You’ll explore the Saigon Central Post Office, a neo-baroque facade that flaunts flashes of French Indochina, and the neo-classical Justice Building, with Ionic and Corinthian columns straight out of Ancient Greece. As you wander through leafy boulevards, you’ll also learn how Vietnamese architects reclaimed the city’s identity after the French exit. The tour ends at the Archbishop’s Residence compound. This walking tour offers a unique perspective on how architecture reveals Vietnam’s journey from colonial rule to independence.

Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon and long considered as the Pearl of the Far East, is the most dizzying city of commerce and culture in Vietnam. A visit to Saigon is like an encounter with exotic delicious food, French colonial architecture and memories of Vietnam War. A state-run handicraft enterprise exports a wide range of products—including furniture, carpets, lacquer paintings, and other works of art—made largely from local materials and you will be shown a part of this attraction.
