A brief introduction to Ho Chi Minh City

Known historically as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is a vivacious metropolis brimming with rich cultural heritage, appetizing street food, and high-end shopping districts.

We recommend starting your trip by visiting the city’s many historical landmarks, which include the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee and the Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon - a religious flagship that dates back to the French colonial period in Vietnam. Be sure to also visit the assortment of temples dotted across the city, such as the incredible 250-year-old Giac Lam Pagoda, Thien Hau Temple, and Quan Âm and Phuoc An Hoi Quan Pagodas.

Learn about Vietnam’s history by visiting Ho Chi Minh City’s Reunification Palace (Independence Palace) - a 1960’s landmark building from the Vietnam War. Nearby is the lively Ben Thanh Market, where fresh produce, coffee traders, and night markets can be found. Dine at the market’s street food stalls and sample local delicacies like ‘pho’ (noodle soup), ‘goi cuon’ (spring rolls), and ‘xoi’ (savory sticky rice). Be sure to pair your meal with a glass of strong, yet sweet, Vietnamese coffee.
