Ho Chi Minh City is the largest business and tourist center of Vietnam. Until 1975, it was called Saigon, but then it was decided to rename it in honor of the most prominent political figure and the first president of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
The city is located in the south-east of the country, where the tropical climate prevails, or rather, the tropical savannah. This means that in the rainy season, an average annual rainfall falls here. The dry season lasts from December to April. The average air temperature is + 280C. But above +40, the thermometer does not rise. Hotels of the city are ready to receive tourists at any time of the year and provide them with the warmest hospitality.
Tourist attractions are associated with the period of the entire existence of the city, starting from 1623, but the main objects are the buildings of the French colonial era (botanical garden, Notre Dame de Paris, The Continental Hotel, Norodom Palace, Ban Thanh Market) and the period of the Republic of Vietnam.
Many hotel complexes have tour desks offering a variety of tours to the sights of Vietnam. It is advisable to settle in the city center, despite the high prices of hotel services. The best hotels in Ho Chi Minh City are collected in this review.
