When I was in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), along with eating as much Vietnamese food as I could, one of my goals was to film a travel video about some of the best things to do in Saigon. After putting together a complete list, it turned out to be 23, and I hope this list of attractions will help and inspire you to visit Vietnam’s largest and most exciting city.

1. Binh Tay Market - Binh Tay Market is one of the largest wholesale distribution markets, and a perfect place to go if you’re looking to go shopping in Ho Chi Minh City.
2. Thien Hau Temple (Pagoda) - Located in Chinatown, in District 5, the temple is dedicated to Thien Hau and I really loved the sculptures and the elaborate design of the temple.
3. Museum of Ho Chi Minh City - This museum offers a glimpse into the history and development of the city and Vietnam.
4. Bitexco Financial Tower - This is the tallest building in Saigon, and you can either go to the Skydeck or a cafe at the top for a view of the city.
5. Independence Palace (Reunification Palace) - Probably one of the most well known tourism things to do in Saigon is to visit the Independence Palace, the the former home of the president of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
6. Saigon Cathedral of Notre Dame - With the French influence in Vietnam, the Notre Dame cathedral is a beautiful Catholic church. Attend a service or just visit.
7. Central Post Office - Designed by Gustave Eiffel, the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is an attraction mainly for its design and architecture. It’s a beautiful building.
8. War Remnants Museum - Although this is not one of the happiest attractions in Saigon, it’s a place to remember and honor the horrible events that are a result of a war.
9. Opera House - Right in Dong Khoi area, and there are still opera shows available.
10. Dong Khoi Street - This is the height of high end shopping in Saigon.
11. Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens - The zoo itself is not too great, but the beauty of the Saigon zoo is the botanical gardens, and the lush gardens, and taking a break from the city.
12. FITO Museum (Museum of Traditional Vietnamese Medicine) - I was quite impressed by the Vietnamese medicine private museum - very interactive and educational.
13. San Art Laboratory – If you love modern art, the San Art Laboratory is a great place to see and visit in Saigon.
14. Turtle Lake at Night - If you’re looking for some things to do at night in Saigon, head to Turtle Lake to chill out, relax, hang out with friends, and eat snacks.
15. Ben Thanh Market - One of the most famous things to do in Saigon District 1 is visit the Ben Thanh Market, one of the major central landmarks of the city.
16. Phu My Hung and Starlight Bridge - Located outside of central Ho Chi Minh City, Phu My Hung is a modern development, and a great place to walk around.
17. Water Puppet Show - Though originally from the north of Vietnam, water puppet shows are popular also in Saigon. I went to the Golden Dragon Water Puppet theater.
18. Museum of Vietnamese History - Probably one of the most extensive and important museum showing the history of Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.
19. Rooftop Bar - Seeing Saigon from above offers a great perspective.
20. Fine Arts Museum - This was my favorite of all the museums in Saigon. The museum is housed in a well preserved building, and the art is amazing - located right in District 1 across the roundabout from Ben Thanh Market.
21. Jade Emperor Pagoda - Dedicated to the Jade Emperor, the pagoda has a real ancient feel to it, and it’s worth seeing when you visit.
22. Local Wet Market - One of my favorite things to do is visit a local fresh wet market, which you’ll find all over the city. The ingredients, food, and culture, all stand out at fresh markets.
23. Vietnamese Street Food - By my ultimate favorite activity in Saigon is eating street food, and there are an abundance of delicious Vietnamese street foods to sample.

Thank you for watching this video about the top 23 things to do in Saigon, Vietnam. I hope it has given you some great ideas to help you plan your visit.

8 THINGS TO DO IN SAIGON (Ho Chi Minh City) | VIETNAM VLOG #016

8 things to do in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). Vietnam Vlog #16

We recently spent the day exploring some of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and thoroughly enjoyed our time. This vlog covers everything that we saw, ate and did during our day spent exploring this mega city!

To start off with, we visited the iconic war remnants museum. It was a very interesting, must see attraction, but bear in mind, it is not for the feint-hearted!

Next we headed to the famous Ben Thanh Market for some shopping, its a great place to pick up that Vietnamese souvenir you've been after! After that we had a short walk up to the Ben Thanh Street food market. This is a great place to pick up all sorts of different foods! It is one of the top tourist attractions, so be ready to pay slightly more for food here!

