2025 Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan Area Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

It's really clean, and the temperature is really nice, and you can tell the difference the moment you walk into this park. And standing here, you get beautiful view of the Landmark 81 and the skyscrapers around it, as well as the Thu Thiem 2 bridge (it will probably be renamed Ba Son bridge in the future). Overall, really nice, I recommend going here. #vietnamtrip

#VietnamTravel Vietnam is another country in the ASEAN region that is a popular place for tourists of all nationalities. I had the opportunity to travel to cities in the southern zone of Vietnam, such as Ho Chi Minh City and Vung Tau, each city has its own unique identity and cultural diversity, making it beautiful and charming in its own way. For those who want to go to a city similar to a European country, I recommend visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Because of the influence of Western countries during the history of his country, he has absorbed a lot of architectural and food culture. It is considered a beautiful city that you will never get bored of. Plus, it is very economical because the cost of living is similar to our country, maybe even cheaper. When I have the chance, I will travel to Northern and Central Vietnam because from what I have seen, each place looks very worth visiting. 😊 #Vietnam #SouthVietnam #VietnamTravel #vietnam #Ho Chi Minh City #Vung Tau

Nestled in a garden with a pebble ground and decorated with wooden benches, Dabao Concept exudes a nostalgic vibe influenced by traditional Vietnamese architecture. Double panel wooden doors with columns mark the entrance of the café, allowing breezes to pass through. With plenty of natural light, wooden roof tiles, and a colour scheme of only browns and whites both indoors and out, Dabao Concept’s design exudes a calming vibe and sense of airiness that makes guests feel comfortable. The drink price is not really cheap, it's above average, on average you have to pay 60KVND a drink. #foodie #coffeeshop #vietnam #hochiminhcity

#VietnamTravel Vietnam Travel An old cafe in Ho Chi Minh City, cheoreocafe✨️, has been making Vietnamese coffee for about 100 years, passed down through three generations. It has become famous in Korea after being featured on EBS Theme Travel. The coffee here, also known as herbal coffee, is made by leaving the water used for coffee at room temperature for about three days to remove various harmful substances and boiling it in a herbal coffee several times. There are two signature menus here, and the one I drank was bac xiu nong nho, a strong Vietnamese condensed milk coffee. It's sweet. It tastes just like Korean Maxim coffee. I don't know much about coffee, so I can't really comment, but it's hard to ignore the tradition of making coffee for nearly 100 years, using the same method. The owner, who is quite kind, even lets customers watch him make coffee himself if they want. 🎯74 Đ.

In the early days, many diplomats lived in the Caotian area of ​​District 2. Therefore, the buildings in that area are very Western-style. There are many foreigners on the streets. Many exotic restaurants and cafes have opened here. It is a very leisurely place, especially at night. Recommend this cafe 📍Ankafe The store is very quiet and the atmosphere is good. I recommend their tea.

Similar to Cambodia Ho Chi Minh City is crowd like Phnom Penh and most of the people are riding a motorbike. In the city there are many attractive place for you to see you around. We really enjoy walking from one interesting place to one interesting place and enjoy street food. It is good time with our team to try our neighbors food. #vietnamtravel #hochiminhcity #vietnamesefood

#createwithtrip Deng Long..I want to introduce this Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine restaurant at 130 Nguyen Trai, District 1 of Ho Chi Minh. It is one of my favourite Vietnamese restaurant whenever I visit Ho Chi Minh. Few years ago, I frequent this eatery rather often as my career sometimes brought me to this city rather frequently. The restaurant is nice but nothing extravagant. I just love the authenticity of the taste and the quality. It is absolutely fabulous. I especially love the Vietnamese spring roll here and always the Vietnamese vermicelli noodle with chicken stock. Absolutely fantastic. I haven’t been back since covid, I am salivating thinking about the food here. Do check it out if you are in town. Fantastic.

For those who are deciding to travel to Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam, I recommend a landmark check-in point for tourists. You can check in. The people are very cute, nice, and get along well with tourists. There are also free local guides to recommend tours. If anyone likes the guide to recommend tours, you can give a tip. The guide is very cute. But English is quite difficult to listen to for myself. 🥰

Look so beautiful and chill at night. I love the atmosphere and people here. You can try a lot of food with reasonable prices. Besides that the weather is perfect to walk around #trip #chill

#summerbreak Beautiful 4 day Vietnam summer stopover, to break up the journey from Sydney to London & tick another country off of the list. Just saw Ho Chi Minh on this trip, but will visit Northern Vietnam on another trip in the future! I love the freeway of travelling alone, you can work fully on your schedule & do all of the things that you desire at the pace of your choosing!

Looking to have the best of Ho Chi Minh's city at night? Why not try the Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus tour. We tried it and we super loved it. We booked our tickets online, one thing to skip the hassle. Speaking from experience, this is the best way to see the city at night and probably one the best things to do if you are in Saigon already. I would really recommend this if you are visiting Ho Chi Minh for the very first time. Well worth a time 🫶 #timetotravel #hochiminh #vietnam

#tripmoments spent the night partying on Bùi Viện street. Wonderful time but some of the bars was over charging so watch the prices on the menus.

