The museum also showcases international anti-war support, making it a compelling place to understand the harsh realities of war.
The Independence Palace, or Reunification Palace, is a key historical landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. Built in the 1960s, it was the residence of South Vietnam’s presidents and witnessed the end of the Vietnam War on April 30, 1975. Visitors can explore its meeting rooms, reception halls, and 1970s artifacts, while enjoying its unique architecture and learning about Vietnam’s history and reunification.
Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, built by the French between 1877 and 1880, is a striking symbol of Ho Chi Minh City. Featuring Romanesque and Gothic architecture, twin 58-meter bell towers, and imported red brick façades, its interior showcases stunning stained glass windows. The cathedral is both a place of worship and a popular cultural and historical attraction.
The Central Post Office of Saigon, built by the French between 1886 and 1891, is a Neo-Classical landmark near Notre-Dame Cathedral. Its ornate façade, high vaulted interior, and historic murals make it a popular site for visitors to explore Saigon’s architecture and history.
From central Ho Chi Minh City, the car and guide will take you to the Cu Chi Tunnels to explore one of the most famous historical sites of the Vietnam War.
