Ho Chi Minh City

A vibrant celebration of Asian modernity, Ho Chi Minh City also known as Saigon, is Vietnam’s largest and most dynamic metropolis.

Situated in the Mekong Delta near the Cambodian border, Ho Chi Minh City has played a central role in Vietnam’s history. Between 1954 and 1976, Saigon served as the capital of South Vietnam during the Vietnam American War. While it is no longer the nation’s capital, the city has evolved into Vietnam’s most modern, populous, and economically advanced urban centre. To this day, many locals and visitors still affectionately refer to it as Saigon.

Ho Chi Minh City captivates travellers with its lively atmosphere, rich cultural contrasts, and exceptional range of experiences. Beneath the fast-paced daily rhythm lies a distinctive charm that fascinates every visitor. From historic landmarks and world-class museums to bustling markets, vibrant nightlife, stylish cafés, and diverse fine-dining restaurants, the city offers something for everyone.

Although shaped by a complex wartime past, Ho Chi Minh City today is defined by resilience and progress. Visitors can explore this history through museums and significant sites across the city, including the War Remnants Museum, which offers powerful insight into the Vietnam War and its lasting impact. Another essential stop is the Reunification Palace, the former presidential residence and a lasting symbol of Vietnam’s reunification.