After that we caught a quick Grab ride over to the Central Post Office and Notre Dame Cathedral, also a very worthwhile visit when coming to Saigon. The cathedral is currently under construction but it is still a great sight. The post office is grand and still in operation, so we recommend buying some letters at the market and posting them back home to family from here!

After that we popped in at the famous book street, this is a very trendy area and has coffee shops for you to rest your legs.

We then headed a few blocks down to the incredible city hall. this building is iconic and a must-see when in Saigon! In absolutely beautiful! Once you're done you can head down the walking street and go for dinner at one of the many restaurants in the area.

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments below and we'll get back to you. If you have no questions, still leave a comment just to say hello:)

We look forward to seeing you in the next video!

First Time in VIETNAM - Exploring Ho Chi Minh City

We landed in bustling Ho Chi Minh City for our first time in Vietnam! We had a great time exploring Ho Chi Minh City and will be traveling Vietnam for the next 28 days. Without a real plan, we visited Ho Chi Minh Square to learn some history of Ho Chi Minh City. We also played frogger with the thousands of motorbikes trying to cross the streets, haha.

Our first stop after the 2 hour travel to Vietnam from Malaysia was Ho Chi Minh Square. We got stopped by some local Vietnamese scouts who tried to help teach us a Vietnamese language phrase. We sucked really badly but they were nice and persistent. Finally, Ryan spoke Vietnamese! Ho Chi Minh Square is located in District 1 Saigon which is right in the middle of the city. District 1 Ho Chi Minh City is also the main tourist hub in HCM, Vietnam.

We aren’t sure if it’s better to call the city Saigon Vietnam or Ho Chi Minh Vietnam, so please leave us a comment down below and let us know which one is correct! While walking the streets and exploring Ho Chi Minh City, we got thirsty and decided to try Vietnamese coffee for the first time. Stacia loved the Vietnamese coffee but since it’s 2x stronger than regular coffee she couldn’t finish the whole thing.

Before finding the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh, we decided we wanted to get a feel for local life in Saigon. We quickly saw that the traffic in Ho Chi Minh City is a BIG part of daily life so we decided to test our luck crossing the busy streets. I can’t put into words how busy the streets of Saigon are, so you’ll just have to watch the video to see for yourself. It was a true frogger moment!

Being Americans in Vietnam, we are very interested in the war history of the Vietnam War. We were told there is an American War museum we need to check out which we will do off camera to spare sharing some deep emotional stuff with you guys. There are so many things to do in Saigon we can’t wait to explore the city for the month! If you have any suggestions for things to do in Vietnam, please leave a comment down below.

We have uploaded Vietnamese subtitles for any of you who would like to read in Vietnamese. We hope to hear from you guys in the comments and thanks for watching our first Vietnam travel vlog!

* We’re Ryan & Stacia from DeathbyVlog. Unlike other travel vloggers, we live and work in a different country each month with a moderate housing budget. Sorry, but no backpacker lifestyle here! Our channel will show you what it’s like to live abroad while exploring top tourist destinations and hidden gems. We will show you mouthwatering local food tours, provide history on each destination, and cinematic broll for all of you film lovers. Each month we rent an apartment or airbnb in a different city or country, so follow along on this journey and learn about countries around the world. We hope you enjoy our travel vlog, don’t forget to subscribe!

First Impressions of HO CHI MINH CITY (Saigon), VIETNAM [Ep. 1]

ALL VIETNAM VLOGS:

Please support this channel by not skipping the ads :)
Although this is my 7th visit to Vietnam, I still feel that there are many first impressions of Ho Chi Minh City that are still fascinating to me. I first started the day by eating Bun Bo Hue and continued walking to the Saigon train station. I tried buying Vietnam train tickets while also explaining the importance of the Reunification Express during the Vietnam War. I managed to also pass by the Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon while walking to the Saigon Central Post Office.
This bustling city is exciting yet overwhelming at the same time. I hope you enjoy watching while exploring this city with me :)

ABOUT ME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello there, welcome to this channel!

