Why you'll love it
Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, is Vietnam's biggest and busiest city. It scores 9 out of 10 for food and value, and 8 for nightlife and remote work, so it's a high-energy city break where street food and rooftop bars are part of the experience.
The best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City is December to April, the dry season, with sunny days. The rainy season, from around May to November, usually brings short, heavy afternoon storms.
Visit the War Remnants Museum and the Independence Palace, then see the French-era Central Post Office. Ben Thanh Market and the backstreets of District 1 and District 3 are full of pho, banh mi and broken rice. Day trips run to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta.
Ho Chi Minh City suits food lovers, budget travellers and night owls.
