The Best Of Ho Chi Minh City Full Day Tour
Joined 2025
Saigon, Vietnam's business and financial hub, has a rich history. Originally settled by the Khmers, it was taken over by the Vietnamese in the 17th century and later conquered by the French in 1859, becoming the capital of Cochin China in 1862. This led to the development of elegant architecture and broad boulevards still seen today. Saigon is known for its vibrant street life, historic sites, and warm climate, offering insights into local culture and daily life.
