You will see the museum on your right after approximately 20 minutes of walking. The address is Phường 6, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City.

Get off at the 'Nguyen Thi Minh Khai' bus stop and walk about 5 minutes to the museum. The museum will be on your right.

  For a more local experience, consider hiring a cyclo (a three-wheeled bicycle taxi). You can find them at various locations throughout Binh Thanh District. Negotiate the fare before starting your journey; it should cost between 30,000 - 50,000 VND depending on your starting point and how far you are from the museum. The ride typically takes around 15-20 minutes. Just tell the driver 'Bảo tàng Chứng tích Chiến tranh' (War Remnants Museum) and enjoy the sights along the way.
