Introducing Ho Chi Minh City, Fodor’s Travel noted that as the centre of Vietnam’s economy and largest city, Ho Chi Minh City offers plenty to see and eat, from the buzzing of District 1 with its cultural attractions to all the street food in District 4.
Ho Chi Minh City is a gateway to Vietnam’s rich and turbulent history. “Preserved historic sights include the Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon, a neo-Romanesque and Gothic cathedral built by French colonists in the late 1800s; Cu Chi Tunnels, underground tunnels used by guerrilla troops; and the War Remnants Museum, an often-disturbing look at the atrocities of the decade-long war.”, the magazine added.
According to Fodor’s Travel, visitors to Ho Chi Minh City can enjoy food and drink at stylish rooftop bars and street-side cocktail carts alike. Visitors can also discover European-inflected fine dining or banh mi (bread) stalls and experience unparalleled coffee culture in hidden coffee shops.
The magazine suggests that visitors should go to Ben Thanh Market, which provides many unique products, walk along Saigon River or take a night-time cruise.
Ho Chi Minh City is always an attractive destination for domestic and foreign tourists. Most recently, Booking.com listed Ho Chi Minh City among its top 15 most searched destinations by global travellers for the New Year holidays.
In addition to Ho Chi Minh City, Fodor’s Travel also listed Bangladesh, Madhya Pradesh (India), Palawan (the Philippines) and Si Phan Don (Laos) among the top places to go in Asia in 2023.
