War Remnants Museum
must-see40000 VND≈ 1.5 $The Vietnam War told by those who lived through it. Hard, documented, essential to understanding the country.
Hours7.30am – 5.30pm, every day
Under two euros, and two hours of visit. The 'Saigon in a day' tours charge thirty times as much for it, with transport.
entry, all visitors · Checked on 28 August 2026 at Forever Vacation — War Remnants Museum.
View detailsReunification Palace
must-see40000 VND≈ 1.5 $The South Vietnamese presidential palace, frozen at 30 April 1975, when a tank drove through its gates.
Hours8am – 4.30pm, every day

View detailsNotre-Dame Cathedral of Saigon
FreeTwo red brick spires shipped from Toulouse, planted in the middle of the colonial quarter.

View detailsBen Thanh Market
FreeThe belly of Saigon: spices, fakes, soup eaten standing, and a night market that takes over.
Hours6am – 6pm, then a night market from 6pm to 11pm
Prices quoted here are three to four times the real one. Divide by three and walk away: you will be called back.
free entry · Checked on 28 August 2026 at Vietnam Discovery — Ben Thanh Market.
View detailsCu Chi Tunnels
Price unconfirmedThe underground network of the Vietnam War, partly walkable. Claustrophobia: stay out, the tunnels are tight.
Ask for Ben Duoc rather than Ben Dinh: same network, slightly further out, a quarter of the visitors. Agencies sell the second by default because it is closer. The shooting range on site is charged per round and is no part of the visit.
paid entry. The published rates contradict one another — from 85,000 to 135,000 ₫ for a foreign visitor across 2026 reports — and the memorial's official site is unreachable. To be checked at the gate.
View detailsStreet food tour by motorbike
Price unconfirmedThe best way to understand the city: five stops, five districts, on the back of a bike.
Get it stated what the price covers: some tours advertise a low rate and charge for the food at each stop. And eat lightly at lunch — five stops is a full dinner, not five mouthfuls.
a tour sold by an operator, rider and helmet included. How many dishes and drinks are actually covered varies from one tour to the next, and no rate is published: have the price broken down before booking.
