Admire some colonial heavyweights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The natural first stops for your journey are the historic Saigon Central Post Office and Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon. You can easily access these architectural masterpieces via the aptly named Book Street \u2013 a narrow pedestrian-only street lined with bookstores and quaint cafes \u2013 which lies directly adjacent to the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Built in the 1880s, both buildings are beautiful examples of the French colonial influence in Vietnam. The gorgeous green, gold and white interiors of the post office are watched over by the ever-present Ho Chi Minh, whose portrait dominates one end of the office, which is still fully functional and a great spot to buy and post a memento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 2. Explore Vietnamese war history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here, it\u2019s two blocks south-east to the Independence Palace. This is the site of the Fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975 and subject of one of the most enduring images of the end of the Vietnam War, when the North Vietnamese forces broke through the palace gates with a tank. It remains a fascinating snapshot of a pivotal time in Vietnam\u2019s history and admission to the well-preserved palace and its exhibition is affordable at around A$4.50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/the-best-things-to-do-in-vietnam\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/the-best-things-to-do-in-vietnam\/\" rel=\"noopener\">War Remnants Museum<\/a> is just a further five minutes away and half the price of admission. It\u2019s very moving and emotionally intense \u2013 please note, they do not hold back on graphic imagery here, but it is worth visiting for those interested in the war and its lasting influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 3. Fresh air and an unforgettable bite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By now you may want to decompress and a stroll two blocks away through Tao Dan Park is a great way to gather your thoughts and soak in some greenery. The 10-hectare space is one of the city&#8217;s largest parks, dotted with towering trees, well-maintained pockets of bright flowers and a handful of sights including Hung King\u2019s Temple and the traditional Lam family tomb. Pull up at a bench and enjoy the cooler environment as local families gather and go about their daily exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Close by are two of the city\u2019s hottest banh mi spots: Banh Mi Huynh Hoa and <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/scooters-starfish-street-food-a-vietnam-travel-guide\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/scooters-starfish-street-food-a-vietnam-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Banh Mi Hong Hoa<\/a>. Both are prone to the occasional line but worth waiting for. If opting for Hong Hoa, order the #1 (which comes stuffed with pate, mayo, a variety of Vietnamese cold cuts, pork floss, pickled veggies and fresh salad) and a Vietnamese iced coffee. Drop crumbs all over yourself, bite into a powerful chilli, fall half off your plastic stool \u2013 it\u2019s all part of the experience as mopeds stream past your kerbside position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/vietnam\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ho-chi-minh-city-banh-mi-hong-hoa-shopfront-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Banh Mi Hong Hoa shopfront in Ho Chi Minh City \u2013 Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-69731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ho-chi-minh-city-banh-mi-hong-hoa-shopfront-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ho-chi-minh-city-banh-mi-hong-hoa-shopfront-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ho-chi-minh-city-banh-mi-hong-hoa-shopfront-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ho-chi-minh-city-banh-mi-hong-hoa-shopfront.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Author<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 4. Start the journey back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll need a stroll after that, so head one block south and walk through September 23<sup>rd<\/sup> Park on the way to the high-energy Bui Vien walking street. It&#8217;s most lively in the evening when the street closes to traffic and people spill across it, but it\u2019s nice to wander through during the day to get a sense of the area. Return in the evening if you\u2019re feeling game, but expect it to be bursting with tipsy tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turn back to the northeast on the journey back to JW Marriott Hotel &amp; Suites Saigon. This will take you to Ben Thanh Market 10 to 15 minutes&#8217; walk away, the city\u2019s largest market with roughly 1,500 stalls. Barter for some souvenirs, get fitted for a new outfit, discover unique loose tea and coffee and grab another bite at one of the many food stalls if you\u2019ve still got room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 5. Toast the day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep moving back towards your home away from home, stopping off for a photo at the bronze Statue of Ho Chi Minh and the beautiful colonial Saigon Opera House. You can cool down in the Vincom Center with some air-conditioned shopping if you\u2019d like, then it\u2019s the perfect time to sit down with some amber and toast your day <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/vietnam-tours-choose-your-own-adventure\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/vietnam-tours-choose-your-own-adventure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exploring Saigon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This area has several spaces from leading local breweries, including Heart of Darkness Craft Brewery, Pasteur Street Craft Beer and 7 Bridges Saigon Craft Beer \u2013 all within a 10-minute walk of JW Marriott. Alternatively, head back, sink into a comfy seat and savour a world-class cocktail at JW Marriott\u2019s Pisco Hana, a Nikkei-style bar where Peruvian-Japanese flavours are explored with precision and creative flair. Get the Miso Passion \u2013 rhum with curry leaves, miso passion fruit and clarified pineapple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/vietnam\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/jw-marriott-hotel-suites-saigon-pisco-hana-bar-interior-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pisco Hana at JW Marriott Hotel &amp; Suites Saigon, a place to visit when seeing Ho Chi Minh City by foot in a day - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-69737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/jw-marriott-hotel-suites-saigon-pisco-hana-bar-interior-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/jw-marriott-hotel-suites-saigon-pisco-hana-bar-interior-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/jw-marriott-hotel-suites-saigon-pisco-hana-bar-interior-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/jw-marriott-hotel-suites-saigon-pisco-hana-bar-interior.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Supplied<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternative transport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a long day on your feet isn\u2019t possible or doesn\u2019t appeal to you, dominant rideshare company Grab is an easy way to explore District 1 by moped or car. Taxis are also freely available, while JW Marriott can arrange transport at an additional cost. It is also worth noting that the busy and narrow city streets and alleyways can be tricky to navigate via wheelchair, so make sure to consider appropriate transport needs ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover Ho Chi Minh City<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Discover Ho Chi Minh
