Ho Chi Minh City (Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh), commonly known as Saigon (Sài Gòn), is the largest city in Vietnam. As the country's economic and cultural hub, it offers a dynamic mix of traditional Vietnamese charm and modern urban energy. The city's streets are always bustling with life, from the countless motorcycles weaving through traffic to the vibrant markets filled with colorful goods and delicious street food.
One of the most iconic landmarks in Ho Chi Minh City is the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon (Nhà thờ Đức Bà Sài Gòn), a stunning example of French colonial architecture built in the late 19th century. Located nearby is the Central Post Office (Bưu điện Trung tâm Sài Gòn), another remarkable structure from the same era, designed by the famous architect Gustave Eiffel.
The city's history is also deeply tied to the Vietnam War, and many visitors come to see the War Remnants Museum (Bảo tàng Chứng tích Chiến tranh). The museum offers a sobering look at the impact of the war, with exhibits that include photographs, military equipment, and personal accounts. Another significant historical site is the Reunification Palace (Dinh Độc Lập), which was the site of the end of the Vietnam War when a North Vietnamese tank crashed through its gates in 1975.
For those seeking a more modern experience, Ho Chi Minh City is home to some of the best shopping in Vietnam, with upscale malls such as Saigon Centre (Trung tâm Thương mại Sài Gòn) and Takashimaya offering a wide range of international and local brands. Meanwhile, the Ben Thanh Market (Chợ Bến Thành) is a must-visit for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the local culture. The market is a vibrant place where you can find everything from fresh produce to souvenirs.
The Saigon River (Sông Sài Gòn) adds a scenic touch to the city, and taking a boat tour along the river is a popular activity for tourists. These tours offer a unique perspective on the city’s skyline, and some even offer dinner cruises with traditional Vietnamese cuisine.
