[2025 Ho Chi Minh City Attraction] Travel Guide for Ben Thanh Market (Updated Mar)

Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon) is one of the largest cities in Vietnam. This two-day, one-night trip gave me a deeper understanding of this vibrant and historically rich city. Although the time was short, I could still feel its enthusiasm and diverse charm. Here are my travel insights from Ho Chi Minh City. Day 1: Exploring the City, Experiencing the Blend of History and Modernity On the first day of arriving in Ho Chi Minh City, I chose to start from the city center to feel the unique atmosphere of this city. The first stop was the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, a 19th-century church that is a relic of the French colonial period. Its elegant red brick exterior and Gothic architectural style are breathtaking. The square in front of the church is also a gathering place for locals and tourists, with many people taking photos or resting there. Next, I visited the Central Post Office, which is adjacent to the Notre-Dame Cathedral. This is a typical French-style building with luxurious interior decorations, old-fashioned phone booths, and wooden benches, making one feel as if they have traveled back to the colonial era. The atmosphere inside the post office is both ancient and modern, making it a daily communication place for tourists and locals alike. At noon, I enjoyed local delicacies at Ben Thanh Market in the city center. This is one of the most famous markets in Ho Chi Minh City, offering a variety of tropical fruits, Vietnamese snacks, and handicrafts. I tasted the classic Vietnamese Pho, with its delicious broth and rich ingredients, making it a must-try. The local spring rolls were also fresh and refreshing, whetting my appetite. In the afternoon, I decided to visit the Ho Chi Minh City Museum, which showcases the history and cultural development of the city. From Vietnam's war history to its modernization process, the museum gave me a deeper understanding of the city's background. The exhibits include numerous photos, artifacts, and films, detailing Vietnam's independence movement and struggles. After dinner, I chose to take a walk along the Saigon River. The night view here is very charming. Walking along the riverside, you can see high-rise buildings and colorful neon lights on both sides, with the lively atmosphere and fresh river breeze intertwined. At this time, Ho Chi Minh City has both the prosperity of a modern metropolis and the leisure of a southern city. Day 2: A Tourist Experience Combining Nature and Culture On the morning of the second day, I went to the Independence Palace (also known as the Reunification Palace), an important historical site of the Vietnam War and a local landmark. The interior of the palace is well-preserved, restoring the office spaces and living areas of the South Vietnamese government and the president. Walking through these ancient rooms, one can feel the grandeur of that historical period. The gardens and ponds outside the palace also add a lot of greenery, making the entire site full of tranquility. Then, I took a taxi to the suburbs of the Mekong Delta to experience Vietnam's unique water village culture. During the Mekong River tour, I took a traditional small boat, paddling on the vast river, with lush coconut trees and water houses on both sides, making me feel like I had entered a paradise. Along the way, I also visited local handicraft shops, tasted fresh tropical fruits, and interacted with friendly locals. After returning to the city, I quickly went to the Dong Khoi Market, which sells a variety of souvenirs and specialty items. During the shopping process, I not only picked out a few exquisite trinkets but also felt the enthusiasm and joy in the lives of the locals. Conclusion The two-day, one-night trip to Ho Chi Minh City was short but fulfilling and memorable. This city not only has a rich historical background but also blends the prosperity of a modern metropolis with the beauty of nature. From historical sites to modern buildings, from bustling markets to tranquil rivers, Ho Chi Minh City always attracts every visitor with its various facets. If you have the chance to visit Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is undoubtedly a must-see destination.

