A brief introduction to Ho Chi Minh City

An energetic metropolis, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) boasts a rich cultural diversity, storied history, delicious street food, and exciting marketplaces.

Begin your trip by visiting the landmarks in the city centre to get a comprehensive experience of Ho Chi Minh City’s colonial history. Some of the most popular attractions include Reunification Palace, Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Head Office, and the Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon.

Near Reunification Palace is the bustling Ben Thanh Market, where fresh produce, coffee, clothing, and authentic souvenirs can be found in abundance. Dine at the market’s street food stalls and feast on popular local dishes, such as ‘pho’ (noodle soup), ‘goi cuon’ (spring rolls), and ‘xoi’ (savoury sticky rice). Be sure to pair your food with a glass of strong yet sweet Vietnamese coffee.

We also recommend exploring the many temples that adorn Ho Chi Minh City, including the exquisite 250-year-old Giac Lam Pagoda, Thien Hau Temple, and the Quan Âm and Phuoc An Hoi Quan Pagodas.
