Basically, as long as time allows, you can choose to visit some or all of the below spots:
Notre Dame Cathedral
Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon can be considered one of the most attractive buildings in Ho Chi Minh City. Established in the late 19th century, its architecture and structure are imbued with Western features. It now plays roles as an important religious site, a historical relic, and a favorite tourist attraction.
Old Post Office
Some steps away from Notre Dame Cathedral lead to the Old Post Office. It was also built in the late 19th century with Western features and Oriental decorations. Apart from architecture, it attracts visitors because it is one of the significant relics that reflect the history of Ho Chi Minh City.
Independence Palace
Independence Palace is a must if you want to understand the heart of Saigon. It used to be the working place of the South Vietnam government. More importantly, it witnessed the ending point of the 20-year war, returning independence and unification to Vietnam. With a remarkable meaning, it became one of the special national heritages in Vietnam.
The War Remnants Museum
To understand more about Saigon’s past, we will drive you to the nearby War Remnants Museum. You will see many realistic remnants and valuable photos of the wars, which bring the past scenes back to life. English descriptions are available for foreign tourists.
Ben Thanh Market
Ben Thanh Market is so iconic that it is considered the unofficial symbol of Saigon. It was built in the first years of the 20th century and has been an irreplaceable part of the city. It’s a favorite market for tourists to buy souvenirs.
Shopping tips:
- You should try bargaining the offered prices down to 30-50%.
- Ask for the price first. If the price isn’t suitable for your budget, don’t hesitate to say no.
- Stay alert to pickpocketing.
Binh Tay Market
If you don’t want to visit Ben Thanh Market, Binh Tay Market is a perfect alternative for your Saigon day trip by private car. It’s more of a Vietnamese style than Ben Thanh Market and has a good stock of souvenirs.
Thien Hau Temple
Thien Hau Temple is a beautiful Chinese-styled construction set up by the Hoa people, who are Vietnamese with Chinese-related ancestry. Their ancestors safely immigrated to Vietnam for a living under the lead of Thien Hau, so they established this temple to worship her.
