What to expect

  1. The Independence Palace
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Step inside one of Saigon’s most iconic landmarks, once the residence and workplace of the President of South Vietnam. Explore its grand halls, vintage war rooms, and rooftop helipad as your guide shares stories of the Fall of Saigon and the historical events that shaped modern Vietnam.
  2. Saigon Central Post Office
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Marvel at the beautiful colonial-era architecture of the Central Post Office, designed by Gustave Eiffel, and see its mosaic floors and old phone booths.

  3. Tan Dinh Church
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Discover Tan Dinh Church, famous for its striking pink façade and gothic architecture. Built in the late 19th century, it’s one of the oldest and most photographed churches in Ho Chi Minh City, offering a unique splash of color and history in the bustling urban landscape.
  4. Ho Chi Minh City Museum
    1h · Admission ticket included
