  2. Ben Thanh Market
    30m
    Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 is a great place to buy local handicrafts, branded goods, Vietnamese art and other souvenirs. Here, you’ll find eating stalls inside the market where you can get a taste of hawker-style Vietnamese cuisine or simply cool off with a cold drink when the bargaining becomes too much. The market is big, difficult to navigate at times and certainly best avoided during the hottest part of the day but all the same its well worth a look. When night falls, restaurants around the perimeter of the market open their doors creating a vibrant street side scene filling the air with the scents of wok-fried noodles, barbecued fish and meats. One of Saigon’s oldest landmarks, Ben Thanh offers a great atmosphere that is absolutely authentically Vietnamese.
  3. Ho Chi Minh City
    Pass by
    If we have more time (depending on cruise ship schedule), we could arrange you to visit more famous places in Ho Chi Minh City: Notre Dame Cathedral, The Central Post Office, Independence Palace, The People’s Committee Building Saigon .etc.
