Ho Chi Minh City Short Break – 4 Days

You will embark on a morning city tour, exploring notable French colonial landmarks such as Notre Dame Cathedral and the Old Central Post Office. The visit extends to the Reunification Palace, which served as the official residence of the President of South Vietnam until the conclusion of the war in April 1975. If time allows, a visit to the War Remnants Museum is highly recommended.

After savoring delicious local cuisine, the afternoon unfolds with a trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels—an extraordinary subterranean network stretching 210 miles, constructed by guerrilla fighters starting in 1940 and expanded throughout the Vietnam War.

Returning to the hotel, you have free time at leisure to explore Saigon's vibrant nightlife. The downtown area, particularly along streets like Pham Ngu Lao, Bui Vien, and Dong Khoi, offers numerous bars and nightclubs. Your guide can provide recommendations as you pass by these areas during the day.

Today's itinerary brings you to My Tho, the capital of Tien Giang Province. Located on the Mekong River, approximately 75 kilometers southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, this city is surrounded by rice fields and orchards that contribute to the country's grain production. Explore one or two islands known for their traditional handicrafts, coconut candy, and bee farms during your boat excursion on the Mekong River. Don't miss a visit to the Vinh Trang Pagoda, the oldest pagoda in the delta. After your Mekong River adventure, return to Ho Chi Minh City, check into the hotel, and spend the night in this vibrant metropolis.

Today is a day at your leisure, allowing you time for shopping or personal exploration. Later, our team will arrange your transfer to the airport for departure. This marks the end of your memorable journey through Vietnam. Farewell, and until next time! Airport transfer is included!
