This hop-on hop-off bus tour around Ho Chi Minh, commonly known as Saigon, provides you with a convenient and flexible way to explore famous landmarks and attractions, including the Saigon Opera House, Museum of Vietnamese History, and Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral. The tour covers multiple routes and stops, allowing you to explore the former capital of South Vietnam at your own pace. With audio guides available in multiple languages, you can learn about its rich history and culture as you travel.
Red Route — Stop 1: Saigon Opera House
The main boarding point in the heart of District 1, beside one of Saigon's most recognisable French colonial buildings.
Red Route — Stop 2: Nguyen Hue Street
Saigon's grand pedestrian boulevard, lined with cafés and leading down to the riverside.
Red Route — Stop 3: Nha Rong Wharf
Historic port where Ho Chi Minh first left Vietnam in 1911, now home to a museum dedicated to his life.
Red Route — Stop 4: Tran Hung Dao Statue
Monument to the 13th-century Vietnamese general who repelled Mongol invasions, set on a busy riverside square.
Red Route — Stop 5: Museum of Vietnamese History
A beautifully preserved colonial building housing artefacts spanning thousands of years of Vietnamese civilisation.
Red Route — Stop 6: War Remnants Museum
One of the most visited museums in Southeast Asia, documenting the Vietnam War through photographs and military hardware.
Red Route — Stop 7: Pham Ngu Lao Street
The backpacker district, packed with street food stalls, bars and budget guesthouses — a good stop for a break.
Red Route — Stop 8: Ben Thanh Market
Saigon's iconic covered market, the go-to spot for street food, souvenirs and local produce.
Red Route — Stop 9: Independence Palace
The former seat of the South Vietnamese government, preserved exactly as it was on the day Saigon fell in 1975.
Red Route — Stop 10: Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral / Central Post Office
Twin landmarks in the same square: a neo-Romanesque cathedral and a grand 19th-century post office designed by Gustave Eiffel's firm.
Blue Route — Stop 1: Pham Ngu Lao Street (Beer Street)
Interchange stop connecting the two routes, in the heart of the backpacker neighbourhood.
Blue Route — Stop 4: Ho Thi Ky Flower Market
A fragrant wholesale flower market that bursts into activity in the early hours and stays busy through the morning.
Blue Route — Stop 6: Ong Bon Pagoda
A richly decorated Chinese pagoda in Cholon dedicated to the God of Happiness and Prosperity.
Blue Route — Stop 7: Binh Tay Market
Cholon's sprawling wholesale market, far less touristy than Ben Thanh and full of local atmosphere.
Blue Route — Stop 8: Thien Hau Pagoda
One of the most atmospheric Chinese temples in the city, dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu and perpetually fragrant with incense.
Hop on and off at any stop along the route.
Saigon Opera House, Công trường Lam Sơn, Bến Nghé, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Your ticket is valid from the moment you first hop on the bus, not from midnight, so you won't lose time if you board in the afternoon.
