• Cu Chi Tunnels - Upon arrival at the Cu Chi Tunnels, the tour guide will provide an introductory overview of the tunnels and their legendary history. Enjoy the picturesque drive northwest towards the Cambodian border. Explore a section of the extensive 125-mile (200-kilometer) network of underground passages and rooms. Upon reaching the Cu Chi Tunnels, watch a short documentary film that explains the history of the tunnels and the intensity of the war. The tour guide will then demonstrate the crucial role they played in the war, including trap doors, and allow visitors to enter and see where the Viet Cong constructed storage facilities, weapons factories, and kitchens. Afterward, travelers can sample local specialties such as rice tapioca and hot tea, which were staple foods in Cu Chi during the war. Visitors also have the opportunity to fire an AK47, MK16, or machine guns at the nearby shooting range (not included, participation at own expense and risk).

• Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral - Visit the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Saigon Old Post Office. Designed by Gustave Eiffel and constructed between 1877 and 1883, the Post Office is a true reflection of classical French colonial architecture. Conclude the day with some shopping at the Ben Thanh Market, a popular tourist destination known for its rich history and prime location. It offers a wide variety of goods, from faux Nike shoes to exquisite silk Ao Dai. Afterward, return to the port in ample time for cruising.

• Central Post Office - The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh is a beautifully preserved relic of French colonial times and is perhaps the grandest post office in all of Southeast Asia. Situated next to Notre Dame Cathedral, these two cultural sites can be visited together, offering visitors a glimpse into life in Vietnam during the Indochinese Empire. Designed by Alfred Foulhoux, the building features arched windows and wooden shutters, just as it did in its prime in the late 19th century.

• War Remnants Museum - The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City opened to the public in 1975. Formerly known as the ‘Museum of American War Crimes,’ it serves as a stark reminder of the long and brutal Vietnam War. Graphic photographs and American military equipment are on display, including a helicopter with rocket launchers, a tank, a fighter plane, and a single-seater attack aircraft. Visitors can also see a conventional bomb weighing 6,800kg. These weapons were used by American troops against the Vietnamese between 1945 and 1975.

• Saigon Opera House (Ho Chi Minh Municipal Theater) - The Saigon Opera House in Ho Chi Minh is an elegant colonial building located at the intersection of Le Loi and Dong Khoi Street in District 1, near the famous Notre Dame Cathedral and the classic Central Post Office. The restored three-story, 800-seat Opera House was built in 1897 and hosts not only opera but also a wide range of performing arts, including ballet, musical concerts, Vietnamese traditional dance, and plays. Performances are advertised around the building, and information can be found at the state-operated tourist information center nearby.

• People’s Committee Building - The People’s Committee Building in central Ho Chi Minh City showcases well-preserved French colonial architecture within a spacious garden setting. Originally built as a hotel in 1898 by French architect Gardes, it now functions as a city hall and is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Located at the end of Nguyen Hue walking promenade, it features three buildings with embossed statues of animals and people, intricate bas-reliefs on the walls, and a statue of Ho Chi Minh in front of the main building. The best time to visit is in the evening when these features are beautifully illuminated with LED lights.

• The Independence Palace - Independence Palace served as the base for Vietnamese General Ngo Dinh Diem until his death in 1963. It gained global recognition in 1975 when a tank from the North Vietnamese Army crashed through its main gate, marking the end of the Vietnam War. Today, it is a must-visit for tourists in Ho Chi Minh City. The palace is like a time capsule from 1975, with two of the original tanks used in the capture of the palace parked on the grounds. Independence Palace was the residence and workplace of the French Governor of Cochin-China. It features lush gardens, secret rooms, antique furniture, and a command bunker. It continues to host important events in Ho Chi Minh, including APEC summits.
