Formerly the capital of French Cochinchina and later South Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is today Vietnam’s largest urban centre. Many westerners will be more familiar with the city’s former name, Saigon, which is still what the Vietnamese call their capital.
Still heavy on culture, this city is packed with energy and has vibrant art and food scenes. You’ll find that in Ho Chi Minh City, there’s a juxtaposition of old and new; glistening skyscrapers compete for space with colonial buildings; and ancient temples are as popular with visitors as modern shopping malls.
