What can you do in Ho Chi Minh City in one day?
Summary of a one-day tour in Ho Chi Minh City
🎈 Depart from the hotel at 7 AM, and first head to the must-visit egg coffee in Ho Chi Minh City. The coffee and toast here taste great. Highly recommended! Photos 6-8
💒 First stop: Pink Church. This is a vintage French-style building and is quite worth a visit. You can go to the rooftop of the restaurant opposite to take photos, which will be more photogenic. Photos 1-2
🏤 Second stop: Central Post Office. Every corner is filled with great photo opportunities, with old mailboxes and vintage phone booths full of stories, all very charming. Here, you can write a postcard to send to friends and family. Photos 3-4
🏢 Third stop: Coffee Apartment. An old apartment building converted into a coffee and dining-focused building. You need to pay to take the elevator. Photo 5
☕ Fourth stop: Cafe ngam may bay near the airport. The cafe is located on the 5th floor of a residential building next to the airport. Navigate to the cafe's name, get off, enter an alley, and you will see a huge sign. Enter the elevator to the 5th floor. The view here is great. Photo 7
This is my one-day tour summary. I hope it helps you.

Trip to Ho Chi Minh 🇻🇳
It was a trip with family to Ho Chi Minh City. We visited many places and restaurants. Just want to share some of my favorite places 😍
We visited reunification palace (Independence Palace). Former presidential palace, key site during the Fall of Saigon in 1975. If you are visiting, I would advice you to join a guided tour to learn about its history.
💰 VND 40,000 (approx. USD 1.70)
📍135 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Ben Thanh Ward, District 1
We also visited War Remnants Museum. It Exhibits on the Vietnam War, including photos, artifacts, and military equipment. Some exhibits may be graphic; best for those prepared for intense historical content.
💰VND 40,000 (approx. USD 1.70)
📍28 Vo Van Tan, Ward 6, District 3
We also explored the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon. French-colonial cathedral, iconic twin towers. If you prefer to take lots of pictures 📸 like me, I would advise you to visit in the morning for good lighting.
📍Ben Nghe Ward, District 1
We also visited the Saigon Central Post Office. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel, stunning architecture, still functioning as a post office.
📍2 Cong Xa Paris, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1
We also explored the Nha Hang Ngon. It Offers a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes in a beautiful setting.
📍160 Pasteur, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1
🍔
To experience the cultural and culinary better, we also explored the Ben Thanh Market. It is a bustling market with local crafts, souvenirs, and food stalls.
P/S: Bargain politely to get the best prices 💰💰💰
📍Le Loi, Ben Thanh Ward, District 1
We also visited Jade Emperor Pagoda. Taoist pagoda with intricate carvings, statues, and incense-filled atmosphere. Do visit early to avoid crowds and observe locals praying.
📍 73 Mai Thi Luu, Da Kao Ward, District 1
I would also recommend you to visit Thien Hau Temple. It is dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess, Mazu; beautiful courtyard and altars. You can also walk the surrounding Chinatown for a deeper cultural experience.
📍710 Nguyen Trai, Ward 11, District 5 (Chinatown)
Just to share some of my favourite restaurants 🥘 We visited Quan An Ngon. We tried their Goi Cuon (spring rolls), Bun Rieu (crab noodle soup), Com Tam (broken rice with grilled pork). All of them were really delicious 😍😍😍
💰VND 100,000 - 200,000 (approx. USD 4 - 8)
📍 138 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Ben Thanh Ward, District 1
You may also try Cuc Gach Quan. This is a cozy, eco-friendly restaurant serving delicious home-style Vietnamese dishes. Out of all the food, the dishes that we love the most were Bo Kho (beef stew), Ca Kho To (caramelized fish in clay pot), Canh Chua (sour soup) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
💰 VND 150,000 - 300,000 (approx. USD 6 - 12)
📍 10 Dang Tat, Tan Dinh Ward, District 1

