Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon is the largest city in Vietnam.
With its French colonial buildings, bustling markets, designer shops, incense-scented pagodas and stalls selling fragrant noodle soup, this city buzzes with tradition and modernity. We highly recommend spending up to three days here before taking a short one hour flight to spend lazy days on the stunning beaches of Nha Trang. If you can tear yourself away from the beach, you might like visit nearby Long Son Pagoda and climb the steps for a magnificent bird’s-eye view. This city and beach combination would make an ideal first time holiday to Vietnam.

- Visit the Saigon Skydeck 49th floor of the Bitexco Financial Tower for 360 degree views of the entire city
