Tour Plan
This tour begins at 8:00 or 13:30 through the historic city center. See the architecturally splendid City Hall, historic Dong Khoi Street, the Continental Hotel, and the Saigon Opera House.
Then, turn off the main road and enter a historic building transformed by the city's youth. Here, locally owned retail stores, coffee shops, and art spaces offer a glimpse into the city’s creative generation. If time allows, relax and enjoy a local coffee at one of the building’s cafes.
Return to the Central Post Office. Here, you can also glimpse the former CIA building, where one of the last helicopter evacuations took place in 1975. Explore the charming Reunification Palace, the city's most renowned landmark. Now preserved in a time warp, the ‘war rooms’ in the basement plus the opulent displays are fascinating.
Finish up the day at another historic site, the Ben Thanh Market. The central location still functions as a local neighborhood market, but it also welcomes travelers with a variety of stalls.
Having gained a greater understanding of Saigon's culture and history, return to the hotel or your next destination.
