Exploring Saigon - Food, War Remnants Museum, & Ben Thanh Market
In this Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) travel and food vlog, get ready for lots of delicious food, and some of attractions in the city. More coming here:
I was attempting to go to the extremely famous Bánh Mì Huỳnh Hoa (Banh Mi Huynh Hoa), but somehow I missed that they were only open beginning in the afternoon, so instead I found another banh mi restaurant called Bánh Mì Hồng Hoa, which actually proved to be one of my favorite versions of the trip (I did end up going to Bánh Mì Huỳnh Hoa (Banh Mi Huynh Hoa) another time, so another video about that coming soon). But anyway, I ordered the normal special banh mi, a Vietnamese sandwich stuffed into a crusty baguette, and it was incredibly good. The bread was crusty and fresh, and they included just the right amount of toppings and ratio of ingredients. Happy full of the banh mi for breakfast, we then continued walking, and next stopped for a cup of Vietnamese coffee, which always hits the spot.
One of my goals for visiting Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), was to film a video about the top things to do, the attractions of the city. So after we ate breakfast, we then took a walk over to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, sort of in the main center of Saigon. The cathedral is a beautiful structure, and I did some filming and videos of both inside and outside the church. Right across the road from Notre Dame in Saigon is the Saigon Post Office, which I had actually visited the day before.
Next stop, we headed to the War Remnants Museum of Saigon, a museum in the central area of the city that showcases displays of mostly photography depicting the horrible acts and results of the Vietnam War. It definitely wasn’t a light museum, and nor was it much fun to visit, but it did offer a glimpse into the terrible events. After the museum, we then went to Tao Dan Park, which is located just across the street, where we just walked around.
After doing some sightseeing in Saigon, we were pretty hot and hungry, so walking around, we found a small restaurant, called Com Tam 77 to stop for lunch. The restaurant was located just on the outside of Tao Dan Park, not far from the Reunification Palace. I ordered one of the most popular Saigon Vietnamese dishes, a dish known as com tam suon, broken rice topped with a grilled pork chop, and an optional, but highly delicious fried egg on the top. The meal was very tasty, and it truly hit the spot.
After lunch, we headed back to the hotel, as the sun was beating down, and it looked like it would rain. I had a chance to do some work, and write some articles and edit some videos, and then we came out again to explore at around 4 pm when it was much cooler. We headed back to Ben Thanh Market, the central main market of the city, before moving outside, walking around for a bit more, and then finally finishing the great day off with a meal at a kind of chain restaurant in Saigon known as Pho Hung. It was nice to get some AC and cool off, and I have to admit that my bowl of pho bo, or Vietnamese beef pho was actually quite good.
I hope you enjoyed this video blog about traveling, eating, and visiting some attractions in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam. Please give it a thumbs up, and I would really be grateful if you would share this video with a friend!

When I was in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), along with eating as much Vietnamese food as I could, one of my goals was to film a travel video about some of the best things to do in Saigon. After putting together a complete list, it turned out to be 23, and I hope this list of attractions will help and inspire you to visit Vietnam’s largest and most exciting city.
1. Binh Tay Market - Binh Tay Market is one of the largest wholesale distribution markets, and a perfect place to go if you’re looking to go shopping in Ho Chi Minh City.
2. Thien Hau Temple (Pagoda) - Located in Chinatown, in District 5, the temple is dedicated to Thien Hau and I really loved the sculptures and the elaborate design of the temple.
3. Museum of Ho Chi Minh City - This museum offers a glimpse into the history and development of the city and Vietnam.
4. Bitexco Financial Tower - This is the tallest building in Saigon, and you can either go to the Skydeck or a cafe at the top for a view of the city.
5. Independence Palace (Reunification Palace) - Probably one of the most well known tourism things to do in Saigon is to visit the Independence Palace, the the former home of the president of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
6. Saigon Cathedral of Notre Dame - With the French influence in Vietnam, the Notre Dame cathedral is a beautiful Catholic church. Attend a service or just visit.
7. Central Post Office - Designed by Gustave Eiffel, the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is an attraction mainly for its design and architecture. It’s a beautiful building.
8. War Remnants Museum - Although this is not one of the happiest attractions in Saigon, it’s a place to remember and honor the horrible events that are a result of a war.
9. Opera House - Right in Dong Khoi area, and there are still opera shows available.
10. Dong Khoi Street - This is the height of high end shopping in Saigon.
11. Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens - The zoo itself is not too great, but the beauty of the Saigon zoo is the botanical gardens, and the lush gardens, and taking a break from the city.
12. FITO Museum (Museum of Traditional Vietnamese Medicine) - I was quite impressed by the Vietnamese medicine private museum - very interactive and educational.
13. San Art Laboratory – If you love modern art, the San Art Laboratory is a great place to see and visit in Saigon.
14. Turtle Lake at Night - If you’re looking for some things to do at night in Saigon, head to Turtle Lake to chill out, relax, hang out with friends, and eat snacks.
15. Ben Thanh Market - One of the most famous things to do in Saigon District 1 is visit the Ben Thanh Market, one of the major central landmarks of the city.
16. Phu My Hung and Starlight Bridge - Located outside of central Ho Chi Minh City, Phu My Hung is a modern development, and a great place to walk around.
17. Water Puppet Show - Though originally from the north of Vietnam, water puppet shows are popular also in Saigon. I went to the Golden Dragon Water Puppet theater.
18. Museum of Vietnamese History - Probably one of the most extensive and important museum showing the history of Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.
19. Rooftop Bar - Seeing Saigon from above offers a great perspective.
20. Fine Arts Museum - This was my favorite of all the museums in Saigon. The museum is housed in a well preserved building, and the art is amazing - located right in District 1 across the roundabout from Ben Thanh Market.
21. Jade Emperor Pagoda - Dedicated to the Jade Emperor, the pagoda has a real ancient feel to it, and it’s worth seeing when you visit.
22. Local Wet Market - One of my favorite things to do is visit a local fresh wet market, which you’ll find all over the city. The ingredients, food, and culture, all stand out at fresh markets.
23. Vietnamese Street Food - By my ultimate favorite activity in Saigon is eating street food, and there are an abundance of delicious Vietnamese street foods to sample.
Thank you for watching this video about the top 23 things to do in Saigon, Vietnam. I hope it has given you some great ideas to help you plan your visit.

