✈️ Getting there

SGNTan Son Nhat International Airport
📍 8 km⏱ 30 min🚕 Taxi🚌 Grab🚌 Bus

Use Grab (Southeast Asia's Uber) from the arrivals hall — a taxi to District 1 costs around 150,000-200,000 VND (€5-7) and takes 25-40 minutes depending on traffic; avoid unmarked taxis outside the terminal.

Tan Son Nhat is one of Southeast Asia's busiest and most congested airports — modern international terminal but perpetually crowded, served by Vietnam Airlines, VietJet, Bamboo, and all major Asian and Gulf carriers.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Ho Chi Minh City — beyond the tourist trail.

🍜Eat bun bo hue (spicy Hue-style beef noodle soup) at a street stall on Nguyen Trai Street in District 5 before 9am — this is working-class breakfast in its purest form, under €1.50, and far more interesting than pho.
🛵Book a motorbike street food tour for your first evening — local guides take you on the back of their bikes to 6-8 spots across the city that you'd never find alone. XO Tours and Xe Om Tours are reputable operators.
🕳️Visit Cu Chi Tunnels on a weekday morning (arrive before 9am) and skip the standard tour — hire a local guide privately at the site to access the extended tunnel section where you actually crawl through 70-metre passages.
☕Drink egg coffee at a Ca Phe Trung café in the backstreets of District 3 — the original version uses robusta coffee topped with whipped egg yolk and condensed milk, best sipped sitting on a low plastic stool at the pavement.
🌃Walk Bui Vien Street on a Friday night after 10pm — the backpacker strip is loud and chaotic in the best possible way, but exit after one beer and head three streets north to the quieter local bars on Nguyen Thi Nghia for the real HCMC night scene.
