Ho Chi Minh City Holidays

Step onto the streets on Ho Chi Minh City holidays and you can't help but be swept up into the electric atmosphere. Ho Chi Minh City is a city of juxtapositions; skyscrapers tower over ramshackle markets, canals and rivers criss-cross labyrinthine streets and the wide Song Sai Gon River (hence the former name Saigon) curves around its edge. Anyone embarking on a trip to Vietnam should have Ho Chi Minh City high on their hit list - and expect to leave dizzy with love for this vibrant and varied city.

"Thoughtful, professional and listened to our requirements and delivered. Faultless in every respect from hotels, excursions, guides, food recommendations etc. The Concierge was responsive, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. All memorable - the motorcycle trip around Hanoi was probably the highlight."

What can you find in Ho Chi Minh City that you won't find anywhere else?

Formerly Saigon, the city was renamed in honour of the revolutionary Communist leader Ho Chi Minh in 1976 following the reunification of the country and the end of the Vietnam War, though the city had been a busy commercial centre long before that. Due to its turbulent history, Ho Chi Minh is also a blend of the various cultures and architectural styles - Vietnamese, Chinese and European - that have influenced the area over time.

While on your Ho Chi Minh City holidays, make sure you do a guided tour to take in the former Presidential Palace, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Old Saigon Post Office and Thien Hau Pagoda in the city's bustling Chinatown.
