Ho Chi Minh which was originally known as Saigon is the largest city in Vietnam. With its wide boulevards and its beautiful historic French colonial buildings, the local residents would never consider moving to any other location.
The city has an interesting City Museum and the Museum of Vietnamese History that reflects the past culture and the history.
To get a real feel for the city, the motorbike taxi is one of the best modes of transport here. More than three million of them race along the streets and side roads that were once swarming with the old style bicycle rickshaws.
The many bustling markets and ramshackle shops that now sell an assortment of silks, spices, baskets and handmade furniture and anything else you can thing of, all try their luck amid the ever exciting and changing location of the city.
Ho Chi Minh never sleeps and it is for this reason that Tourists and visitors are continuously flocking to this location.
Booking Ho Chi Minh flights and Airline Info.
Tan Son Nhat International Airport is the only airport with International and overseas flights in the South of Vietnam. A new terminal has recently been opened to help ease the ever increasing demand of passenger traffic that’s been building up over a period of time. However, the airport is located within the crowded Ho Chi Minh City where its growth is limited by space constraints. To counter this problem, a completely new airport called the Long Thanh International Airport is due to be completed in the future, this will leave the original old Tan Son Nhat airport to be solely used for Domestic flights and tourist flights only.
