Overview

Largest city in Vietnam. It lies in southern Vietnam, driest and most comfortable between December and April.

Why visit: Hanoi's old quarter and Saigon's boulevards — French colonial streets, temple courtyards and the best street food in Southeast Asia.

Things to do

›Eat at the plastic-stool street stalls — that is where the food actually is
›Cross the road by walking slowly and steadily; the traffic flows around you
›Use Grab for bikes and cars rather than negotiating with drivers
›Sit down for a ca phe sua da and watch the street for an hour
