The Notre Dame Cathedral in Saigon, erected by French colonists in the late 1880s, is one of the few remaining strongholds of Catholicism in mostly Buddhist Vietnam. The name Notre Dame was given after the erection of the statue 'Peaceful Notre Dame' in 1959 in Paris Square. The Vatican elevated the Cathedral to the status of a basilica in 1962, giving it the formal name of Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. The cathedral's distinctive neo-Romanesque features include an all-red brick façade (imported from Marseille), stained glass windows, two bell towers containing six bronze bells that still ring today, and a tranquil garden setting in the heart of downtown Ho Chi Minh City District 1.

The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is a wonderfully maintained French colonial relic and maybe the greatest post office in Southeast Asia. The two cultural attractions, located next door to Notre Dame Cathedral, may be viewed together and allow tourists to envision life in Vietnam under the Indochinese Empire. Alfred Foulhoux designed the structure, which has arched windows and wooden shutters, much as it would have in its heyday in the late 1800s.

Until his death in 1963, Vietnamese General Ngo Dinh Diem's headquarters were at Independence Palace. It made its mark on world history in 1975. The Vietnam War was ended when a North Vietnamese Army tank burst through its front gate. It is now a must-see for tourists in Ho Chi Minh City. The castle seems like a time capsule from 1975. Two of the original tanks used in the palace capture are still stationed on the grounds. The French Governor of Cochin-China lived and worked in Independence Palace. It contains a command bunker, gorgeous gardens, secret chambers, and antique furnishings. It is still used to hold big events in Ho Chi Minh City, such as APEC meetings.

Ho Chi Minh City's War Remnants Museum initially opened to the public in 1975. It was formerly known as the 'Museum of American War Crimes,' and it serves as a chilling reminder of the long and cruel Vietnam War. Photographs and military equipment from the United States are on show. There's a helicopter equipped with rocket launchers, a tank, a fighter jet, and a single-seat assault plane. A conventional bomb weighing 6,800kg is also seen.
