A Brief introduction to Ho Chi Minh City

A stunning combination of French colonial architecture and soaring skyscrapers, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) offers plenty of unforgettable memories for all types of travelers.

Nestled in the heart of the city, the Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon is among the most renowned landmarks as it was built by the French more than a century ago. To explore more of Vietnam’s history, we recommend visiting the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, which now functions as a grand city hall, and the War Remnants Museum, which has exhibits and installations about the First Indochina and Vietnam wars.

To experience Ho Chi Minh City’s glitz and glamour, head to the trendy cafes and residences at Diamond Island or shop at trendy boutiques in malls like Diamond Plaza. Be sure to also sample the appetizing street food from Ben Thanh Market, which includes local favorites like ‘pho’ (noodle soup) pork rolls.
