HO CHI MINH CITY (SAIGON)
08 / POP 7.4 MILLION
Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is a metropolis on the move and we're not just talking about
the city's motorbikes. Yes, Saigon is Vietnam at its most dizzying, a high-octane city of
commerce and culture that has driven the whole country forward with its limitless energy
and booming economy.
Wander through alleys to ancient pagodas or teeming markets, past ramshackle wooden
shops selling silk and spices, before fast-forwarding into the future beneath skyscrapers and
mammoth malls.
Whether you want to relive the colonial experience in sumptuous French-era hotels or
crash in the cheapest guesthouse, seek out the classiest restaurants or indulge in street food,
shop designer boutiques or join the scrum of the markets, Saigon has it all. Put simply,
there's nowhere else quite like it.
