If you’re traveling to Vietnam on one of the river cruisetours offered by CruiseExperts.com, you’ll have a chance to visit Ho Chi Minh City, one of the most dynamic and interesting places in Southeast Asia. This bustling Metropolis presents a vibrant mix of traditional Vietnamese and European colonial architecture, along with gleaming skyscrapers that represent the forces of modernity.
Given that most Americans have never visited Ho Chi Minh City, you may not be sure where to start when you walk off your river cruise ship. Here are a few suggestions for the best things to do during your visit:
Hire a motorcycle or scooter for a sightseeing trip: The city is full of for-hire, open-top vehicles which are inexpensive and can give you a sense of the scope and grandeur of Vietnam’s capitol.
Sample the street food: Vietnam, and especially Ho Chi Minh City, is one of the best destinations for anyone who enjoys local street food. You can easily fill up on inexpensive, tasty meals from these establishments, which can be found everywhere.
Visit the city’s museums: Like many other attractions in Ho Chi Minh City, museums are cheap: Typical admission fees are in the $2 to $3 range. These institutions feature some of the most beautiful artwork you’ll see on your cruise, and they offer a nice break if you’re overwhelmed by the crowds and pacing of life in Vietnam.
