Creator's Key Takeaways

I would not recommend being here after 10:00 because it can be quite chaotic and a bit extreme for some people because it gets loud.

This place really reaches maximum capacity around Friday or Saturday night after 10 p.m.

I would say three or four days in Ho Chi Min is enough.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pull out 5 million Vietnamese dong (around $200) for average spending.
βœ“Visit the War Remnants Museum either before 11:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. to avoid heat.
βœ“Consider going to Landmark 81 observation deck at sunset and staying past dark for nice views.
