Decent Premier Inn. Fantastic value for money and very comfy mattress/douvet/pillows. My wife has dirty pillows so this made a welcome change. Lots of Stag Doo scum at weekends
Good standard Italian food with friendly and welcoming service. This place doesn't get busy for no reason. Decent lasagne and good pizza
Beautiful building. Be aware of the "shoe fixers" hanging around who will start work on your footwear without asking
Great place for a sundown cocktail to start the evening. Great views and nice and peaceful - a stark contrast from most of the rest of the city #mayhem
Beautiful building designed by Eiffel. Main ceiling cove looks stunning along with the old maps and phone booths. Still a working post office! Sweet spot by the entrance for air con/breeze
Beautiful building with a nice garden in front. Go there first for a snap with Big Ho. Zoom in to the top of the building and you'll see flocks of pigeons near the top with encrusted bird muck!
Absolutely bizarre to find such a nice catholic cathedral in such a prominent position in Ho Cho Minh. You can get some great photos at sundown. Building open to all.
Great location. Fantastic iced drinks! Slow service but the outdoor seating and view of the cathedral make it a great place to watch the world go by
The outside "tower" is fascinating but photos obscured by overhead cables. Inside is quite tacky but again so interesting in terms of what people actually worship.
Beware of pickpockets. Good market with a lot of genuinely nice people. Don't forget to haggle to at least 50% under starting price
Attentive service - didn't go for tepinyaki but perhaps should've. Good food but not amazing. Very expensive for what u get - clearly aimed at tourists.
Fruit ice drinks made with flavored powder rather than fresh fruit. Still tastes good!
Very peaceful place. This is where the burning monk on Rage Against The Machine's debut album actually happened. Check opening times as you will only get to see Buddha through a window
One of the most thought provoking places I've ever been. Higher floors aren't for the feint-hearted. The effects of Agent Orange will sicken and shock you. Humans can be so evil and cruel
Go early in the morning to avoid bad weather/smog. Very expensive entrance fee for little other than a view.
Stunning architecture. Housing many of the big name western retail shops including Adidas. Take a trip to the viewing deck on 49th floor (note the separate entrance!)
Very difficult to find! I would recommend taking a taxi. Worth the visit though for the interesting interiors
Small but beautiful pagoda. Watch out for ash dropping from the burning incense above. Check out the rest of the Cholin District for 3 other pagodas in a short walking distance
Nice pagoda. Thiên Hậu is worshipped in the seafaring Chinese communities of Fujian, Guangzhou, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. She is not specifically a deity of Taoism or Buddhism,
The temple is more accurately a guildhall (Hoi Quan), built in the early 19th century by Chinese from Yian (Nghia An) in China's Guandong Province
Good traditional Vietnamese. Dishes come with lots of fresh herbs. Small restaurant
Eating and drinking with the locals on tiny plastic chairs- no westerners in sight. Rock bottom prices- the real Ho Chi Minh
The church was inaugurated in May 1928 and was dedicated to Jeanne d'Arc (St. Joan of Arc). A statue of her can be seen above the entrance. Locally, the church is known as Nga Sau
Very good and authentic Chinese restaurant. A few interesting menu choices worth considering rather than sticking to what u know
