Welcome to Saigon

Saigon - or Ho Chi Minh City - is an exciting, growing, lively city that's the main city in Southern Vietnam and gateway to the region. It’s a vibrant city crammed with interest, and one that’s worth a few days exploring as part of any Vietnam itinerary.

What to do in Saigon

Saigon itself is a fascinating mix of people and sights, with a lively atmosphere and plenty to see and do. Outside of the City, the Mekong Delta is alive with floating markets of fresh produce, set in beautiful countryside. The renowned Cu Chi Tunnels, outside of Saigon, is an amazing complex of underground tunnels that really gives the visitor a reality check in to the hardships of war.
