About Ciudad Ho Chi Minh

Ciudad Ho Chi Minh, aún llamada Saigón, es el bullicioso centro comercial de Vietnam, con edificios coloniales, historia bélica y comida callejera.

El Distrito 1 reúne las principales atracciones a poca distancia a pie: la catedral de Notre-Dame de ladrillo rojo, la elegante Oficina Central de Correos con su sala abovedada, la Ópera colonial y el ornamentado Ayuntamiento. El Palacio de la Independencia conserva sus salas tal como estaban al final de la guerra, y el Museo de los Vestigios de la Guerra cuenta la historia del conflicto con una franqueza que hace reflexionar.
