Top 5 things must do in Ho Chi Minh City
Top spot in town for opera and classical music
Built in 1897 by the legendary French architect Eugène Ferret, Saigon Opera House (Opėra de Saigon) is widely considered as one of the best representations of French colonial architecture in Saigon.
Representation of Catholicism in the largely Buddhist Vietnam
The Notre Dame Cathedral shows the pinnacle of French Colonialism in Ho Chi Minh. While not as grand as the Notre Dame in Paris, this Cathedral is still beautiful and well worth a look around. Built between 1877 and 1883, the Cathedral is of neo-Romanesque design, with red brick imported from France and two towers containing six bronze bells. Look over the beautiful stained glass windows and the statue of its name sake outside on the lawn, which was said to have shed tears in 2005. The Cathedral is still in use and Mass is held there every Sunday.
Stark naked truth of the Vietnam War
Definitely not a fun experience, but worth every single second. It is a place to remember the atrocious and horrible effects that come as a result of war. Most of the inside of the War Remnants Museum is filled with photography, shown in exhibitions, about various events of the Vietnam War. You are free to walk around the various photo and journalist displays.
Be prepared for quite a heavy and saddening experience

Representation of the Chinese community in Saigon
You’re going to hear most about Ben Thanh Market. But Binh Tay Market offers a more local experience (and better price), overall a little less touristy geared.
Binh Tay Market is one of the major official markets, located in the Cholon area of Ho Chi Minh City aka the Chinatown of Saigon. It has a similar feel to it as Ben Thanh, and even many of the products that are sold – from clothes to food – are basically quite similar.
