Getting to Ho Chi Minh City: the airports

Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is about 7 km north-west of District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City, 20 to 45 minutes to the centre by road, about 1 hour to Cu Chi and roughly 2 hours to Vung Tau and Can Tho.

Metro line 1 and city buses do not stop at the airport terminal, so most visitors take a taxi, ride-hailing car or a private transfer; a private car with a driver waiting at arrivals is the easiest choice after a long flight, with luggage or for a hotel outside District 1.

Where to stay in Ho Chi Minh City

The areas travellers ask us about most: Cholon, the Chinese quarter, Tan Binh, near the airport, District 1, the historic centre, District 3 and the War Remnants Museum, Pham Ngu Lao and De Tham and Binh Thanh and Landmark 81.

Wherever you stay, the airport transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door, and tours collect you from the hotel; tell the desk the hotel name and everything is planned around it.

What to see in Ho Chi Minh City

The places most visitors come for: Nguyen Hue walking street, Cholon and Thien Hau Temple, Landmark 81 SkyView, a day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels or the Mekong Delta, Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, Saigon Central Post Office and Reunification Palace.

Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Mekong Delta and Cai Rang Floating Market 2-Day Tour Ho Chi Minh City, Cu Chi Ben Duoc Tunnels Small Group Tour Ho Chi Minh City and Cu Chi Tunnels and Speedboat Day Tour Ho Chi Minh City say exactly what each includes.

What to eat in Ho Chi Minh City

Worth trying: pho, banh mi, com tam broken rice, banh xeo pancakes and fresh spring rolls. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.

When to go

December to April is dry and slightly cooler, and May to November brings short heavy rain showers most afternoons; it is hot and humid all year, and traffic peaks from 07:00 to 09:00 and 16:30 to 19:30. Tet in late January or February is quiet in town but very busy on the roads.

Good to know before you arrive

Tan Son Nhat has separate domestic and international terminals, so tell us your airline and flight number; allow 30 to 60 minutes to District 1 in daytime traffic, and give the driver the hotel name and address in writing.

Every booking is confirmed by a real person on our WhatsApp desk, in Arabic or English, with the price written down before anything is paid.
