Detailed Itinerary

08.00 AM. ViTravel’s guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel then bring you out for the city exploration.

Start with a visit to the city’s most iconic building: Reunification Hall. Formerly called the Presidential Palace, images of the building were seen around the world on 30 April 1975 when tanks stormed the gates as Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese. Hear the echoes of time while walking through this historic downtown site.

Admire the beautiful architecture of the Opera House, City Hall, and the old Saigon Post Office, Hear about the glory days of French Indochina and how that era continues to influence aspects of modern Vietnamese culture.

Step inside the War Remnants Museum for an insightful, yet sombre, look into Vietnam’s military history. See exhibitions displaying imagery from the French and American wars, learn more about the country’s struggle for independence and hear tales of the resilience of the Vietnamese people.

Having lunch at a local restaurant at noon.

In the afternoon, let’s drive to districts 5 and 6 to explore China Town and its famous relics as Thien Hau Temple – which was built by the Chinese who came earlier by seaway to dedicate the Goddess of the Sea. Explore the highlights of this fascinating area, beginning with intricate friezes, carved tableau and impressive incense coils that make for some great photos. Then observe street life through the narrow streets to Binh Tay market that sells everything from clothes to dried squid. Then head back to district one to visit the last destination of the tour: Ben Thanh market where you can see lots of shops selling clothes, souvenirs, fruits, and flowers…a good place to try your bargaining skills.
