You'll also find a wide range of accommodation here, from five-star hotels to budget-friendly hostels.

Nguyen Hue Boulevard

The oldest and widest street in Ho Chi Minh, Nguyen Hue Boulevard has played a significant role in the country's history. During the Vietnam War, foreign correspondents stayed in the hotels along this street. On one end of the street, you'll find the City Hall and on the other, Saigon River. Along this pedestrian-friendly area, there are a lot of bars, cafes, and interesting buildings to check out.

Cholon

The largest Chinatown in Vietnam, Cholon is one of the best places to stay in Ho Chi Minh if you're looking for budget-friendly accommodation. It's also close to Buddhist temples and the Binh Tay Market, the largest in Vietnam. Hire a cyclo (a bicycle with passenger seating in front) to take you around the area to check out the architecture and the authentic Chinese eateries.

Pham Ngu Lao

If you want to experience the bustling nightlife of Ho Chi Minh, stay at Pham Ngu Lao. This area is made up of two parallel streets and is known as the backpacker district of the city. If you stay at one of the many budget-friendly hotels nearby, you'll find street food vendors selling delicious eats at all hours.
