Get to know Ho Chi Minh City with Viator

Few modern cities hang onto old-world splendor like Ho Chi Minh City. Still often referred to as Saigon, Vietnam’s southern hub delights its visitors with open-air food stalls, tucked-away markets, old French boulevards, Buddhist temples, and jungle roads. Into this melange go world-class hotels, high-end spas and shopping experiences, and fine dining like you’d expect in a city of 9 million strong.

Read the latest Ho Chi Minh City travel guides, trip ideas, and articles from Viator’s travel insiders, a community of writers and locals who’ve been all over the world to help travelers find and experience the best things to see and do.
