5. Soak up HCMC’s Skyline Enjoy a walking tour through all of Ho Chi Minh’s most important sites! The Notre-Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office are stunning architectural feats in the centre of the city. The Neo-Romanesque Notre-Dame church, built by the French, is a striking Catholic meeting point in a largely Buddhist society while the classic Central Post Office, built between 1886 and 1891, is a striking remnant of past times. The halls are lined with historic maps of South Vietnam, Saigon, and Cholon. These two beautiful buildings are popular with tourists as they offer striking insight into the cultural and historical influences at play in Vietnam. From the Post Office, our guide will show you the historic CIA Headquarters and tell you the story of the last US helicopter flying out of Saigon in 1975, as well as the last US Operation in Vietnam – Frequent Wind. We’ll stroll leisurely along Dong Khoi street to visit the very beautiful Opera House and City Hall.

About Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh-byen, stadig ofte kaldet Saigon, er Vietnams summende handelscentrum med franske koloniale vartegn, krigshistorie og fremragende gademad.

Distrikt 1 rummer hovedseværdighederne inden for gåafstand: den røde murstens Notre-Dame-katedral, det elegante Centralpostkontor med sin hvælvede hal, det koloniale Operahus og det udsmykkede Rådhus. Uafhængighedspaladset bevarer sine rum, som de var ved krigens afslutning, og Krigsmuseet fortæller om konflikten med nøgtern direkthed.
