What are some must sees in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City?
My wife and I are going to Vietnam in less than 2 months and are obviously excited. Some of the time will be spent visiting her family, but what sort of things, tourist wise and locally that are can't misses for this trip? Any advice would be great!
Well, those are ok ideas, but I advise you to take a couple of days, at least, and get out of Saigon; Da Lat (6 hour bus ride), or Mui Ne (4hr bus or train), or Nha Trang (8 hr bus or train). Really, once you've seen your first 10 or so cathedrals, the experience begins to pall. You really should see some of the countryside, for which Da Lat is great, the other 2, particularly just going to Mui Ne, is-rare in Viet Nam-pretty boring scenery. But both Mui Ne and Nha Trang are very nice oceanside destinations.
For very little money, you could leave for Da Lat one morning, stay at a hotel there, leave for Nha Trang the next day, hotel, kill the next day, take a train back to Saigon that night (soft sleeper), and get in very early morning. 3 days. Maybe $125 in hotels and transportation combined. And you'll have seen some of Viet Nam, besides the city.
