Notre Dame Cathedral was built between 1877 and 1883, and the stones used to create it were exported in its entirety from France.
Next to the cathedral stands the Central Post Office, finished in 1891. It is another fine example of French architecture and is Vietnam’s largest post office.
April 30th Park is the ideal place for you to stop, relax your soul and breathe in the cool breeze on hot summer days. This is an ideal rendezvous for interesting walks, letting you feel the fresh air amidst the dust of the streets. But not only that, this place also has countless other interesting things that make it stand out from other famous parks in Ho Chi Minh city.
Visit to the Ho Chi minh 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.
End the tour near by the Ben Thanh market by enjoying a special treat at a local eatery: BÁNH MÌ or PHỞ and CÀ PHÊ
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
