City tour Saigon

During the our days Ho Chi Minh we spend most of the time inside the ITE travel fair, but we could enjoyed a city tour on Saturday, as well as some free time after the busy meetings in the evenings.

We could wander a little bit through the colourfull streets in Saigon. As you can see in the picture, there are motorbikes everywhere! Saigon is said to be the city with the bigger amount of motorbikes in the world! However, it is important to be aware of the fact that there are some thiefs driving this motorbikes, take care of your properties!

One of the highlights of the trip was, no doubt, the dinner we shared with our contact in HCMC. He invited us to a really nice meal and chatted a bit about all kind of things!

As everyone should do when visiting Saigon, we went to see the Cu Chi tunnels. The history behind is cruel and sad, but worth knowing. It is also very interesting and you will have a deeper insight on Vietnam's history.

Another must in Vietnam is trying the national dish "pho", a yummy noodle soup served with different vegetables and meats. Loved it with a cold tea.

Saigon is a modern city where you can find almost everything, from electronics to fashion.

To finish our visit, we went to the War Museum. You will lose track of your life over here. To me, it was one of the most impressive places I have ever been.

And of course, like everywhere else in Asia, do not forget to try some street food and buy a conic hat!
