• Independence Palace (Dinh Độc Lập): The Reunification Palace (Independence Palace) is a must-see for anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. This palace was the home of the president of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. This was also the place that marked the end of the Vietnam War when a North Vietnamese army tanker crashed through the main gate in 1975. It is now a museum that provides a fascinating look at life in South Vietnam during the war.
• Notre-Dame Cathedral (Nhà Thờ Đức Bà): Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, officially Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of The Immaculate Conception is a cathedral located in downtown Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Established by French colonists who initially named it the Church of Saigon, the cathedral was constructed between 1863 and 1880.
