Vietnam: Here's your guide to sightseeing in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam!

🇻🇳【Vietnam Strategy】An essential guide for traveling in Ho Chi Minh (summary of sightseeing, gourmet food, and things to be aware of)

📍Ben Thanh Market
Located in the center of Ho Chi Minh, this huge market is full of local atmosphere. You can find everything from clothes to spices and ingredients, and price negotiation is also a great part of the trip. You can experience the lively atmosphere of Southeast Asia.

📍Reunification Palace
A symbolic place where the Vietnam War ended. You can also tour the inside, and the presidential office and communication room at the time have been left as they were, so it is recommended for history lovers.

📍Saigon Central Post Office & Church of Our Lady
An area where you can feel the architectural beauty of the French colonial era. The retro post office is still in operation, and postcards and stamps for tourists are also popular.

📍Gourmet spot: Pho 2000・Ngon Restaurant
Of course, you can't miss the Vietnamese specialties Banh Xeo (Vietnamese-style okonomiyaki) and Chae (Vietnamese sweets). It's reassuring to choose a clean local restaurant.

✅Things to note when using Tan Son Nhat Airport
The biggest pitfall is the time it takes to go through immigration. During peak times, it usually takes more than an hour to enter the country. The same goes for departures.

We strongly recommend arriving at the airport 3 hours before departure, especially before your return flight.

The airport facilities are a bit old and the lounges tend to be crowded.

⸻

✅ Local SIMs and eSIMs are cheap and fast in Vietnam, so we recommend setting up your communication environment after arriving at the airport.

Also, using Grab (a ride-hailing app) makes traveling around the city comfortable and safe. Registering your credit card in advance rather than paying in cash will help avoid trouble.
