About Ho Chi Minh City

A group of travellers having a great time on a motor scooter tour around Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, still called Saigon by many, is Vietnam’s business hub. But hidden among the skyscrapers you’ll find pagodas, gardens, cafes, markets, old mansions, cocktail bars and a whoooole lot of amazing food – you just need to know where to look. Learn how the traffic somehow works as you zip through tree-lined boulevards and narrow alleys on the back of a Vespa. Taste your way around the city, sampling Saigonese coffee, char siu, hu tieu bo and more. Or slow down a notch in the Mekong Delta for a glimpse into rural life.
