- Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral - Originally established by French colonists and initially named the Church of Saigon (French: l’Eglise de Saïgon), the cathedral was built between 1863 and 1880. It has been known as Notre-Dame Cathedral since 1959 and features two bell towers, each standing 58 meters (190 feet) tall.
Please note: The Notre Dame Cathedral is currently under restoration, so guests can only visit the exterior.
- Central Post Office - The Ho Chi Minh City Post Office, also known as the Saigon Central Post Office (Vietnamese: Bưu điện Trung tâm Sài Gòn, French: Poste centrale de Saïgon), is located in downtown Ho Chi Minh City, near the Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica. This building was constructed during the late 19th century when Vietnam was part of French Indochina.

During the journey, enjoy a unique view of the city’s most notable commercial buildings, including the Vinhomes Central Park urban area, the magnificent Landmark 81 tower, the Bitexco Financial Tower, and the serene District 2.
