Ho Chi Minh City’s got its main sites – the War Remnants Museum, Reunification Palace, or Notre Dame Cathedral – but it’s down the backstreets of areas like Cho Lon that you’ll get a real feel for local life in southern Vietnam. Take a tour from Ho Chi Minh City and explore the stalls of Cholon and Binh Tay Markets, try a steaming bowl of pho and grab a coffee to watch the hectic HCMC life pass you buy. Then head out to see rural life in the Mekong Delta or experience a Vietnam overnight train to Hoi An and on to the charming capital of Hanoi.
