-
The Independence Palace - Our day starts with a visit to the Reunification Palace, a landmark etched in the memories of many generations of both Vietnamese and foreigners. It stands as a significant historical witness to the fierce wars against the French and American colonists.
-
Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral - Next, we visit the Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office, two beautiful structures from the French Colonial era, which are among the top attractions in Ho Chi Minh City. Unfortunately, the Notre Dame Cathedral is currently under restoration, so we will only view it from the outside.
-
Central Post Office - The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is a beautifully preserved relic of French colonial times and is perhaps the grandest post office in all of Southeast Asia.
-
War Remnants Museum - The War Remnants Museum has been the most visited museum in Ho Chi Minh City for years. With exhibitions and displays focusing on the Vietnam War, one of the most politically influential wars in modern history, it attracts many visitors, especially from Western countries, who come to learn about how Vietnam achieved a decisive victory over the US and the aftermath of the war. We will then have lunch at a local restaurant. Please inform us at the time of booking if you have any special dietary preferences (allergies or vegetarian).
-
Chinatown (Cho Lon) - District 5 - After lunch, we continue our city tour by exploring the city’s Western side. We will visit Cho Lon (Big Market) and Thien Hau Pagoda located in Chinatown.
-
Ba Thien Hau Temple - Built in the early 19th century, Thien Hau Pagoda is the most renowned sacred site in the bustling city of Saigon, Vietnam. This 200-year-old temple is also a tranquil place where people pray for blessings for their families and loved ones.
-
Bach Dang - We then proceed to Bach Dang harbor. After checking in for the waterbus tickets and settling into your seat, the boat will depart. During the trip, you will have a unique view of the city’s most iconic commercial buildings, including the Vinhomes Central Park urban area, the magnificent Landmark 81 tower, the Bitexco Financial Tower, and the serene District 2. Many stunning moments await you. Try to discover the essence of this land - the Saigon River - by water bus, and you may uncover many wonders and gain a more accurate perspective of the land once known as the Paris of Indochina or the Pearl of the Far East.
