If Great market and ancient buildings have been so familiar, Nguyen Hue walking street or traveling by boat on Nhieu Loc canal will be interesting experiences in Saigon.

Nguyen Hue walking street

You can feel how young the city is when you walk down the street. In the morning, you should visit the condominium at 42 Nguyen Hue, choose a corner of café such as Sai Gon Oi or Boo to see the whole scene of the walking street. In the evening, be one of the crowd and enjoy some improvisational performances of the young.

Traveling by boat on Nhieu Loc canal


With this tour, you may feel Saigon so peaceful and ancient from the sound of harmonica. The boat departs from Le Van Sy harbor (Dist.3) or Thi Nghe harbor (Dist.1). The price for one person is from 110,000 VND.
Visiting old buildings

In an enthusiastic city like Saigon, there are ancient constructions with European style such as Notre Dame Cathedral Basilic Saigon, Post Office, Opera house, Ben Thanh market…

Contemplating Saigon from Dist.2

The ideal spot to see the whole scene of district 1 is Ham Thu Thiem Park. This is the place that the young often hang out at weekend.

Exploring Great market

Cu Chi Tunnel


Far from Ho Chi Minh City about 70 km, Cu Chi is the ideal destination for anyone who wants to know more about history. From Ben Thanh market, you take bus number 13, 79 then 122 to Cu Chi.

First visit to the sights of Ho Chi Minh City... Bitexo Fin has the fastest elevator in the world (approximately 7 meters per second).
 
To avoid experiencing price scams during your trip, you should contact your local travel agent for help. I was fortunate to find AN Tours Vietnam on Tripadvisor and was accompanied by them for 3 days in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Experience the local food tour by motorbike, into the small alleys where there are no tourists. Delicious food, reasonable price. Hope you will have such a good experience too
