The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh is a beautifully preserved remnant of French colonial times and perhaps the grandest post office in all of Southeast Asia. Located next door to Notre Dame Cathedral, the two cultural sites can be visited together and offers visitors a chance to imagine life in Vietnam during the times of the Indochinese Empire. The building was designed by Alfred Foulhoux and features arched windows and wooden shutters, just as it would have in its heyday in the late 19th Century.

Reunification Palace was the base of Vietnamese General Ngo Dinh Diem until his death in 1963. It made its name in global history in 1975. A tank belonging to the North Vietnamese Army crashed through its main gate, ending the Vietnam War. Today, it's a must-visit for tourists in Ho Chi Minh City. The palace is like a time capsule frozen in 1975. You can see two of the original tanks used in the capture of the palace parked in the grounds. Reunification Palace was the home and workplace of the French Governor of Cochin-China. It has lush gardens, secret rooms, antique furniture, and a command bunker. It's still in use to host important occasions in Ho Chi Minh, including APEC summits.

Food scene

Undeniably, one of the most famous street food stalls in all of Saigon is the legendary Lunch Lady. This incredible place is just 15 mt. from Little Saigonese Star Anthony Bourdain, on his show No Reservations, ate at the Lunch Lady and loved everything from the noodles to the atmosphere, and he has undoubtedly boosted the street food stalls fame and popularity. But along with Anthony Bourdain, the Lunch Lady was and still is famous for locals in the neighborhood. GENERAL INFO: The menu changes every day Ask the price of the different dishes before you order it ;)

An open air bbq beer hall that serves serious American foods. Craving some tender Tennessee BBQ ribs and burgers? Some bourbon oyster shots and buffalo wings perhaps? Wide selections of local microbrewery beers? This is the place to be if you're in the meat feast mode. (not the other kind of meat feast). Best to go at night. It's a bit too warm for lunch.

If you're looking for a nice authentic Vietnamese meal but with a slightly hip and modern vibe. Check this place out. Tucked all the way on a rooftop of an old building (inside an alley), Mountain Retreat is definitely worth the 4 storeys climb.