Easy plan for traveling by yourself!! 🏨 Stay at Cherry Boutique Hotel ( last picture ) Good price with breakfast 👍🏻 Near tourist attractions, food areas and near the train station Day 1 - Saigon Opera House ( On the day I went, there was still construction-renovation, so I didn't get to take beautiful pictures 🥹 ) - Ben Thanh Market ( You can find food and souvenirs here!! It feels like Pratunam, Sampeng, very cheap 🥰) - Fine Arts Museum ( There is an entrance fee of 30,000 dong. You can take cool pictures here ) - Hochiminh City Hall ( Very beautiful, don't miss it! ) - Central Post Office ( In case you want to buy more souvenirs, there are things to buy inside. Gives a classic feel ) - Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon is right next to the post office. It's beautiful, but unfortunately, it's not finished being renovated yet. - Book street is a small walking street. Mostly bookstores - Co.Opmart, end at the supermarket, buy souvenirs!! **Eat along the way, go into any shop, every shop is delicious, reasonable price ^^ Day 2 - Cafe Apartment, don't miss it!! Full of food and don't forget to try the "egg coffee" menu. - Tan Dinh Church is very beautiful, bright colors, but! On the day I went, it was closed (if you want to take pictures inside, please check the opening and closing times first) In the afternoon, fly back home!! 🥰 Additional food: 🧋Phuc Long Tea Shop is a recommended tea shop! I want you to try it, it's delicious and fragrant. 🍜Must try the Michelin-starred Pho shop, HUONG BINH!! The taste is excellent! 🥖Banh Mi Bread, available at 7-Eleven and general stores, when you get there, you have to try it because it's so delicious. 🍚COM TAM CALI shop next to Cafe Apartment, the food is very reasonably priced, delicious ~ ☕️Coffee bean shop, located in Ben Thanh Market (Only one shop) The salesman speaks a little Thai. Highly recommended because the coffee is so delicious! Most of the time, I travel by Grab. If you want to take the subway (which just opened), you can use the Youtrip card (master cards) to tap in. You don't have to buy a ticket. P.S. But the train will take a long time and is often broken. 🥹 #VietnamTravel #HoChiMinhTravel #trip

The market is open early morning and stays open well into the evening and it always bustling with life.

Many items can be found in the market from clothes, bags, pottery souveniers, local coffee, and there is also food options and drinks too. Most of the stalls require you to haggle, or bargain. I experienced reducing a price from 450,000 to 100,000VND. The vendors can be a little pushy but overall very friendly. The building itself is old, large, and a nice setting. With a high roof to keep the sun away. Would recommend a vist #market #hochiminhcity #asiatrip #bargainhunting

Ho Chi Minh City feels like a city built for young people—authentic, cheap, fun, and loud! Trip Details ✈️ We went with six friends in December. We flew to Nha Trang, spent a day there, and the next morning took a flight to Saigon (the old name of Ho Chi Minh City, still widely used). Flights in Vietnam 🛫 We flew Vietjet Air, the cheapest low-cost airline—and always late. Our 11 AM flight ended up departing at 6:20 PM after multiple reschedules. If you can, pay just $10 more and fly Vietnam Airlines—better service, often empty seats, and almost always on time. Where We Stayed 🏙️ We rented a 3-bedroom condo at Millennium via Airbnb. It had an outdoor pool with stunning city views and cost just $70 per person for 6 days. If you book earlier, you can find even better deals—like condos in Landmark 81, the tallest building in Vietnam. Food & Cafés 🍜 Must-visit places: • Little Hanoi – Famous café, amazing egg coffee ☕ • Haidilao – Iconic hotpot chain, we spent only $13 per person! Expect a 1-2-hour wait, but they offer free snacks, ice cream, lemonade, even manicures & massages! • Bep Me In – Classic Vietnamese cuisine, near Ben Thanh Market • Cafe Apartments – A 6-story old building with cool cafés on each floor, packed with tourists from all over the world • Oshima’s Café – Aesthetic spot, worth visiting to explore the city • Banh Mi Huynh Hoa – The most famous banh mi spot, loaded with 4-5 types of meat 🥖 More upscale options: • Hum Cafe & Restaurant – In the top 20 vegan restaurants worldwide 🌱 • Stir Bar – Ranked top 50 best bars 🍸 • Pizza 4Ps – Vietnamese-Italian pizzeria, opened by the Japanese. Amazing pizza & pasta! 🍕 Shopping & Thrift Finds 🛍️ Ho Chi Minh City is great for shopping, especially for thrift lovers and local Vietnamese designers. The prices are similar to Zara, but the quality and designs are way better. We dedicated a full day to visiting these showrooms—definitely worth it! Places to Visit 🎟️ • War Remnants Museum – American-Vietnamese War history • Ben Thanh Market – A must-visit bazaar • Cu Chi Tunnels – A network of war tunnels outside the city, tours cost ~$20 Final Thoughts 🌍 We didn’t go for the cheapest options—most places we visited had prices similar to Kazakhstan. But if you’re on a budget, you can definitely eat and stay for much less! Overall, Ho Chi Minh City is an amazing mix of history, energy, and great food—definitely worth visiting!

