Itinerary
1
The Venerable Thich Quang Duc Monument
Pay respects at the memorial to the Buddhist monk whose 1963 self-immolation became one of the defining images of 20th-century Vietnam.
15 minutes
2
Tao Dan Park
Start the morning at this leafy District 1 park where local bird-keepers gather at dawn to hang their caged songbirds in the trees and share tea - a rarely-visited Saigon ritual.
30 minutes
3
Ho Thi Ky Flower Market
Walk through narrow lanes packed with fresh-cut flowers, where Saigon's florists buy their blooms before sunrise - a riot of color and scent most tourists never see.
30 minutes
4
Central Post Office
Step inside the Gustave Eiffel-designed hall to see the original hand-painted maps and one of the city's last public letter-writers - a postcard-perfect colonial landmark.
15 minutes
5
Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral
A French colonial cathedral built 1877-1880 from bricks shipped in from Marseille - currently under restoration, so we photo-stop for the exterior view.
6
Binh Tay Market
Weave through the apothecary alleys of Saigon's Chinatown around Binh Tay Market, where stalls are stacked with dried herbs, seahorses, and roots still used in Vietnamese-Chinese traditional medicine.
30 minutes
7
The Independence Palace
Drive past the gates where a North Vietnamese tank crashed through on April 30, 1975, ending the Vietnam War. Also known as Reunification Palace.
