Hồ Chí Minh

Ho Chi Minh City, or as it is often called intimately by the locals as Saigon, is one of the sought-after destinations while travelling in Vietnam

Located in the southern part, this is the biggest as well as the most populous city in the country. Once biased and recognized as the “Pearl of the Far East” during the Indochina era, Saigon of the modern times attracts people not for the spectacular natural landscapes but for its dynamic lifestyle – where endless options of activities are going to tie your heart. This metropolis city stands out among so many other major ones because, besides the rapidly developing aspects, it still remains a touch of French spirit in the architecture and the way of living. Acting as a transportation point, a religious center, and an entertainment hub, Ho Chi Minh City is absolutely a must-visit city for your journey of exploring.
