Touch down at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, where a welcoming Cox and Kings representative awaits to escort you to your centrally located hotel. As you glide into the city, watch how old colonial facades and glassy towers share the same skyline, a visual introduction to Vietnam’s past and present. After a smooth check-in, take a little time to refresh and let the tropical warmth settle in.
Begin your journey with a guided exploration of the city’s hallmark landmarks. The red-bricked Notre Dame Cathedral and the Saigon Central Post Office stand like postcards from the French Indochina era, while the People’s Committee Hall rises in perfect symmetry. After lunch, step through the corridors of the Independence Palace and the War Remnants Museum, each offering a sobering lens into the history of the Vietnamese.
Later, stroll through the colourful aisles of Ben Thanh Market, where spices, textiles, and chatter swirl together in a lively tapestry. Indulge in a satisfying dinner, with Indian cuisine and local specialities before returning to your hotel. Retreat for the evening and settle into your comfortable room for a restful night.
