Unusual Things to Do in Ho Chi Minh City

Once known as Saigon, today Ho Chi Minh City is renowned as the country’s metropolitan city, filled with skyscrapers, rooftop views, and urban-cool activities. However, a trip to the south of Vietnam isn’t without its plethora of cultural things to do in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), and an entire day can fly past spent exploring its many churches, temples, pagodas and other worship grounds. Not to mention, there are many museums to visit to suit everyone’s tastes, from the War Remnants Museum to more traditional museums exploring the arts and culture. Take a street food tour, read a book and unwind at a trendy cafe or enjoy a picnic in one of the city’s parks. If you’ve shopped all the day (and night) markets, and explored the various Walking Streets and city districts, there are dozens are fabulous day trips to enjoy just an hour or two from HCMC. The most famous is a visit to the Mekong Delta or the Cu Chi Tunnels. End your evenings off with a fine-dining experience, or grab a craft cocktail at a rooftop bar. #awesomepic#couplestrip#deliciousfood#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#christmasmarket#foodphotography
