What to expect

1

Nguyen Hue Street

A special square for youngsters to hang out. Packed with thousands of coffee shops and tea houses on both sides. In Vietnam, siblings normally share rooms so they prefer going to these places for some privacy.

2
Ben Thanh Market

Ben Thanh Market, literally means 'market by the wharf citadel', dated back to the 17th century. It was formally built in 1914. You can find anything in here!

3

Bitexco Financial Tower

The second highest skyscraper in Saigon. Covered by 6000 individual sheets of glasses gives it an impressive look from afar.

4
The Independence Palace

Built in 1963 as the home and office of South Vietnam president. In 1975 it witnessed the end of Vietnam war when North Vietnam struck its main gates (you can still see the tanks nowadays).

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
