If you’re taking a trip to Vietnam<\/a> and plan to spend some time touring Saigon, we have some suggestions for you.<\/h2>\n

Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City as it\u2019s known by many, is a city of contrasts; French colonial architecture, sparkling skyscrapers, incense-infused temples and remnants of war coexist alongside each other. Its frenzied streets \u2013 home to an ever-flowing stream of motorbikes, bustling markets and vendors peddling street food might seem a little overwhelming at first, but beyond the chaos, this exciting city has a plethora of things for visitors to see and do when touring Saigon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

HERE\u2019S HOW TO SPEND THE PERFECT 48 HOURS TOURING SAIGON\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Day One Touring Saigon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

MORNING<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Start your morning touring Saigon<\/a> with a visit to the French-style Central Post Office, built by architect Gustave Eiffel. A short walk away, you\u2019ll find Cong Vien Van Hoa Park; cool off under the trees with an iced coffee from one of the street vendors \u2013 a popular choice with the locals. Stroll through the park to the 1960\u2019s-built Reunification Palace, the former presidential home of South Vietnam.<\/p>\n
