Ho Chi Minh City
When it comes to the best places to visit in Vietnam, the country's largest city, Ho Chi Minh City, cannot be overlooked.
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is the country's most developed and chaotic city, dubbed the "Pearl of the Far East" in the past. Despite its lack of natural resources, Saigon offers a diverse range of street food and nightlife activities.
If you have a thirst for knowledge, there is a list of museums and galleries scattered throughout the city that you can visit while also exploring the city.
Chinatown is also the heart of the vibrant city, with century-old temples and shops where you can unwind after a day of hard play. The phrase "Saigon has it all" is not an exaggeration.
The weather in Ho Chi Minh City has only two seasons, unlike Hanoi, which has four: rainy and dry. May to November is the rainy season. In general, you can visit Ho Chi Minh City at any time of year, but the rainy season is the city's most beautiful.