How's our stay and travel experience in Ho Chi Minh? It was absolutely the best. I think Vietnam way more cheaper than Bangkok 🤣. If you're fortunate enough to have more time, you could spend a month or two in vietnam without having to worry about your expenses. You could explore da nang or just travel up north to Hanoi. I heard it was beautiful there compared to Ho Chi Minh. However, we absolutely loved the time we spent in Ho Chi Minh. We loved how friendly and nice the people here and just everything. It has everything you would want in terms of restaurants, malls and shops. Also, you can go around the city by bus, taxis, motorcycles etc. but for us, taxis are comfortable and affordable way to travel around Ho Chi Minh City Here are some of the places we visited in ho chi minh: 📍Benh Tahn Market 📍Bui Vien Walking Street 📍Notre Dame Cathedral 📍Saigon Central Post Office 📍War Remmants 📍Ho Chi Minh City Book Street 📍Vinh Nghiem Temple 📍Mekong Delta River (3hrs ride from the city center and another 3hrs going back. make sure not to book a tour on your last day because the traffic was crazy. you dont want to miss your flight like we almost did haha) 📍Vinh Trang Pagoda we skipped the cu chi tunnel, but I suggest you add this on your itinerary. #summerbreak #vietnam #hochiminhcity #saigonin2023 #saigonpostoffice🏫 #notredamecathedralsaigon #warremnantsmuseum #mekongdeltavietnam #vinhnghiempagoda #vihntrangpagoda #behnthanhmarket #buivienstreet

Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, is a dynamic city unlike any other in Vietnam. It is fast-growing and has a high business potential. With its city bustle, locals often wind down with a refreshing coffee or a cocktail. District 1 is home to skyscrapers above an old French museum, while motorbikes swerve through the streets below. Ben Thanh Market is a place where you can find everything from fine dining to fast food to street food carts. When it comes to nightlife, Ho Chi Minh City offers everything from cheap breweries to fancy cocktail bars to exciting nightclubs. With so much choice, you could easily pass out in your bedroom by sunrise. Unlike anywhere else in Vietnam, make the most of your evenings.

#Overseas travel Le'Fê Rooftop Bar is a rooftop bar in Bui Vien that I stumbled upon while wandering around looking for a place to have a drink at night. I must have found a great place because my instincts are not dead. At this Bui Vien rooftop bar, you can see the streets of Bui Vien and taste several kinds of cocktails and whiskey. What's interesting about this place is that the bar itself is themed around Stephen Chow. There are pictures of Stephen Chow all over the place, and Stephen Chow's movies are shown on the TVs that are about two generations old. And a whiskey like Johnnie Walker Black costs about 4,000 won a glass... It's perfect. And... the bartender, Tin, is also kind. . #Ho Chi Minh travel

#Overseas travel After breakfast, I stopped by here to have a light cup of coffee. They say Vietnam is famous for coffee, but I don't really like coffee, so I can't comment on the coffee at all. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm the one commenting on the food. Anyway, this place, which has been open for 5 years, sells traditional Vietnamese coffee and Italian coffee. They say it's Italian coffee, but the machine is actually Italian and the coffee beans are made in Vietnam. The owner, who greeted us warmly for some reason, soon guided us to the building right across the street, and said that the 2-story building he rented 3 days ago will soon be used as a whiskey bar and pub. #Ho Chi Minh travel

#Overseas travel It is true that Japanese #ramen is becoming as popular as rice noodles worldwide. We have already seen many new attempts at ramen in many European countries, and even in Vietnam, popular ramen franchises such as 8th Ramen, Ipudo, and others have entered. This 8th Ramen is a ramen specialty store that started as a small store in the middle of a rice field on National Route 8 in Kaga on February 11, 1967 (Showa 42). Ramen topped with a lot of stir-fried vegetables was the store's popular menu, and it became so popular that it sold 1,300 bowls of ramen a day in a 25-seat store, and later opened many franchises. It is said that the store name was named 8th Ramen after National Route 8. Mr. Goto, the founder of 8th Ramen. Anyway, this place in Ho Chi Minh City has smaller portions and cheaper prices than in Japan. It was nice to be able to taste kimchi for the first time in a long time because there was kimchi on the side menu. #Ho Chi Minh restaurant #Ramen restaurant

#Overseas travel Seafood restaurant quan33detham is a local seafood restaurant in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. There is a large aquarium at the entrance and they cook with fresh seafood. The female owner is very kind. If you have any questions, she will kindly explain everything to you. Be careful because if you choose the wrong menu, you may get dishes that only locals can eat. #quan33detham #Ho Chi Minh #Restaurant

#Overseas travel This place, Pho Quyn, is a rice noodle restaurant located on Bu Bien Street. It is the most popular among the many rice noodle restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and is so famous that the entire building is a rice noodle restaurant. Of course, it has become a franchise. Pho Quyn on Bu Bien occupies an entire building, but it is always crowded, but all the floors are too open, so it looks a little unsanitary. The spicy meat soup here is better than you think, and the egg can be eaten with rice noodles like Jeonju-style bean sprout soup in Korea, or eaten separately. #Ho Chi Minh restaurant #Pho Quyn
