This long-lasting masterpiece, seen as the architectural symbol of Ho Chi Minh City, hosts a flock of new tourists every day who seek ancient grandeur, holiness, and enchanting photography spots.
The Municipal Theatre of Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon Municipal Opera House (Vietnamese: Nhà hát Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh; French: Opėra Municipal de Saigon), is an opera house in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is an example of French Colonial architecture in Vietnam.
Ben Thanh Market is the most famous shopping destination for tourists in Ho Chi Minh City. It is a nice place to buy local handicrafts, branded items, Vietnamese art and other souvenirs. In addition to shopping, this oldest market in the city is also an attraction in itself.
Situated in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Nguyen Hue Walking Street is a popular tourist destination that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and modernity. With its beautiful floral displays, impressive skyline, and bustling atmosphere, this street attracts visitors from all over the world who come to experience its vibrant energy.
The hall was built in 1902–1908 in a French colonial style by architect Paul Gardès. Since 1975, the building has housed the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, Ho Chi Minh City People's Council and Ho Chi Minh City People's Court. The building is popular for its photo opportunities. Tourists can take photographs outside and many people choose to do this at night when the building and its grounds are lit up.
Built in 1909 in honour of the supreme Taoist god (the Jade Emperor or King of Heaven, Ngoc Hoang), this is one of the most atmospheric temples in Ho Chi Minh City, stuffed with statues of phantasmal divinities and grotesque heroes. The pungent smoke of incense (huong) fills the air, obscuring the exquisite woodcarvings. Its roof is encrusted with elaborate tile work, and the temple's statues, depicting characters from both Buddhist and Taoist lore, are made from reinforced papier mâché.

Traveler reviews
Beautiful experience
I found this site suggested by the web as one of the most historic and serious in Ho Chi Minh and so it was. Fast registration process, well presented and described tours with many options. Paul my guide was outstanding, young engineering student boy, passionate about his city and history. He took me on a scooter for a 100% local experience! He explained everything very well and was of a kindness and helpfulness rarely now found. I highly recommend them and also great prices really.
Memorable Food Experience in Ho Chi Minh City
We booked a private food tasting tour in Ho Chi Minh City, and it was an excellent experience. Our guide, Kristen, was very helpful and cheerful. He arrived on time, took the effort to understand our tastes and preferences, and tailored the tour accordingly. The food we tried was outstanding, and Kristen also shared interesting insights about the flower market, along with giving us a glimpse into Vietnamese culture and daily life. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable experience, and we would highly recommend this tour.
Amazing Sightseeing tour
I had a great sightseeing tour - I was picked up from the entrance of my hotel and dropped off there as well. The guide was knowledgable and asked me which places I have already been to so I do not have to repeat them. The guide went with me to the presidential palace and gave me a private tour which was amazing and I learnt a lot. I had enough time to go to the post office to send postcards home. He even recommended a good local coffee spot with very good price! I highly recommend taking this tour if you want to have a private experience and see the important sights of Hi Chi Minh city.
