Ho Chi Minh City is an intoxicating blend of energy, elegance, and edge. Formerly Saigon, this bustling metropolis hums with motorbikes and markets, where colonial French architecture meets neon-lit rooftops.
Begin at Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office before diving into the historic Cu Chi Tunnels or the moving War Remnants Museum. Ben Thanh Market is a feast for the senses—aromas of pho, sizzling street food, and handcrafted textiles abound. As the sun sets, rooftop bars in District 1 offer sweeping skyline views, while trendy cafés and contemporary art spaces reflect a youthful, creative pulse.
From the tree-lined boulevards of Dong Khoi to the riverfront’s cool breeze, Ho Chi Minh City captivates with a spirit that’s both proudly Vietnamese and globally curious.