Top 11 Things to do in SAIGON (Ho Chi Minh) VIETNAM

During our time in Saigon, Vietnam, we compiled a list of 11 Top things to do in Saigon. We hope it'll give you some ideas of fun things to do and must-visit places in Ho Chi Minh.

You're not allowed to take photos or video the performance but we reached out to the team and were granted a special backstage sneak peak for our channel (with permission to film) before watching the full performance that night. Make sure you check when the sessions are beforehand. You can pick up your tickets from the Saigon Opera House rather than buy it online too.

Saigon Bến Thành Market complete movie
travel videos & photos at: with text, maps & links.
Bến Thành Market, the biggest market in Saigon. More than 3,000 stalls are roughly grouped into products of different kinds, mostly clothing but also food, hardware, shoes, bags, jewelry, lacquerware, ceramics, souvenirs, and much more. Yes it is a little bit more touristic than a true local market, but because it's touristic, the friendly sales clerks here in the market speak a little bit of English, which is a real advantage for the visitor.
Of course you must bargain, so you want to do some price comparison -- one stall might sell T-shirts for $5 and another could be selling them for $2. Nearly all the clothing is manufactured in Vietnam so you know you're getting a good deal.
Everything in this market is negotiable you don't want to pay the list price. Get them down at least 20% may be 30, 40% or more if you're buying in volume, and they don't mind if you are offering a lowball offer, that's okay, it's all part of the game here, part of the sport. Just keep your eyes open, have a chat, keep strolling -- there is much to see and it is so very colorful. This is an expanded version of an earlier movie about the market.
Watch This Video Before Visiting Cu Chi Tunnels & War Remnants Museum | Vietnam
Welcome to my Vietnam travel guide! In this episode, I'll take you to two incredible historical sites in Ho Chi Minh City: the Cu Chi Tunnels and the War Remnants Museum.
The #CuChiTunnels hold immense significance as a strategic base during the Vietnam War. Crawling through these narrow tunnels gave me a firsthand experience of the challenges faced by soldiers and civilians. I highly recommend joining a smaller group for a more immersive tour.
Visiting the #WarRemnantsMuseum was a heartbreaking experience. The photographs and exhibits vividly depict the harsh realities of the war. It's a must-visit to gain a deeper understanding of #Vietnam's history.
After a day of exploration, I treated myself to a delicious cotton sandwich and a refreshing cooler. It was the perfect way to end the day.

Vietnam's Most Expensive Street Food ???????? Ben Thanh Market
Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City / Saigon: the street food is a key component to every travel to Vietnam. Therefore, on my last night, I decided to go out there and try all the food that I missed during my days there.
I tried 4 different types of street food, some were delicious, others they didn't convince me much. But food and especially street food is part of the culture, it's part of traveling, and therefore even if some tastes - at least for me - they weren't great, I'm happy to have tried everything.
By the way, this is the most expensive street food I tried in Vietnam. By expensive I know that people will think about lots of money, but actually, it was less than $5. For sure it is expensive for the locals.

BEN THANH MARKET, HO CHI MINH CITY ATTRACTIONS
Located in the city center, Ben Thanh Market has long been a symbol of Ho Chi Minh City. Not only is it home to trading, the market has become a historical witness looking on at numerous ups and downs of the city throughout nearly a hundred years.
Ben Thanh Market has existed for a long time even before the French arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, also popularly known as Saigon. The market was initially situated along Ben Nghe River, near Gia Dinh Citadel. It is the reason why it was called Ben Thanh Market. In 1911, the French colonial government decided to relocate the market to the position seen as today. The market was started its construction in 1912 and finished at the end of March 1914. Ben Thanh Market has been held so far. Ben Thanh Market today has become one of the must-see tourist sites in Ho Chi Minh City travel. Tourists to the market not only purchase goods or souvenirs but also have a chance to find particular images and characteristics shown in daily activities of the inhabitants in the city.
