Things to do in Ho Chi Minh City

Located at the top of Ho Chi Minh City’s tallest building, the Saigon Skydeck has an amazing view over the city. The observation deck has floor to ceiling glass windows, giving you an uninterrupted view of Ho Chi Minh City and the Song Sai Gon River. The Saigon Skydeck is located within the Bitexco Financial Building right in the city centre. It is open from 9:30AM-9:30PM, and tickets cost 200,000 VND (about $11.60).

Learn About the Vietnam War from a Vietnamese Perspective

The biggest event to take place in Vietnam during the 20th century was the Vietnam War. There are several places around Ho Chi Minh City where you can learn about the events of the war and get a feel for what life was like in Vietnam during that time. The Cu Chi Tunnels are located outside of the city and make for an interesting day trip. They are one of the many networks of tunnels that were built underground in Vietnam during the war. The tunnels served as a hiding spot for soldiers as well as a way to transport injured soldiers, food, and supplies. Today, you can crawl through the narrow tunnels and see some of the booby traps and weapons that were used during the war.
To learn about the war without leaving the city, pay a visit to the War Remnants Museum. At the museum, you can learn all about the war and see military equipment used in the war, including a helicopter, a fighter jet, a military tank, and various weapons.

Ben Thanh Market

Vietnam is known for its great markets and street food. The best place to experience these in Ho Chi Minh City is at the Ben Thanh Market. The market is full of hawker-style restaurants and food stalls where you can try some delicious Vietnamese food. Some must-try foods in Vietnam are pho, banh mi, and goi cuon. Ben Thanh Market is also a great place to buy souvenirs and local arts and crafts. The atmosphere of the market is authentically Vietnamese and will keep you coming back several times throughout your trip!

Mekong River Delta

Located south of Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong River Delta makes for a great day trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Throughout the Delta, you can take boat rides along the river, surrounded by lush green trees and plants. The region is so peaceful and a completely different side to Vietnam than what you experience in the city. While visiting the Mekong River Delta, be sure to check out the Can Tho floating markets. The markets are made up of vendors selling fresh food and local crafts from their boat. Take a boat ride through the markets for a truly Vietnamese experience.

Experience the City’s French Influence

During the 1800’s, Vietnam was a colony of France called French Indochina. French missionaries were sent to the region, and French culture heavily influenced Vietnam during this time. In 1945, then-President Ho Chi Minh, declared Vietnam’s independence from France. While Vietnam has been independent for more than 70 years, there is still a lot of French influence that you can see throughout Ho Chi Minh City. Saigon Central Post Office and Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral were both built in a French style and are an interesting contrast to the Vietnamese architecture around them. The French influence gives Ho Chi Minh City a unique and European feel.

Reunification Palace

Located right in the city centre, this palace was the home of the President of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The palace is known as the place where the Vietnam War officially came to an end in 1975. The leaders of North Vietnam and South Vietnam met here to sign negotiations and reunify Vietnam into one nation. Inside, the palace has barely changed since that historic date several decades ago. There are five levels to the palace where you can experience war tunnels, the war command room, propaganda materials, and even a casino.

Tao Dan Park

For a quiet escape from busy Ho Chi Minh City, spend some time in Tao Dan Park right in the city centre. The park is full of tropical Vietnamese trees and plants. A sculpture garden makes up one section of the park and is full of interesting things to see. Tao Dan Park makes the perfect spot for a picnic lunch or a relaxing walk.

When should you plan a trip from Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City?

Vietnam is located in the tropics, so it has two seasons—wet and dry. The wet season lasts from May to November. During this time, the weather is very humid, and it rains almost every day. The best time to book flights Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City is during the dry season between December and April. If you travel from Sydney to Ho Chi Minh at this time, you’ll experience hot weather, but with moderate humidity and little rain.
Be aware that the Lunar New Year takes place from late January to mid-February. Ho Chi Minh City is full of celebrations during Lunar New Year, so it can be an exciting holiday to experience. However, many shops are closed during the holiday and the city is packed, so visiting during this time isn’t for everyone. 

Departing from Sydney

Sydney Airport is conveniently located just 7 km south of the CBD, making it easy to get to. About 70 flights Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City depart each day, giving you lots of options to choose from. As one of the main airports in Australia, Sydney Airport has a variety of airlines with Sydney to Ho Chi Minh flights, including Qantas, Air Asia, Jetstar, and Scoot.

Getting to Sydney Airport (SYD)

Sydney Airport (also called Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport) offers several transport options that satisfy every budget. The most affordable way to get from Sydney to the airport is to catch the Airport Link train. Airport Link departs from several different train stations around Sydney, including Central Station, Wynyard, Bondi Beach, and Darling Harbour. You can even catch a train from outer suburbs, such as Wollongong. Train times and prices vary by departure point. Trains from the CBD only take about 15 minutes, while trains from Bondi take about 45 minutes. CBD train tickets are $18.70, and Bondi tickets are $19.70. You can purchase individual tickets or pay with your Opal Card.

With the airport being so close to the CBD, taking a taxi or Uber is also a good option to get to the airport quickly. A taxi ride from the CBD takes about 20 minutes and costs about $45-$60. If you’re travelling from Bondi, you’ll have a similar fare between $45-$65 and a ride taking less than a half hour.

Parking at Sydney Airport

The most budget-friendly option for parking at Sydney Airport is at the Blu Emu car park. Blu Emu offers a free 24 hour shuttle service between the car park and the Domestic Terminal. The shuttle takes about 15 minutes and runs every 15-30 minutes. From the Domestic Terminal, you can catch a free train to the International Terminal, which runs from 5AM-midnight. The Blu Emu car park costs about $30 per day to park, but by booking in advance, you can get even better rates.

For quick and direct access to the International Terminal, the P7 car park is your best option. The car park is only a 5-minute walk from the International Terminal and offers covered parking. When you book in advance, the P7 car park costs about $55 per day to park. Nice and convenient for a short visit from Sydney to Ho Chi Minh.

 

Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City’s airport is located 6 km north of the city centre and is the main airport for travellers visiting Vietnam. Sydney to Ho Chi Minh flights arrive in Terminal 2—the International Terminal. Ho Chi Minh City is broken up into different districts. The city centre is District 1 and is where most of the city’s hotels are located. There are several quick, easy, and inexpensive methods to travel from the airport to the city centre.

Getting to Central Ho Chi Minh City from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN)

The cheapest way to get from the airport to Ho Chi Minh District 1 is to take a shuttle bus. Look for a yellow bus with the number 109 or 49 on it. Both buses travel from the airport into the city centre. Buses come every 20-30 minutes and run from 5:30AM-1AM. The difference between the two buses is that the 109 bus has designated stops in the city centre and the 49 bus takes you directly to your hotel. The 109 bus stops include Pham Hong Thai, Ben Thanh Bus Station, and 23/9 Park. Tickets for the 109 shuttle bus cost 20,000 VND (about $1.15). Since the 49 bus takes you directly to your hotel, the ticket price is a little more, but is still an affordable 40,000 VND.

With the airport being so close to the city centre, a taxi is a quick and affordable way to get to your hotel. A taxi ride from the airport to District 1 takes just over 20 minutes and costs between 125,000 to 160,000 VND.
