What to expect

  1. Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon
    20m · Admission ticket included
    This beautiful basilica, designed in the 1870s by French architect J. Bourard, features distinctive neo-Romanesque architecture with materials imported from France. Also known as “Saigon Church” or “Virgin Mary Church,” it’s a popular spot for local couples to take pre-wedding photos.
  2. Saigon Central Post Office
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Its architecture is sure to impress at first sight. Built in 1891, the building was designed by Alfred Foulhoux—not Gustave Eiffel, the creator of the famous Eiffel Tower, as often mistakenly believed.
  3. War Remnants Museum
    1h · Admission ticket included
    The War Remnants Museum showcases powerful exhibits and photographs documenting the Vietnam War and its lasting impact. It offers visitors a deeper understanding of the country’s history, resilience, and the human cost of war.
  4. Reunification Palace. Hcmc. Vietnam
    1h · Admission ticket included
    The Reunification Palace (formerly Independence Palace) is a historic symbol of Saigon. Once the residence and workplace of the South Vietnamese President, it marks the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Today, it stands as an architectural and cultural landmark where visitors can explore its preserved meeting rooms, command bunker, and grand halls.
  5. Emperor Jade Pagoda
    30m · Admission ticket included
    The Jade Emperor Pagoda (Chùa Ngọc Hoàng) is one of the most famous and sacred temples in Ho Chi Minh City. Built in the early 20th century by the Chinese community, it’s dedicated to the Jade Emperor—the King of Heaven in Taoist belief. The pagoda features intricate wood carvings, statues of deities, and a tranquil atmosphere, attracting both worshippers and visitors seeking peace and good fortune.
  6. Ben Thanh Market
    40m · Admission ticket included
    Ben Thanh Market is one of Saigon’s most iconic landmarks and a must-visit destination. Built in the early 20th century, the market is famous for its lively atmosphere and wide variety of goods—from local handicrafts, clothes, and souvenirs to delicious Vietnamese street food. It’s the perfect place to experience the city’s vibrant daily life and pick up a taste of local culture.
