13 days in Ho Chi Minh City Itinerary

Formerly known in the West as Saigon and affectionately referred to as the "Pearl of the Far East," Ho Chi Minh City is a study of old and new, woven and piled together in a fast-paced urban hub.

Venture out of the city with trips to Long Thanh Golf Club (in Bien Hoa) and Vinh Trang Pagoda (in My Tho). Plan for a day of cool, family-friendly fun on the 26th (Thu) at Dam Sen Water Park. There's still lots to do: make a trip to Cu Chi Tunnels, get engrossed in the history at War Remnants Museum, admire the landmark architecture of The Independence Palace, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral.

Inspirock's itinerary builder makes planning a Ho Chi Minh City trip simple and quick.

In October, plan for daily highs up to 38°C, and evening lows to 28°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 1st (Wed) early enough to travel back home.
