A brief introduction to Ho Chi Minh City

Full of wonder and excitement, Ho Chi Minh City - formerly known as Saigon - is home to rich culture, a storied history, mouth-watering street food, and bustling marketplaces.

We recommend starting your trip with a visit to the colonial historical landmarks in the city center. Some of the most popular attractions here include Reunification Palace, Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Head Office, and the Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon.

Nearby Reunification Palace, you will find Ben Thanh Market, where fresh produce, coffee, clothing, and an assortment of souvenirs and trinkets can be found. Be sure to dine at the street food stalls located in the market and enjoy local dishes such as ‘pho’ (noodle soup), ‘goi cuon’ (spring rolls), and ‘xoi’ (savoury sticky rice). Pair your food with a glass of strong yet sweet Vietnamese coffee.

Ho Chi Minh City is also awash with many gorgeous temples, including the exquisite 250-year-old Giac Lam Pagoda, Thien Hau Temple, and the Quan Âm and Phuoc An Hoi Quan Pagodas.
