War Remnants Museum
To understand the US invasion of Vietnam, this remarkable and deeply moving museum is an essential visit. Many of the atrocities documented here are already well publicized, but it's rare to visit a museum such as this, where the victims of US military action are given the space to tell their side of the story.
1 hourThe Independence Palace
Vietnam's history has gone through thousands of years of civilization with many glorious periods. Up to now, all of them are still the traditional history of the nation, but there is still a remnant of the old resistance wars. And the resistance war entering the Independence Palace to liberate the country not only marked a big turning point for the whole country but also for the whole nation and its descendants for thousands of generations. That is the pride of every Vietnamese
1 hourSaigon Notre Dame Cathedral
All the original building materials were imported from France. Tiles have been carved with the words Guichard Carvin, Marseille St André France, stating the district in Marseille where the tiles were produced. Some tiles are carved with the words Wang-Tai Saigon. Many tiles have since been made in Saigon to replace the tiles that were damaged by the war. There are 56 glass squares supplied by the Lorin firm of Chartres, the French town famous for the 13th-century stained-glass windows of its cathedral. The cathedral foundation was designed to bear ten times the weight of the cathedral.
30 minutesCentral Post Office
The building was constructed when Vietnam was part of French Indochina in the late 19th century. It counts with Gothic, Renaissance and French influences. It was constructed between 1886 and 1891 and is now a tourist attraction.
