“Hi guys, welcome back to Welcome to Vietnam! I’m Phat, and today I will help you plan your visit to Saigon City, also known as Ho Chi Minh City. This vibrant city has so much to offer, and if you’re wondering which landmarks to check out, I’ve got you covered.
Let’s start with the famous Ben Thanh Market, one of Saigon’s oldest markets, where you can shop for local goods, and souvenirs, and try traditional Vietnamese street food. It’s a great way to experience the hustle and bustle of daily life in Saigon.
Next, you can visit the Independence Palace, a key historical site where the Vietnam War ended. It’s beautifully preserved and offers a glimpse into the country’s past.
For history lovers, the War Remnants Museum is a must-visit. It provides a deeper understanding of the Vietnam War and its impact on the people and the country.
For an adventurous experience, head to the Cu Chi Tunnels just outside the city. These underground tunnels played a crucial role during the war, and you can even crawl through some sections yourself.
Don’t miss the Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica and the Central Post Office, two iconic French colonial landmarks in the heart of Saigon.
Finally, you have to check out Landmark 81 in Binh Thanh District, the tallest building in Vietnam. You’ll get a stunning panoramic view of the city from its observation deck. You can also enjoy a coffee or a delicious meal while taking in the sights. Afterward, you can take a relaxing boat tour on the Saigon River—a perfect way to end your day, especially at sunset.
