Hi everyone,

I'll be in HCMC starting from next Thursday to Sunday; however, since it's a business trip so basically I only have about 2 days off to explore the city. Therefore, I want to ask for your advice about what I should do in those two days to get the most out of the city? Are 2 days enough to visit somewhere outside the city though I know it's short. And does anyone plan something that I can join? I'm starting to do my own research but still want to ask you guys so I can get as many advice as possible. I'll stay in D1 by the way. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi,

Go visit Notre Dame church and the area surrounding it. It is nice to walk around and take some pictures. Do not forget the food, eat as much as you can and enjoy the varieties of noodle dishes here.

ciao'

Ben Thanh Market and friendly? Uhm why are they always so agressive to me and my mom when we go there. i also don't like the quality there but neitherless its a shopping paradise for souvenirs. I would recommend to go to other local markets where they offer the same stuff but cheaper:)

Have fun in Saigon. Its great here!
