Vietnam, where the weather is hot and the sun shines bright. It’s changing fast, but right now it’s a great mix of old and new, traditional and modern. Ho Chi Minh City or commonly known as Saigon is the largest city of Vietnam. Don’t miss out on their culture, coffee, and the unique food scene.

Welcome to ThingsToDo Channel, today we’re going to list the 10 things to do in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

#10 Have Breakfast in Binh Tay Market.

Binh Tay Market is located in the Cholon district of Ho Chi Minh City and you will find a large clock tower here as well as a central courtyard. The market was built in the 1880s during the colonial period and you can go for a walk and try out the food stalls here. You can stop by for their authentic noodles or a cup of coffee.

#9 Tour the Ho Chi Minh City Museum.

This is widely said to be the grandest building in the city and this is the place to come to learn all about the culture and history of Ho Chi Minh City. Just some of the collections on show include ceramics, ancient maps of the city, and marriage costumes that belong to the various ethnic groups in Vietnam. As you would expect, there are also galleries dedicated to the history of the Vietnam War.

#8 Grab a Banh Mi.

Banh mi is probably the most famous of all of Vietnam’s foodstuffs as well as being one of the best-loved sandwiches in the world. Banh mi is made from crusty baguette which is then slicked with pate and then topped with chilies and coriander. There are many holes in the wall joints that is nothing fancy and there are no tables and chairs, but you will recognize it before you see it thanks to the long line of patrons queuing up for one of the best sandwiches.

#7 Crawl through the Cu Chi Tunnels.

The main draw in Ho Chi Minh City is the Cu Chi Tunnels which would have been used by the Vietcong guerillas at the time of the Tet Offensive in 1968. The tunnels are made up of a series of underground chambers that stretch for 30 kilometers out of the city and you can now visit sections of the tunnels and crawl through the small spaces to experience the conditions of the Vietcong during the Vietnam War.

#6 Visit Notre Dame Cathedral.

Notre Dame Cathedral was built between 1877 and 1883 and sits in the heart of the city. The cathedral is designed in the neo-Romanesque style and you can check out the towers here which soar to a height of 40 meters and are topped with impressive iron spires. The cathedral got its name from the Virgin Mary and the inside is covered in devotional tablets and pretty stained glass windows.

#5 Grab a coffee at Dan Tao Park.

Vietnam is known for its delicious coffee so it stands to reason that it has a strong cafe culture. The signature brew here is known as ca phe sua da which is an iced coffee made of a dark roast which is mixed with condensed milk and served over ice. One of the best places to try this is at Tan Tao Park and if you get there in the morning you can go for a walk and pick up a cup from a street stall.

#4 Have a drink in Pham Ngu Lao Street.

If you are looking for some nightlife in Ho Chi Minh City then you need to head for Pham Ngu Lao Street. This is the central bar and cafe hub of the city and you will find a huge range of watering holes here if you fancy a cold drink at the end of a long day’s sightseeing.

#3 Take a Bonsai River Cruise.

If you want to take in the city from the vantage point of the water, then head for a Bonsai River Cruise. Here you will get the chance to join a boat ride that includes dinner and takes you back to the days of elegant cruise dining. The boat is actually a traditional dragon boat that dates from the 19th century and they serve a buffet dinner complete with live music.

#2 Tour the War Remnants Museum.

The War Remnants Museum is one of the most moving sights in Ho Chi Minh City and is dedicated to educating visitors about the atrocities of the Vietnam War. This is one of the most popular museums in all of Vietnam and more than half a million visitors come here every year. Inside you will also find personal memorabilia of victims of the war as well as old photographs.

#1 Try a bowl of pho.

You can’t come to Ho Chi Minh City and not try pho which is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup. The soup is made with stock to which the noodles are then added and you can choose from a variety of toppings to customize the dish. If you want to try some of the best pho in the city then your best bet is to stop at one the many street food stalls that abound here. If you are not sure where to start however, then you can try popular chains such as Pho 24 and Pho 2000.
