SAIGON, or HO CHI MINH CITY, is a great place to start a trip to Vietnam.

There are so many fascinating places to visit , many of which are free, from:

• the beautiful French Colonial style Town Hall and the Saigon Post Office
• Nguyen Hue Walking Street, which is the bustling heart of the city ar night but completely deserted during the day
• the stunning historic Ben Thanh Market
• the cleverly designed Cafe Apartments
• the glimpse into the tragic events of the American War, also called the Vietnam War, in the displays at the War Remnants Museum
• Capture a moment frozen in time at the Independence Palace

and so much more!

Vietnam is a fascinating country and we look forward to sharing the people, places and delicious food with you in our Vietnam series, with new videos every Friday.

Wow that market was crazy with haggling, definitely not my type of market but I thank you both for sharing so I don’t have to deal with it when I come to Vietnam 🙏

Now the beautiful French Architecture absolutely interests me ❤ just beautiful and the street walking was lovely 🙏

Such a lovely wander around... thank you 😊. In my opinion travelling really makes one change one's perspective on so many things, sooner or later... Slightly grating, the luxury malls and the reverence for Ho Chi Minh (and the statue was gold colored, too, at that 😉) If you go to Hue when you are in Vietnam next time, you can visit the Chua Thien Mu pagoda and monastery where the monk who immolated himself set out from. Very impressive place, beautiful and free of charge. You can even take part in prayer time with the monks chanting in the afternoon ... Looking forward to more Vietnam videos...😊🙏

Hi Lee and Mandy, great video, brings back memories of my trip last year.

Like you, I don’t appreciate being haggled to buy something whenever I travel. 😢
I recall being surprised at how much of the architecture in Saigon (during our visit many years ago) had French influence.
Yes, I recall quite vividly the Saigon Post Office with the huge portrait of HCM. Don’t recall being so touristy back in the day however. I purchased many beautiful Vietnamese stamps for my collection. 👍🏻
Also recall very well touring the Presidential Palace. Very interesting as an old fart like me recalls seeing on TV the fall of Saigon and the capture of this building in particular. Thanks Lee for refreshing my memory. I recall the War room and the underground bunkers. Worth a visit.
Great point Mandy with a gold statue of HCM within sight of pure capitalism. 😂

Very very different to my 2001 visit to all the same places! Glad to see the update and looking forward to when I can afford the flight to see the changes for myself, although think I’ll miss the less crowded version I saw all those years ago! Thank you for such a comprehensive guide to district one!

Hi! How's your trip to Saigon Vietnam?

Did that water fountain water go ok in the end? 😂

Had to laugh at this - 100% what we did on our first visit in 2025. I've just come back from a 2nd trip, and this time I just walked around, ducking down interesting looking streets and visiting non tourist markets. Hopefully Notre Dame will be reopened when i next visit 😊.
