This price includes 2 nights in a Premier Deluxe room, buffet breakfast, and complimentary airport transfer.
Below is the suggested itinerary for you:
Day 1: Bến Nhà Rồng – Snowtown Sài Gòn Amusement Park
Embark from Hanoi in the morning and head to the renowned Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers in Saigon for a quick bite and rest. Located in the city center on Dong Khoi Street, the hotel provides easy access to various famous tourist destinations.
Just 1.4 km from the hotel, Bến Nhà Rồng or the Ho Chi Minh Museum at 1 Nguyễn Tất Thành, District 4, stands out by the Saigon River. Here, you not only explore the country's history but also enjoy the breezy view of the Saigon River.
Next, experience the thrill of passing through the Thủ Thiêm Tunnel under the Saigon River towards Mai Chí Thọ Street. Considered the gateway to the city, it offers a refreshing green space with many high-end apartment projects. This road is also a popular evening picnic spot, especially for the youth who often lay out mats and organize small barbecue parties.
Proceed to the Snowtown Sài Gòn Amusement Park – a Snow Village (125 Đồng Văn Cống, District 2) that replicates a winter wonderland throughout the year. Spanning 4,000 m2 and maintained at 18oC with authentic Japanese snow-making technology, it creates fluffy, thick layers of snow exceeding 30 cm. Experience thrilling snow slides on hills as high as 8m with professional sliding tools and guidance from foreign instructors.
Evenings are the perfect time to feel the vibrant nightlife of Saigon. Take a stroll on Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street; feel the refreshing breeze at Bach Dang Pier; explore bustling shopping centers like Vincom or Saigon Center, gaze at the towering Bitexco Building, or indulge in the aromatic flavors of various culinary hubs.
Day 2: Cu Chi Tunnels – Starlight Bridge
Morning: Prepare a small backpack, hat, sunscreen, and a small water bottle to begin exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels, a historic site with an intricate network of interconnected tunnels resembling a spider's web underground. Experience the sensation of entering the tunnels and be amazed by the unique revolutionary design that struck fear into the enemy. Don't forget to try the hot roasted sweet potatoes with sesame salt – deliciously savory and aromatic.
Evening: Marvel at the Starlight Bridge located in the Phu My Hung urban area, District 7. This brightly lit bridge is exclusively for pedestrians to enjoy the scenery, spanning across the Thay Tieu Canal with its crescent moon-shaped design. Additionally, in this area, you'll find the Crescent Mall shopping center, where you can freely indulge in entertainment and shopping.
Day 3: Ben Thanh Market – Mariamman Temple
A visit to Saigon is incomplete without exploring Ben Thanh Market. Despite its age, Ben Thanh Market is modern and easily accessible from four different entrances. Here, finding anything from every corner of the country is incredibly convenient. Don't forget to pick up some items as souvenirs.
Near Ben Thanh Market is the Mariamman Temple located on Truong Dinh Street. With Indian architecture, the Mariamman Temple is a destination for many Saigonese as well as tourists. Don't be surprised to see people praying by pressing their faces against the stone wall. This 'whispering to the stone wall' action symbolizes expressing wishes and hopes to receive blessings from Mariamman.
With this enticing combo promotion package, you'll have moments to experience Saigon in your own way. Don't hesitate any longer; embark on a Saigon journey right away.
