MORNING: SAIGON CITY TOUR

In the morning, the vehicle and tour guide will pick up the group at 175 Pham Ngu Lao Street, Pham Ngu Lao Ward, District 1, and begin the Saigon City – Cu Chi full-day tour.

The group will start visiting famous attractions in Ho Chi Minh City, including:

● War Remnants Museum

A place that preserves and displays artifacts and images from the wartime period.

● Independence Palace (Reunification Palace)

One of the most iconic landmarks in Saigon that visitors should not miss. The palace features unique architecture symbolizing the aspiration for national permanence and peace.

● Notre Dame Cathedral

One of the most recognizable symbols of Ho Chi Minh City. Built in 1880, it is not only the city’s most important Catholic church but also a remarkable French colonial architectural work in Vietnam.

● Saigon Central Post Office

Located at No. 2 Paris Commune Square, District 1. Built between 1886 and 1891 by the famous architect Gustave Eiffel, the building features rectangular panels on its facade bearing the names of pioneers in telegraphy and electricity. It is currently the largest post office in Vietnam.

LUNCH

After finishing the visits to the four main attractions in central Saigon, the vehicle and tour guide will take the group to a local restaurant in the city for lunch.

AFTERNOON: CU CHI TUNNELS
