A Brief Introduction to Ho Chi Minh City

The beating heart of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is awash with rich cultural heritage, scrumptious street food, and trendy shopping districts. 

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

Explore the historical side of the city by going to Ho Chi Minh City’s Reunification Palace (Independence Palace) - a 1960s landmark from the Vietnam War. Nearby, you will find bustling Ben Thanh Market, which is brimming with fresh produce and coffee traders. Dine at the market’s street food stalls and indulge in local favourites 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.
