Bình Quới Tourist Village

Just 20 minutes east of District 1, traffic gives way to waterside cafes, bars and restaurants. One of the best is the Binh Quoi Village run by Saigon Tourist. Situated at the end of the road just before the ferry jetty, the village is jacketed in coconut trees while the traditional thatched huts will transport visitors to a historical time. The village also has a small pool and tennis courts for hire. The floating restaurant, with set menus featuring crab and snails, makes a great setting to watch boats go by as the sun drops over the Saigon River.

Independence Palace

In 1975, a North Vietnamese Army tank struck through the wrought-iron gates of what was then the symbol of the South Vietnamese government, signifying the end of the Vietnam War. Much like that tank, now enshrined by the site's entrance, the Independence Palace is practically frozen in time. Once the workplace and abode of French Governor Cochin-China, this onetime presidential home is where history lingers everywhere, from across the basement and the former command center to the rooftop terrace and its accompanying helipad. Set against a well-preserved backdrop, this palatial edifice is like a canopy of immortal history which is illustrated with the help of opulent rooms laden with vintage furniture, telecommunications equipment and a certain sense of '60s kitsch along the way. Featuring a tapestry of tunnels and other war memorabilia including two original tanks used in the war, the palace is ornamented with lush, vibrant gardens which enliven its otherwise aged persona. Insightful strands from the video presentation of Vietnamese history pervade the palace's crevices which are steeped in profound, long-standing antiquity.

Ho Chi Minh City Museum

Delve into the history and traditions of Vietnam at the Ho Chi Minh City Museum. Built in 1885, the neoclassical building has served as the residence of a number of notable political figures, including President Diem who used the bunkers and tunnels hidden beneath the museum as a refuge before escaping to Cha Tam Church. The museum itself is an architectural gem, and worth a visit for this reason alone. Archaeological remains, art and artifacts illustrate the story of Vietnam across two floors, with much emphasis on the country's struggle for independence, while the historic artifacts spread across the garden are sure to be of special interest to those with a penchant for military history. A traditional museum in every way, the Ho Chi Minh City Museum is a fine place to contemplate the country's storied past.

Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens

The Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens are worth a visit especially if you are touring Ho Chi Minh with your little ones. This verdant space is home to varied plant and animal life. It is a great spot to educate children about nature and wildlife. Over 120 species of animals call the Botanical Gardens & Zoo their home. These include elephants, bears, orangutans, tigers, lions, giraffes, porcupines and many more. The botanical garden conserves over 30 cacti species in addition to the bonsai. Flowering plants and towering trees add to your visual treat throughout the excursion.

Mekong Eyes Cruise - Mekong One Day Tour

A well-known tour operator based in Ho Chi Minh, Mekong Eyes specializes in boat and cruise trips, taking you around various scenic spots on the city's beautiful coastline. Glide through the scenic waters of the Song Sai Gon river and explore the city's natural, cultural and architectural beauty like you've never had. Their fleet is impressive, featuring mainly traditionally-designed vessels that are manned by their crew who ensure that your journey is enjoyable and memorable.

Tao Dan

Tao Dan is one of the most attractive outdoor spaces for kids and families, who wish to spend some quality time, together. The scenic park spans around 10 hectares (24.7105 acres), featuring avenues of tress like flame trees and So khi trees. There are benches lined out for the elderly and a vast ground for kids. For budding ornithologists, the park serves to be a great spotting place for migratory birds. With so much to offer, Tao Dan calls for a must, to those who visit the city.
