Things to Do in Saigon

During your time off there are plenty of things to in Saigon and nearby to keep yourselves entertained.


Enjoy the delicious food!

Saigon is definitely a foodies paradise so try as much of the local cuisine as you can.

Some dishes we recommend include Banh Xeo. Phở, Bánh canh, Bánh mì, Bún thịt nướng, Hủ tiếu Nam Vang and of course...Cà phê sữa đá, the best coffee in the world


Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels

It's a historic underground network used during the Vietnam War. Visitors can crawl through tunnels, see hidden trapdoors, and learn about guerrilla warfare.

Just under 2 hours from Saigon and well worth a visit!


Shop and bargain at Saigon Sqaure!

Most people go to Ben Thanh market, but Saigon Square has better quality and the vendors are less intense. You can buy clothes and accessories from all the top brands at a much cheaper price. Just pay attention to he material quality and have fun bargaining!


Visit the War Remnants Museum

A must-visit for history enthusiasts, showcasing exhibits on the Vietnam War. Features military vehicles, photographs, and powerful displays on the effects of war.

Offers an eye-opening perspective on Vietnam’s past. Definitely recommend!


Bui Vien party street

This is the famous party street here in Vietnam. It has tonnes of late night bars and live music. Pretty crazy but definitely worth a look just to experience.


Landmark 81

This is Vietnam and the worlds 15th tallest building. You can buy a pass and get a great view of the whole city and beyond from 81 floors up!
