There are few historical places you must visit in Ho Chi Minh City. We actually walk from one historical location to another for Day 2 within Ho Chi Minh City. All are close to each other and with a map, you should be able to find those places
On of the place that we visited is The Reunification Palace. This palace used to be the official residence of the Presidents of the former South Vietnam government. Entrance ticket is selling at the main entrance before you enter the palace.

Next historical location is the Notre Dame Cathedral. Only about 10 minutes away from the Reunification Palace. This is one of the France’s most ambitious construction projects in Indochina at that time. Heard that every stone used in its creation was shipped from France. Wow.
Notre Dame Cathedral
After that we visited The Old post office which is just beside the Notre Dame Cathedra. is another example of French colonial architecture and is also the country’s largest post office.

The most beautiful building is the night view of Opera House. It located at the end of Dong Khoi street. Picture not that well taken
