The War Remnants Museum is an exceptionally moving experience in HCMC, allowing an insight into the Vietnam War. It’s one of Vietnam’s most visited museums with exhibits showcasing the catastrophic event. A short drive from the city is the Chu Chi tunnels; this ancient tunnel complex was built underground during the Vietnam War and it’s now a popular tourist attraction where visitors can sample meals that underground soldiers once ate, discover the army’s underground routes, and fire a M16 rifle.
Ho Chi Minh City boasts some of Vietnam’s finest architectural masterpieces including the Notre-Dame Cathedral which was built in the late 1880s with neo-Romanesque styles, the striking Saigon Central Post Office which features French-colonial style architecture and the beautiful Taoist Jade Emperor Pagoda. There are also plenty of bustling markets in the city, selling pretty much everything that you can buy and bargaining is a big part of the city’s culture, so you’ll be able to barter for the best price!
