Ho Chi Minh City Holidays

Bustling Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is fast catching up with Asia’s other cities in terms of development yet it still retains a French colonial flavour and a timeless quality. Alongside its colonial buildings and street markets you’ll find sleek new bars and pavement cafes and some of the most delicious food in Asia. From here you can visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, built by Vietcong as a place of refuge from the US forces during the Vietnam War, or take a day trip to the Mekong Delta for an insight into the local fishermen’s daily lives.
