Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s largest city, offering an exciting mix of history, culture and modern attractions. While its busy streets and constant flow of motorbikes can feel overwhelming at first, families who spend a few days here will discover fascinating museums, colourful markets, rooftop views and some of the country’s best food.
It’s also one of the best places to learn about Vietnam’s history, with attractions such as the War Remnants Museum and the nearby Cu Chi Tunnels providing valuable insight for older children and teenagers. Families can also enjoy river cruises, parks, shopping, local street food and day trips into the Mekong Delta. Whether you’re visiting for a couple of days or using it as a gateway to southern Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City offers plenty to see and do.
