Why Ho Chi Minh City
- Major international flight hub with cheap arrivals from across Southeast Asia
- Bui Vien Street is one of Asia's most iconic backpacker strips
- Incredible street food at rock-bottom prices
Vietnam's largest city (formerly Saigon) is a chaotic, exhilarating metropolis of 9+ million people. It serves as the main gateway to southern Vietnam and is where most backpackers begin or end their Vietnam journey. The city blends French colonial architecture, war history, vibrant street food culture, and a booming nightlife scene centered on the famous Bui Vien Street.
