Ho Chi Minh City, still widely known as Saigon, is Vietnam’s largest and most energetic metropolis. Located along the Saigon River in the south, it’s home to over 10 million people and a nonstop pulse of traffic, trade, and culture.
The city blends colonial charm, modern skyline, and deep history. Must-see landmarks include the War Remnants Museum, Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office, Ben Thanh Market, and the soaring Bitexco Financial Tower. Each offers a glimpse into the city’s complex past and rapid evolution.
At night, Saigon comes alive. Its booming nightlife ranges from rooftop bars to back-alley food stalls. One of the best ways to explore the evening scene is on a Vespa or scooter tour—zipping through narrow alleys, tasting street food, and experiencing the city like a local.
