Our guide will take you around Ba Dinh Square to see the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum from the outside and learn about the life and legacy of “Uncle Ho”. You will also see the surrounding government buildings and gardens, with time to take photos at this important historical and political site. The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is closed on Mondays, Fridays and in the afternoon, and may also be closed unexpectedly for annual maintenance or official events. On these days, we will still visit the Ho Chi Minh Complex from the outside for photos and replace the inside visit with a similar attraction in Hanoi.