Vietnam Travel Guide | Almost got heatstroke in Ho Chi Minh
In Ho Chi Minh for a few days it was:
💒 Checking out attractions
🍜 Eating Vietnamese noodles
☕️ Drinking coffee
🛍️ Shopping for clothes
💆♀️ Getting a massage
1️⃣ About attractions
- If you have time, the Central Post Office/Pink Church/Art Gallery/War Remnants Museum are all worth a visit
- The Central Post Office is quite small, and there are some souvenir shops inside
- We went to the Pink Church on the weekend when it was closed, so we just took photos at the coffee shop opposite
- The Art Gallery is relatively large and worth visiting, also very photogenic
- The War Remnants Museum is the most popular, mainly about the history of the Vietnam War, and there are a lot of Western visitors
2️⃣ About Vietnamese noodles
- Didn't specifically plan to eat at any particular place, just randomly went to a Vietnamese noodle shop near the Central Post Office, turned out to be a hidden gem
- Picture 10, the shop name is pho cao van
- Ordered two bowls of beef noodles with a whole 🥥 for only 45 RMB
- There was also a compatriot eating there who didn't have cash, so he exchanged with us on WeChat. When paying, we told the owner we would pay together, and when she saw we were not at the same table, she told the compatriot not to worry about it and to come back after exchanging money.
3️⃣ About coffee
- Visited the popular ones like the workshop coffee / dabao / Linh, etc.
- Vietnamese coffee is really good! Especially the salted coffee, which is salty and sweet!
- Coconut coffee is too sweet for me, but those who like sweet drinks can try it
4️⃣ About shopping
- If you want to keep it simple, just go to D Nguyen Trai street
- I don't think you need to specifically look for a certain store, many of the stores recommended online didn't have anything great, and some of the more popular ones were of average quality
- Anyway, there are super many clothing stores on this street, if you have time you can visit each one
- The green short-sleeved shirt in pictures 5/8/11 was just from a random store, only 55 yuan!! And the quality is pretty good
5️⃣ About massage
- Massage shops are everywhere, but still check Google Maps for reviews according to your needs
- I had a body massage at Norah spa, the environment is relatively better, comfort level is average, similar to domestic ones, but definitely cheaper
- Had a hair wash at Xuan Lan Spa&Hair, also not expensive, quite formal, worth experiencing
- Both of these shops are on the same street, very close to each other, and there are also some clothing stores nearby like Datt/ S.C Studio etc.
- Finally, make sure to wear sunscreen, Ho Chi Minh is really super hot and the sun is extremely strong! It feels like melting on the streets during the day!

Places Worth Visiting in Ho Chi Minh City
#familytrips2024 #vianasjourney #awesomepic
1) Ho Chi Minh Town Hall; Beautiful architecture -French colonial style.
2) Post Office; Old building, selling souveniors and if you interested to join hop in hop off bus, this is the starting point. Plenty of small food stall outside of the post office, all accept cash.
3) War Remnants Museum; There were plenty of real pictures during the war, how locals were struggling and everything. Be cautious if you bringing children because even for me, I got very emotional when reading and seeing those images. Ticket is very cheap, you can buy onsite/ at entrance.
4) Landmark 81; Tallest building in Vietnam. The lights makes it look majestic in the evening. If you have time, take the chance and view Saigon from the top of this building.
5) Tan Dinh Church; Unique because the colour if the building but honestly, it was hard to take nice pictures over here because it was super crowded. Visitors are not allowed during mass hours.
6) Bach Dang Station; More modern and colourful architectures. Near the harbour, there is an open space/ park with a lot of benches for visitors.
7) Ben Thanh Market; Selling mostly souveniors, clothes, food and drinks. All kind of stuff available here. If you wanna eat like local, come here. Food were super cheap but so delicious. Here what I recommend;
- Pho
- Vietnamese coffee
- Crispy Vietnamese Pancake ; contain shredded coconut
- chargrilled pork and betel leaves

Iconic Landmark in Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳
#cherryblossom2024
This place is always included in the top tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh City and I understand why. This place is very picturesque which makes it a very good location for photographers or people who just love taking photos. A perfect backdrop indeed.
Entrance fee: Free
❗️Reminder
This place is a church so make sure to dress appropriately when you visit.
How to reach: we walked here from our hotel in district two which is quite central but Grab is always there if you don’t want to walk.
Enjoy!

