Colonial architecture by Gustave Eiffel

#VisitHoChiMinh

Saigon Central Post Office was built in the late 19th century, when Vietnam was a French colony. The architect who designed it was Gustave Eiffel, the same person who designed the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The highlight of this place is the harmonious combination of a French neoclassical building with Vietnamese interior decorations, making it a must-visit photo and check-in spot for tourists. Inside the building, postcards, stamps, and various souvenirs related to postal service are also available, and you can also write postcards and send them home. The two wings of the building are a real melting pot for shopaholics, as they are lined up with shops selling everything from knickknacks, handicrafts, souvenirs, to tours. What we really liked were the beautifully embroidered bags, which come in many styles and sizes and are inexpensive. You can buy several of them as souvenirs. If you come to Ho Chi Minh City, you should definitely stop by here.
