A fast-paced, energetic city that’s going through lots of changes, Ho Chi Minh City effortlessly blends history, tradition and culture with modern restaurants, trendy entertainment venues, and high fashion. The city’s streets are constantly busy, its roadside cafés are packed full, and locals and tourists alike stop at food stalls to savour some of the best cuisines in the region.

Tucked in amongst a rapidly changing skyline the city's history is still there for all to see.
