Markets to the Mekong
Ben Thanh Market is the city’s most celebrated market. Here you can find everything from clothes to fresh produce. A feast for the senses, at night the market comes alive with food stalls. Take in the smells of the sweet spiced air and sample authentic dishes. Locals offer guided tours through the market pointing out their favourite stalls and vendors.
One of the longest rivers in the world, cruise along the Mekong Delta and see traditional Vietnamese life by the water. Ride a Sampan boat, taste fresh coconut milk at a village farm, enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch and visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, one of the country’s most beautiful and ancient temples.
Explore Underground
A tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels is your chance to learn about the immense network of underground tunnels that were used by Viet Cong soldiers as hideouts during the Vietnam War. The tunnels also served as a clever route for communication, food and medical care. Tours depart from Ho Chi Minh City daily, and some tours offer a traditional lunch and a ride on a Saigon River Express speedboat.
If Vietnam is somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit; Ho Chi Minh City is the country’s epicentre. Tour the alleys of Saigon on a motorcycle, learn about traditional Vietnamese medicine or get pampered with a cheap haircut and pedicure – there’s something for everyone in Ho Chi Minh City.
