Ho Chi Minh City has become a shining light of Vietnam’s incredible economic boom, the city is rapidly emerging as one of the great hubs of Asia. However it is still a very affordable city and still has a lot of it’s old world charm, so you get the best of both worlds. ⭐️ Airport - Like most airports in Vietnam there is no direct rail or metro connection to the city - the options are bus, coach or car. I advise booking airport transfers ahead of time with trip to guarantee someone is waiting for you. If you arrive without a booking it can be hard to find an honest driver to get you to the city. So be safe and book ahead! ⭐️ Hotels - A lot of western hotels have opened new luxury hotels as the city has boomed, and the prices for rooms is starting to increase. However you can still get affordable stays if you are willing to stay a little further out of downtown. I found nice bed and breakfast offerings around Ben Thanh - and also a lot of homestays and rentals if that is something you would consider. The rooms are small and convenient and within walking distance of most sites. ⭐️ Transport - Ho Chi Minh has only just opened its metro network and it still has one line, it covers some of the sights but not all. There are a lot of areas you can walk to from the metro,but for some sites you will need a taxi - so use the grab app to make sure you are safe. A lot of the older parts of the city still has plenty of tuk tuks and mopeds, cash in hand for the drivers and you get a good view of the city! ⭐️ Food - Like Hanoi the majority of the food here is locally sourced and there is a limited spread of western restaurants. I mainly ate at markets and street vendors as it’s great to see them cooking your order fresh in front of you. I was also amazed at the range of coffee shops here in the city, some of them are attractions in themselves. Check Instagram for the latest viral spot! Also conveniences stores like Circle K are great for air conditioning, water and snacks in the day! ⭐️ Attractions - The city has a lot of history and there are some really fascinating museums here about the war, and the reunification of vietnam. They can be quite busy and often have one or two small windows to get tickets that get very busy, so buy ahead online! The prices are usually the same but it saves you a lot of time! :) Overall a great city that is great to explore, it just takes some planning due to the lack of transport compared to other cities of this size! #cheaptravel #cheap #budget #asia #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary #citydaytours #vietnam #hochiminh

#VietnamTravel Ho Chi Minh Square (Ho Chi Minh Square) It is a place for tourists and Vietnamese to relax and walk. It is also home to the statue of former President Ho Chi Minh, which stands out prominently and is another important symbol of Ho Chi Minh City. Opposite Ho Chi Minh City Hall is a large square that Vietnamese people call Ho Chi Minh Square. Is the atmosphere beautiful at night? The atmosphere of the city hall at night with the statue of Uncle Ho. If you follow the old reviews, it would be Uncle Ho sitting and holding a child, right? Now it will be Uncle Ho standing and waving. The darker the atmosphere, the more people will come. The atmosphere before 7 pm. Let's take a look at the atmosphere after 7 pm to see how it is different.

Vietnam is another country that is very close to Thailand. It takes about 2 hours to travel. Ho Chi Minh City, a city that is the center of economy, culture and tourism, is another city that should not be missed. The city is full of cars. It is another charm of this city. Including many coffee shops. Because this place grows a lot of coffee and cocoa, there are many shops as well. It is also a city of lights at night. Sit and listen to music comfortably with many street shops. For those who do not have a lot of budget and want to go out of the country, Vietnam is another good choice. #VietnamTravel

Very chill vibes this month—no joke! The rain comes and goes, keeping the city cool and making every stroll super refreshing. Honestly, exploring the city centre like this is a whole mood. After a long day of meetings, just wandering around here takes the stress way down—it’s legit a breath of fresh air. This historic building I found is absolutely beautiful, and it’s literally the perfect spot to people-watch or just vibe with the locals who are all about those slow, relaxed walks. If you’re feeling curious, don’t miss the market nearby (usually open from 9am to 6pm)—it’s clutch for scoring sick bargains and mixing with locals. Even on rainy days, the whole city gets this cozy, laid-back feel. Highly recommend grabbing a coffee and strolling around; it’s sooo good! For maximum chill, hit up the city centre (main square, local landmarks all within walking distance) and check out the historic architecture. Every corner is packed with cool history and good vibes. If you want a dose of real local life, mingle with people at the market and let that drizzle cool you off as you go. Address tip: The heart of city centre is super easy to find—just search “historic building” or “main square” on trip.com for must-see spots and nearby food stalls! Opening hours for the market: 9am–6pm daily (closed Sundays). Rain or shine, this place is straight-up awesome for breathing space, chill walks, and discovering the city’s best bargains.
