The lights, sounds, smells, and tastes are dizzying in the best way. Whether you want to shop, enjoy a break at a cute cafe, admire the colonial architecture, or take in the beauty of the Saigon River—Dong Khoi Street has got you covered.

Saigon Opera House is followed by Bitexco Financial Tower, Dong Khoi street, Evason Ana Mandara, Pilgrimage Village, Kon Tum, Hang Nga’s Guesthouse, Bach Ma National Park, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Ha Long Bay, etc.