Exploring the Pink Cathedral in Ho Chi Minh City! 🌸⛪️
Vietnam is home to many beautiful churches due to its colonial history, showcasing a strong French influence in its architecture. One must-visit is the Jesus Sacred Heart Cathedral in Ho Chi Minh City, a vivid reminder of the French colonial era. Another historical pink church worth exploring is Tan Dinh Church.
Location:
The Jesus Sacred Heart Cathedral is approximately 15 minutes away from the Central Post Office. Situated in the bustling area of Ho Chi Minh City, it is surrounded by numerous eateries, making it a perfect spot for an afternoon tea. However, be cautious of the hectic motorbike traffic; Vietnamese motorcyclists can be quite daring.
Visiting Hours:
The church is closed on Sundays and Mondays due to worship services. Additionally, from Tuesday to Saturday, the church is not open to visitors from 12 PM to 2 PM. The best time for photography is around 4-5 PM when the light is soft. Note that photography is not allowed inside the church.
Tips:
- Entrance to the church is free.
- The café on the opposite side of the church on the second floor offers a nice view.
- Interior photography is prohibited.
- Keep your belongings secure and pay attention when crossing the road due to heavy traffic.
- As travel agencies typically don't include this spot, the crowd is mostly composed of independent travelers.
Address: 289 Hai Bà Trưng, Phường 8, Quận 3, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam 📍

Pink Church in Vietnam 🇻🇳🌸💐🌷🎀🩷🩰
This church is deemed one of the oldest catholic church in Ho Chi Minh City, definitely worth a visit for its history as well as the aesthetic exterior!!!
When I visited, I was not allowed to enter the church for some reasons, so I would advise you to double check the opening hours if you wish to go inside the church.
Apart from taking pictures within close proximity with the church, I would also advise to visit either one of the cafes across the street. I visited Cộng Cà Phê and was lucky to grab a seat right by the window so I can enjoy the view while drinking coffee in aircon room!!

The pink church in Ho Chi Minh City - Tan Dinh Church
Tan Dinh Church (Tân Định Church) is a Roman Catholic church in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Its formal name is the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
It is the second-largest church in Ho Chi Minh City, after Notre-Dame Basilica in District 1. They both belong to the Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City.
It was built during the French colonial period in the 1870s and completed on 16 December 1876, when Vietnam was part of French Indochina. The architecture is mainly neo-Romanesque, but it also has some neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance elements.
It has been painted pastel-pink both on the exterior and interior since 1957, earning it the nickname "the pink church".

A beautiful Catholic church ⛪️ in Ho Chi Minh
Address - 289 Hai Bà Trưng, Phường 8, Quận 3, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam
This beautiful Catholic church dated back to the 1870 and is usually known as the pink church due to its vibrant pink facade.
As it is an active church, the church may not open its door for you to view its interior. You can come during noon time to hear its bell. It can get very crowded during weekend too.

One of my favorite cities this 2022 was Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam 🇻🇳
It has amazing night life, amazing coffee shops and restaurants, good food, beautiful temples and this church was just special for me, I had the opportunity to go inside of it and pray for a while, and to go upstairs and see it from above, it was just beautiful and not so many tourist there.
I recommend that you go before noon, so you get better lighting for pictures and the sun isn't behind the cathedral.

Tan Dinh Pink Church
Tan Dinh church, or Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, has a bright pink tone and was built in a Romanian architectural style. Whoever passes by Tan Dinh catholic church will be impressed and drawn in by its beautiful pink tone.
When visiting Sai Gon, it would be a waste if you do not take the time to see this church. Tan Dinh church is a must-visit monumental Gothic architectural work here. This pink catholic church is regarded as the second biggest church after Notre Dame Cathedral in Ho Chi Minh city. The church's architecture is Roman in style, and the pink cover on the outside and inside makes it stand out. Its charming coloring has remained till now.
Tan Dinh Church is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City and is located in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City. The pink church Saigon is only 3 kilometers away from Ben Thanh Market, making it conveniently accessible from the city's major neighborhoods.

