Ho Chi Minh City
Vietnam's biggest and busiest city: French-era landmarks, street food on every corner and energy that never drops.
Why visit Ho Chi Minh City
Still called Saigon by most people who live there, Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam at full speed. Rivers of motorbikes flow past French-colonial buildings and glass towers, and there is something good to eat on almost every corner, from a pavement bowl of noodles to a rooftop dinner.
The city also holds much of the country's modern history. Visit the Independence Palace and the War Remnants Museum, then head out of town to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Evenings are for markets, coffee shops and exploring the food streets with someone who knows them.
