Looking for things to do in Saigon Vietnam? Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) still hums with motorbikes streaming along colonial boulevards and the sweet taste of iced coffee with condensed milk. But older guidebooks won’t tell you the whole story. Since December 2024, the city’s first metro line has offered rides for pocket change, and in July 2025, the old administrative districts were abolished. After almost fifty years, the historic name S\u00e0i G\u00f2n has returned to official addresses<\/strong> as the name of a central ward (a ward, or ph\u01b0\u1eddng in Vietnamese, is an administrative unit within the city). Since August 2025, visitors of several eligible nationalities have also been able to travel here for tourism for up to 45 days without a visa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article covers 22 things to see and do in Saigon and the surrounding area<\/strong>, from the Reunification Palace, War Remnants Museum, B\u1ebfn Th\u00e0nh Market and Ch\u1ee3 L\u1edbn Chinatown to trips to the C\u1ee7 Chi tunnels and the Mekong Delta. First, you’ll find the latest practical updates: new ward names, the metro and visa-free entry. Bear in mind that Notre-Dame Cathedral can only be viewed from outside while restoration work continues. And if you don’t eat meat, you’ll be pleased to know that Ho Chi Minh City has plenty of entirely vegetarian restaurants<\/strong>, identified by the word chay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
