Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City, also best-known as Saigon, is typically the starting or ending point for most Mekong River Cruises. The largest city in Vietnam is a charming destination where all tourists’ interests are catered for; however, Mekong cruise itineraries usually include two days to discover the massive city. One to explore Saigon’s most popular attractions, such as the Reunification Palace, City Post Office, Municipal Theater, and City Hall, while the other is an excursion to the Cu Chi Tunnels outside of the center to learn some about the country’s glorious past through the wars. Make sure to spend time at the Ben Thanh Market for a glimpse of the local life.
