1. The palace is like a time capsule frozen in 1975. You can see two of the original tanks used in the capture of the palace parked in the grounds. Independence Palace was the home and workplace of the French Governor of Cochin-China. It has lush gardens, secret rooms, antique furniture, and a command bunker. It's still in use to host important occasions in Ho Chi Minh, including APEC summits.

7. Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 is a great place to buy local handicrafts, branded goods, Vietnamese art and other souvenirs. Here, you’ll find eating stalls inside the market where you can get a taste of hawker-style Vietnamese cuisine or simply cool off with a cold drink when the bargaining becomes too much. The market is big, difficult to navigate at times and certainly best avoided during the hottest part of the day but all the same its well worth a look.

8. A must see in Saigon: The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City first opened to the public in 1975. Once known as the ‘Museum of American War Crimes’, it's a shocking reminder of the long and brutal Vietnam War. Graphic photographs and American military equipment are on display. There's a helicopter with rocket launchers, a tank, a fighter plane, a single-seater attack aircraft. You can also see a conventional bomb that weighs at 6,800kg. American troops had used these weapons against the Vietnamese between 1945 and 1975.

About Ho Chi Minh-staden

Ho Chi Minh-staden, ofta kallad Saigon, är Vietnams pulserande handelscentrum med franska koloniala landmärken, krigshistoria och fantastisk gatumat.

Distrikt 1 rymmer de viktigaste sevärdheterna inom gångavstånd: den röda tegelkatedralen Notre-Dame, det eleganta Centralpostkontoret med sin välvda hall, det koloniala operahuset och det utsmyckade rådhuset. Självständighetspalatset bevarar sina rum som de var vid krigets slut, och Krigsrestmuseet berättar om konflikten med nykter rakhet.