During my trip to Vietnam, what impressed me the most was the Sacred Heart of Jesus church in Ho Chi Minh City. From the inside out, this church is completely pink. This Catholic church was built in a French colony in the early 20th century. Its appearance is reminiscent of candy, desserts and ice cream. As I walked through this church, I felt like Alice in Wonderland!
LynnTang.
The church is extremely gorgeous and unique. Loved the exterior. Not too sure about the interior as the church was locked. Definitely worth going and would go back if given a chance. The church is closed from 12pm-2pm. However, there is a local market (Tan Dinh market) that one can visit while waiting.

Red orange yellow green blue blue purple, this is the color of the rainbow. Red represents warmth, unrestrained, purple represents honor, blue represents eternal, and pink represents cute, youthful. Imagine a church that should be solemnly decorated as a charming pink. What would it look like? In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, there is a Sacred Heart Church. The entire church is filled with pink and pink. It is this candy-like pink that makes this small church a favorite destination for every visitor to Ho Chi Minh City.
The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the second cathedral in Ho Chi Minh City. Established in the French colonial period in the early twentieth century. It has a history of more than 100 years. The charming pink makes this ancient church the most eye-catching building in Saigon. When we came to worship, we couldnt get in, we could only take pictures outside.

The girls heart beats the card, Ho Chi Minhs beautiful pink church
In my impression, Vietnam is an underdeveloped country, but the beauty of Ho Chi Minh City can make people ignore these economic factors. Ho Chi Minh City is located in the northeast of the Mekong Delta and has the title of Oriental Paris, which is also a famous port city in Southeast Asia. San Mao constantly describes the adventures and experiences encountered in the desert in her book. The location of the pink church in
Ho Chi Minh City is on a very unobtrusive street. The exterior of the church is pink. The design of the church must be a designer with a pink girl heart. But the interior of the castle is very delicate and beautiful, like a wedding church in a dream.
is also here anytime, anywhere, but it is not recommended to wear too many fancy clothes.
Liu Big Fish.
The girl's heart pink church, which is always in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is a pink church in the heart of Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is full of pink from the inside to the outside. It is really worth not to miss the tourist attraction in Vietnam. .
Sacred Heart Church is also known as the Pink Church, a Roman Catholic church located in Ho Chi Minh City, built in the early 20th century French colonial period. The pink exterior is very eye-catching, and the church is not only full-pink in appearance, but also decorated in pink in the interior, with daily mass.
is in this place, as if in a pink fairytale castle, satisfying the full girl's heart.
Nowadays, the photos of tourists have become more and more strict. Many areas have been blocked, and they are equipped with strict requirements and do not take too many props to shoot.
Photo: It is recommended to wear light-colored clothes, which will be very good with pink.
Be careful not to wear vest shorts exposed clothing, preferably trousers or long skirts, otherwise it will be driven out by the staff.

This pink church, which has fascinated countless girls, is also known as the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The church was built when the French colonized Vietnam in the early 20th century and has a history of more than 100 years.
1928 Frenchman Franois and Vietnamese wife Anne contributed to the Italian-style marble altar. In 1957 the church re-reinforced the pillars and painted it into an unforgettable pink.
Even after going to Europe to see countless churches, the first sight of the Sacred Heart of Jesus will be amazing. The entire church presents a dreamlike pink, and the sacred and solemn religion has become more gentle here, and is also captivated by the dazzling colors of the sun. The designer of this church must be very girlish.
Compared with Ho Chi Minh's famous red church, the pink church is rarely mentioned, so there are not many tourists here, most of them are girls with a girl's heart, and they are rushing to take pictures here~

So pretty
A touch of pink romance in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Yes, you read that right! This isn't France! This is the Pink Church in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Ho Chi Minh City is known as the "Paris of the East" for a reason. Many of the buildings here are full of French style, and it's easy to mistake them for being in France. The pink and tender Pink Church is a landmark building in Ho Chi Minh City. The history of this building can be traced back to when Vietnam was under French colonial rule. The church attracts tourists with its unique pink color. Many people come here to take photos. The church has opening hours, but when I went, it was not open, so I could only take photos outside the fence.
The best shooting point is the cafe opposite the church. There are several cafes opposite, all with outdoor terraces, which are very suitable for taking beautiful photos with coffee.
Ho Chi Minh City is worth visiting places such as the Central Post Office, Ho Chi Minh Museum of Fine Arts, Saigon Opera House and other buildings full of French style, don't miss it.
