Emperor Jade Pagoda - Located in District 1, this is one of the oldest pagodas in Saigon, about a ten-minute drive from the city center.
-
The Independence Palace - The palace is like a time capsule from 1975. You can see two of the original tanks used in the capture of the palace parked on the grounds. Independence Palace was the residence and workplace of the French Governor of Cochin-China. It features lush gardens, secret rooms, antique furniture, and a command bunker. It is still used for important events in Ho Chi Minh, including APEC summits.
-
Ben Thanh Market - Situated in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1, Ben Thanh Market is an excellent place to buy local handicrafts, branded goods, Vietnamese art, and other souvenirs. Inside the market, you’ll find food stalls where you can enjoy hawker-style Vietnamese cuisine or cool off with a cold drink when the bargaining gets intense. The market is large and can be difficult to navigate at times, and it’s best avoided during the hottest part of the day, but it’s definitely worth a visit.
-
People’s Committee Building - A must-see in Saigon: Originally built as a hotel in 1898 by French architect Gardes, it now serves as a city hall and is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
