Built between 1863 and 1880 by the French, the Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral is an architectural wonder in Ho Chi Minh. With its giant twin towers, it is sitting in between traffic in the city’s bustling District 1. It is beautiful on the outside and inside, and if you wish to attend, mass is held on Sundays at 9:30 a.m., in Vietnamese and English.

Next on your itinerary should be the Saigon Central Post Office, as it is right next to the cathedral. It is the largest one in Vietnam and its late-1800’s architecture is worth seeing first-hand.

The last but not least, well known as Reunification Palace, everything is as it was when it was home to the South Vietnam presidents before the fall of Saigon back in 1975.

The second floor is open for visitors throughout the year. If you want to attend and pray with numerous people, visit on the 15th of the month or during the Lunar New Year.

An Dong Market is a fashion and craft market, or Bin Tay Market, to find an array of textiles, handicrafts and exotic fruits in Vietnam’s biggest Chinatown. Ho Chi Minh is also well known for its many fashion boutiques, like along Dong Khoi Street. In case, you are looking for a good tailor, look in District 5 or ask the locals where you can find a quality craftsman.

Apart from Vietnamese food, you can also find a variety of other good and affordable choices, like Japanese, Korean, Chinese and French. Moreover, we highly recommend taking a cooking class at the Vietnam Cookery Center or going on a Vespa Tour - Saigon After Dark. As for the must-try Vietnamese foods, pho, banh mi, op la and bun rieu and bun bo hue are enjoyed by both locals and first-time tourists.
