2-Day Adventure in Ho Chi Minh City Itinerary

Start your day with a visit to the War Remnants Museum (Bao Tang Chung Tich Chien Tranh). This museum offers a sobering look at the Vietnam War through exhibits of photographs, artifacts, and personal accounts. It's an important stop to understand the history and impact of the war on Vietnam. Afterward, head to Hoa Tuc for a delightful breakfast. This restaurant is known for its beautiful colonial architecture and delicious Vietnamese cuisine.

In the afternoon, explore the Reunification Palace (Independence Palace). This historic building was the site of the end of the Vietnam War when a North Vietnamese Army tank crashed through its gates in 1975. The palace is preserved almost exactly as it was on that fateful day. For lunch, enjoy a meal at Secret Garden Home-cooked Vietnamese Restaurant, which offers authentic Vietnamese dishes in a charming rooftop setting.

End your day with a visit to the Bitexco Financial Tower and its Saigon Skydeck. The observation deck provides stunning panoramic views of Ho Chi Minh City, especially beautiful at sunset. For dinner, dine at Sorae Restaurant & Lounge, which offers exquisite Japanese cuisine along with breathtaking views from its high-rise location.
