This hidden city, which endured countless bombings, reflects the resilience and determination of the soldiers and civilians who lived there. At Cu Chi, you’ll see wartime remnants up close and discover the ingenuity required to survive in such harsh conditions. As you explore, you’ll hear powerful stories and gain a deeper understanding of the fierce battles that took place here. After visiting the tunnels, we’ll enjoy a local Vietnamese lunch before returning to Ho Chi Minh City.

3. The Independence Palace, or Reunification Palace, is a key historical site in Ho Chi Minh City. Built in the 1960s, it was the former residence and workplace of South Vietnam’s presidents. It became a symbol of reunification when tanks entered its gates on April 30, 1975, marking the end of the Vietnam War. Today, visitors can explore its preserved rooms and artifacts, gaining insight into an important chapter of Vietnam’s history

   1 hAdmission included

4. The War Remnants Museum powerfully reflects the harsh realities of the Second Indochina War and its impact on the Vietnamese people. Its exhibits—including unsettling wartime photos, many from U.S. sources—show the suffering caused by bombings, napalm, and Agent Orange. The ground floor highlights international anti-war movements, contrasting with the more graphic displays above. With experimental weapons and the Requiem Exhibition honoring fallen photographers, the museum offers a sobering and meaningful look at the true cost of war
