We went back to one of our favourite countries in the world - Vietnam! Last year we traveled through North and Central Vietnam, but this time round we visited the South, Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh.

During our time in Saigon, Vietnam, we compiled a list of 11 Top things to do in Saigon. We hope it'll give you some ideas of fun things to do and must-visit places in Ho Chi Minh.

1. MEKONG DELTA
As a first must-do activity in Saigon, we ticked off something from our Vietnam bucket list which is visiting the Mekong Delta river. Our day trip included a stop off at Vinh Trang Pagoda as well as a simple lunch at Tortoise Island (also known as Turtle Island).

2. ARTINUS 3D ART MUSEUM
Visiting Artinus 3D Art Museum is a fun way to spend a few hours. There are a ton of different 3D artworks to take loads of great photos. It's one of those enjoyable family-friendly top places to visit in Saigon especially if you want to create some fun memories together.

Address: Số 2 Đường số 9, Tân Hưng, Quận 7, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam

3. A O SHOW (SAIGON OPERA HOUSE)
If you enjoy theater productions filled with culture, acrobatics and traditional live music then visiting the Saigon Opera House in Ho Chi Minh to watch the A O Show will be right up your alley.

You're not allowed to take photos or video the performance but we reached out to the team and were granted a special backstage sneak peak for our channel (with permission to film) before watching the full performance that night. Make sure you check when the sessions are beforehand. You can pick up your tickets from the Saigon Opera House rather than buy it online too.

Saigon Opera House
Address: 07 Công Trường Lam Sơn, Bến Nghé, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh 700000, Vietnam

4. CU CHI TUNNELS
A must do visit activity while visiting Saigon is checking out the Cu Chi tunnels. Vietnam was able to win various wars through genius guerrilla tactics and to be able to see the Cu Chi tunnels in real life and learn about the history of what life was like for the soldiers and Vietnamese people was super interesting.

Address: TL15, Phú Hiệp, Củ Chi, Hồ Chí Minh 733814, Vietnam
