Notre-Dame Cathedral of Saigon

An Iconic Symbol of French Colonial Elegance

Standing tall in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, the Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of Vietnam’s most treasured landmarks. Built between 1863 and 1880 by French colonists, this magnificent structure is a stunning example of neo-Romanesque architecture, modeled after the famous Notre-Dame de Paris.

With its twin bell towers soaring 58 meters high, red bricks imported from Marseille, and exquisite stained-glass windows, the cathedral exudes a timeless charm. Though currently under restoration, visitors can still admire its graceful façade, tranquil square, and European-inspired design from the outside.

Located just across from the Central Post Office, it is more than a religious site—it’s a piece of living history, a perfect photo spot, and a peaceful escape from the city’s bustle.

📸 Travel Tip: Visit in the early morning for beautiful light and fewer crowds, or in the evening when the area comes alive with local street performers and couples enjoying the peaceful square.

Saigon Central Post Office

Where History Meets Architectural Grandeur

Located in the heart of District 1, just steps from Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Saigon Central Post Office is a masterpiece of French colonial architecture and a must-visit landmark in Ho Chi Minh City.

Designed by legendary architect Gustave Eiffel (yes, the mind behind the Eiffel Tower), the building was completed in 1891 and remains one of the city’s most iconic symbols. Its bright yellow façade, arched windows, and intricate ironwork evoke the elegance of 19th-century European design, while the interior showcases a beautifully vaulted ceiling and a massive portrait of President Ho Chi Minh.

Still functioning as a post office today, this historical site offers more than just visual charm. You can send a postcard, admire antique phone booths, or browse for vintage stamps and souvenirs at the small gift stalls inside.

Reunification Palace (Independence Palace)

Where Time Stands Still in Vietnamese History

A visit to Reunification Palace is a journey back to the defining moments of modern Vietnam. Once the presidential residence of South Vietnam, this iconic structure witnessed the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, marking the end of the Vietnam War. The image of a North Vietnamese tank crashing through its gates is etched into the nation’s collective memory.

Designed in the 1960s by architect Ngô Viết Thụ, the palace is a striking blend of modernist architecture and traditional feng shui principles. Inside, visitors can explore original meeting rooms, underground command bunkers, vintage war maps, and the President’s private quarters—left almost untouched since the 1970s.

Surrounded by manicured gardens and shaded by giant trees, the palace offers a reflective contrast to the hustle of the city outside. Whether you’re a history buff or a curious traveler, this site offers deep insight into Vietnam’s turbulent past and resilient spirit.
