Get to know Ho Chi Minh City with Viator

Few modern cities hang onto old-world splendor like Ho Chi Minh City. Still often referred to as Saigon, Vietnam’s southern hub delights its visitors with open-air food stalls, tucked-away markets, old French boulevards, Buddhist temples, and jungle roads. Into this melange go world-class hotels, high-end spas and shopping experiences, and fine dining like you’d expect in a city of 9 million strong.
