful atmosphere.
Tip: Bring a book or a picnic to enjoy some quiet time in the park.
