What you'll do
8:00am: we pick you up from your hotel (located in the central district 1). Then, we take you on a morning trip to visit the Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace. This palace was built on the site of the former Norodom Palace.
The Independence Palace is a widely recognized landmark of Ho Chi Minh City and was designed by the architect Ngo Viet Thu. The palace was the base of Vietnamese General Ngo Dinh Diem until his death in 1963.