#2月好去地方2025 Many people who come to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, will probably plan to visit this Penang market. Basically, more than 90% of the people who come here are tourists. Simply put, this is a place for tourists to spend money. The prices of the items inside are very high, it's basically to rip off tourists. Many of the shop owners there can speak foreign languages, including Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, which is amazing. Especially Chinese. Maybe because there are many tourists here, many shop owners here can speak Chinese. In addition to food, you should try to bargain for everything sold here, because the rent of the stalls here is already very expensive, so after adding the selling price, the prices of things here will become expensive, so they add another fee for you to bargain. So when you buy something, just bargain with him directly, and start by asking for a discount. That's right And many of Ho Chi Minh City's famous restaurants are nearby. So guests who have finished their meal will also bring their food here for consumption. And after you finish your visit here, you can also find some good restaurants nearby.

The seller will offer you ridiculous prices, that means you have to bargain hard. Most of the items they sell are the same between one to another seller. But some sellers near the entrance of West gate offer a fixed price. I definitely do not recommend the food area inside this market , they will stop you and force you to buy a meal at their shop and you know what, the food we got was totally different from the one we ordered. (You can get some good food at the food court near the Independence palace ) There's a money changers inside this market, they gave us a good deal 😁. Beware of pick pockets!!

Just came back from Vietnam, and it was really great value for money. There weren't many people when we went during the National Day holiday. Round-trip flights were CNY 2,600, and you could stay in a super luxury hotel for CNY 500–600. You could eat your fill for CNY 10+ per person, and CNY 100+ would be a luxury meal. We entered from Ho Chi Minh City and left from Hanoi, traveling from south to north. We spent 9D8N in 6 cities. My itinerary was very tight. If you want to travel in depth, you can skip a few cities. I will share the route with you in the second picture: Day 1 Arrive in Ho Chi Minh City, have a local specialty for dinner, enjoy the night view, and rest to prepare for the trip. Day 2 Ho Chi Minh City city walk: Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral—Central Post Office—Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon—Independence Palace—Ben Thanh Market—Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts—Opera House (night bus tour)—Bui Vien Street Take a night bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Lat, about 7 hours.

The mountain road is rugged and easy to get carsick. We had a seafood feast at Thanh Suong 2 in Nha Trang, which was very fresh. Then we went to the night market and took a walk on the beach, which was very pleasant. Day 5 Nha Trang city walk: Hon Chong Promontory—Po Nagar Cham Towers—Nha Trang Cathedral—An Thoi—Ola Cafe—Nha Trang Night Market Take a night bus from Nha Trang to Da Nang, about 10 hours.

In the morning, we went to the water coconut forest to experience the coconut boat. Then we went to Hoi An Ancient Town to stroll around, visit ancient temples and guild halls, taste coffee, and enjoy the beautiful night view of the ancient town with a Nanyang style. Because it was the weekend, we saw the Dragon Bridge spitting fire when we returned to Da Nang. We were very lucky. Day 8 Ride a bike to Hai Van Pass. We rented an electric motorcycle. The Hai Van Pass is known as one of the 50 cycling routes you must visit in your life, and it is indeed very beautiful. We took a direct flight to Hanoi in the evening.

In addition to shopping, shopping, and eating in the Bincheng market, the most important thing is to exchange money - there are many silver buildings around to exchange money, US dollars, Taiwan dollars, or various Asian denominations are accepted, and the exchange rate is very good. The snack stalls in Bincheng Market are not very prominent in taste, but they are authentic enough. Vietnamese spring rolls are crispy and crispy, Vietnamese cha siu is smooth and tender, and sticky meat is savory and refreshing. Authentic Vietnamese street snacks are! Shopping remember to kill price comparison (from 30% off kill), otherwise it will be very disadvantageous.
