Description
A visit to Ho Chi Minh City is an encounter with exotic food, French colonial architecture and memories of war.
Top things to do
- Visit the War Remnants Museum to learn about the Vietnam War and see guns, equipment, and vehicles from the era;
- Lose yourself at Ben Thanh Market marveling local handicrafts, textiles, and ao dai. It’s a pulsating place, always busy; you’ll feel its magic for sure!;
- Eat Pho – Vietnamese Noodles – and drink Vietnamese coffee at any one of the many pop-up cafes. It’s cheap and you just have to point to what you want;
- Take a cruise in the Mekong Delta for the timeless scenery of farmers planting rice in their paddies or to see its floating markets and lush green scenery;
- Tour Saigon on the back of a motorbike – it’s a great way to see the city and feel like a local;
- Get in touch Traditional Vietnamese Medicine or Thuoc Nam, influenced heavily by China. Hopefully you won’t need it, but it’s really interesting to know!;
- Crawl through the Cu Chi tunnels to get a sense of how the Viet Cong used to hide out during the war. Also, fire an AK-47 nearby!;
- Get inspired by the French: learn to cook French-influenced Vietnamese food or take in an opera at the Saigon opera house;
- Play like a kid in Vietnamese style waterpark. Let’s face it – we all love them! And Ho Chi Minh has one of the best;
- Drink snake and scorpion wine – it’s believed to improve health and virility. Don’t worry, the venom is canceled out by the alcohol. Mot, hai, ba, do! (one, two, three, cheers!)