I am an Indonesian female solo traveler, who started solo traveling in 2013. After working for the government till 2016, I left Indonesia to pursue full-time traveling and to document myself as I explore different cultures as a solo female.

Having initially traveled for 5 months throughout Asia, I moved to China in January 2017 for an English teaching job, which was my first experience living abroad.

Since leaving China in 2018, I have taken the move to become a full-time YouTube creator and traveler. I strive to create unique, culture-driven content and capture authentic interactions as I travel.

Saigon Walk: Nguyen Hue Str., District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam [4K]

Nguyen Hue is a famous place for both local Vietnamese and tourists. This street surrounds the Ho Chi Minh Square, where all kinds of big events in Ho Chi Minh City happen. Especially on the national holidays - for example on Tet (Lunar New Years Day) - the whole sqaure is decorated in a special theme and every Vietnamese is having fun and taking pictures of them and their family. Also on regular days, it is a popular hang-out spot for the local people with their friends after sunset.

There are several places to check out on this street. The statue of Mr. Ho Chi Minh with the beautiful People's Committe building behind him is definitely the most popular photo spot in the Ho Chi Minh City. Remember, it is even prettier at night.

If you are interested in Vietnamese art, especially painting, visit the Vietnam ART Gallery. The professional sellers help you find the paintings that fit your taste and send it to your home abroad safely.

Bitexco, the tallest building in Vietnam, is the best place to enjoy the night view of Ho Chi Minh City. The Saigon Skydeck offers a 360 degrees view of the city. For those who want to have a meal or a drink to go along with this night view, restaurants / bars and cafes are available, even on floors higher than the observatory.

You will find an old 9-stories-building with a unique decoration on each balconies. There are dozens of cafes, small bistros, and clothing shops located there. It is interesting to look around how an old apartments building turned into the most trendy place in the city. Lucky Plaza is a nice place to purchase souvenirs just like Ben Thanh market - but with air-conditioning.

At the end of the street is the Saigon River and the riverside park. At the HCMC Passenger Ferry Port, you can take a boat to the nearest touristic city, Vung Tau.

If you have any questions, be sure to leave a comment. Enjoy!

THE PERFECT ONE DAY SAIGON CITY TOUR (Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam Vlog 2019)

Saigon is Vietnam's biggest city. You CAN NOT MISS this if you travel Vietnam. It's got great food, interesting buildings (a bright pink church?) and more motorcycles than there are people. Ho Chi Minh City is a great place to explore for a couple of days. Come and see the opera house, the city hall, a pink church and Kim getting lost (yes - again :D). It's got a great street food scene and everything you could hope for. Oh and it is our final stop in Vietnam!

We hope you enjoyed this Vietnam travel vlog 2019 & the city tour of Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City! We can't wait to head to Thailand and show you around this incredible country over the next few weeks :) NEXT UP: Flying to Chiang Mai and our first impressions of Thailand!

About Ho Chi Minh City :
Also known by its former name of Saigon (Vietnamese: Sài Gòn), this is the most populous city in Vietnam. Located in southeast Vietnam, the metropolis surrounds the Saigon River. From 1955 to 1975, Saigon was the capital of the Republic of Vietnam, commonly known as South Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City is the most visited city in Vietnam, with 6.3 million visitors in 2017. Many of the city's landmarks which are well known to international visitors include the Bến Thành Market, Ho Chi Minh City Hall, Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, Independence Palace and it’s a popular destination to have the day trip to Cu Chi tunnel and Mekong delta.

Hi, We are Jimmy and Tah,

American and Thai Millennials left the career in military and finance to become travel story tellers, proving the world that you don't have to be rich to travel well. Met in August, 2015 in South Korea, kicked off traveling in September, 2017 with $4000 in saving account and first started publishing our journey on the way we live the life we have always dreamt of - traveling and being able to work wherever we love ( as long as there is Wi-Fi and coffee)

☼ Currently homeless, live the life out of luggage, travel non-stop, and grow love along the way.
☼ We are deeply into traveling, doing what locals do, managing the budget to travel non-stop, challenging ourselves daily.
☼ Everything we show you here is to not only show you how our world is such an interesting place to explore, but also inspire you to live the life you love especially when you dream of traveling.

Still want to know more about each of us ? :

Thank you for joining us along this crazy journey
