2025 Ben Thanh Market Area Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

🚆Finally, we get the metro in the city! The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as it debuted during the bustling holiday season, when streets are typically jam-packed with traffic and everyone seems to be in a race against time. We started from Ben Thanh Market station to Suoi Tien station, stepped onto the sleek, brightly-lit platform for the first time, there was an undeniable energy in the air—a mixture of curiosity and excitement. The platform was not as crowded as expected because the metro was still in the experiment time before officially launching on Dec.22. It was as if the metro ushered in not just a new mode of transportation but a change in the city’s rhythm itself. #holidayseason #experience #localguides

Bat Trang pottery has a long history! I was able to easily get it at the city market! It's colorful and fun to choose. The price is also reasonable, starting from a few hundred yen! There are many souvenir shops in the market, but I especially recommend this shop! Enter Ben Thanh Market from Phan Chu Trinh Street and look for shop number "864"! I think it will be difficult to find with just this information, but I found an article that describes it in detail, so I have pasted it in the main text 🙌 Please refer to it! Vietnamese tableware brand Amai A Vietnamese tableware brand launched by a Belgian and Dutch designer ✨ If you purchase it online in Japan, it will cost more than twice as much, so I recommend purchasing it locally in Vietnam! It's a must-see spot when you go to Ho Chi Minh! (There are multiple stores in the city) They will carefully package it, so you can carry it home with a carry case with peace of mind I was able to purchase it at half price at the outlet store "Amai grandB" in Tao Dien, District 2! I was able to purchase a small plate for about 100 yen each...cheap! It's also perfect as a souvenir 🙌🏻 This was a large store, so it was a nice, open space! #overseastravel #Vietnamtrip #HoChiMinhTourism #VietnamTrip #BenThanhMarket

There is a bunch of ladies sitting in front of this New York Nail & Spa just outside of Ben Thanh market. Do not approach for their services. It’s expensive and they request for mandatory 100,00.00VND tip per person (that served you) afterwards. My nails looked horrible, horrendous and awful. It was patchy and it had a lot of bubbles, I believe the nail polish they have is very old. Also the “foot” massage that they pushed to provide costed us 200,00.00VND per session. I did not feel rejuvenated nor did I feel like it was my money’s worth. She was just pressing on my leg and just pinching my shoulders. I rather get massages in my homeland Posting this here for awareness. If anyone plans to go to HCMC avoid this place at all costs. #scammers
