3 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.

Plan for a day of cool, family-friendly fun on the 1st (Sun) at Dam Sen Water Park. There's lots more to do: don't miss a visit to Cu Chi Tunnels, explore the activities along Bach Dang, head outdoors with Saigon Boat Company, and get engrossed in the history at War Remnants Museum.

In September, daily temperatures in Ho Chi Minh City can reach 38°C, while at night they dip to 28°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 1st (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
