Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) Flights

Have you ever been to a city with a pulse? A place with higher octane than a Formula 1 car? Look no further than Ho Chi Minh City. Or Saigon. Either name works.

Wander your way through a market selling everything under the sun, then follow the smell of incense to the many Buddhist temples. But before you do, check out lastminute.co.nz’s insane offers on Ho Chi Minh packages and book one today.

Getting Around Ho Chi Minh City

After your flight to Ho Chi Minh City lands at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), 7km from the central business district, hop in a taxi and go wherever you want. When you’re ready to scour every inch of this bustling Southeast Asian city, cabs are your best mates. But if you want to get a little exercise, bicycles are very popular and easy to rent.

When You Land…

If yourflights to Ho Chi Minh City touch down in the morning, find your way to Tao Dan Park. Stroll along pathways as early-rising locals exercise in meadows surrounded by towering So Khi and flame trees.

We bet you never thought of sneaking around underground tunnels while on holiday, did you? Well, think again. Take a tour of the tunnels of Cu Chi, a network beneath the Cu Chi district that was used during the Vietnam War. You can even have lunch in one of the old underground command bunkers. Neat!

Arriving at night? Stay at one of our hotels in Ho Chi Minh City centre near the Ben Thanh Market so you can eat like a king for next to nothing. There’s everything from standard dishes like pho to restaurants specialising in fried insects. Nothing like a handful of crispy crickets to help quell your appetite.

Live Like a Local

Hop on a motorised scooter and take off for the Cholon section of town, where the Binh Tay Market is located. After you’ve bought whatever it is you were looking for, head over to the Quan Am Pagoda. Explore the garden and pond, the Altar to Ngoc Hoang and the other Altar to Thien Hau. Man, these guys like altars.
