On the day trip by private car from Phu My port to Saigon, we will visit well-known attractions in Ho Chi Minh city center as follows:

Notre Dame Cathedral 

The first stop in our Phu My port to Sagon by car is Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon. It is also known as the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, built by the French from 1877 to 1883.

All the building materials were shipped from France to Vietnam. Hence, it has bold imprints of French architecture of the Roman and Gothic periods.

Old Post Office

The next stop in our Phu My Port to Saigon trip is the Old Post Office. Saigon Central Post Office is one of the typical architectural structures in Ho Chi Minh City. Architect Gustave Eiffel was the first person who designed it.

Later on, it was rebuilt by the French around 1886 to 1891 with an eclectic style according to the design of two French architects, Alfred Foulhoux and Henri Auguste Vildieu. This is a Western-style architectural work combined with extremely monumental Eastern decorations.

Reunification Palace

The next stop in our Ho Chi Minh city tour from Phu My port by car is the Reunification Palace, known as The Independence Palace. It was the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam.

On April 30th, 1975, tank numbers 390 and 843 of the North Vietnam Army crashed through the Reunification Palace gates. Afterward, the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the roof of the palace was lowered and marked the “American War” officially ended.

War Remnants Museum

Then, our experienced driver will drive you to explore The War Remnants Museum, formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes with 3 floors.

The museum displays more than 20,000 artifacts and photos that are poignant evidence of the devastating consequences of the American war caused to Vietnam.

Notably, some of the black and white photos in the ‘Requiem’ exhibit are particularly emotional beyond words, dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who passed away during the brutal war. 

Besides, the large yard outside the museum displays the spoils of war captured from the American army, such as rusting jets, tanks, and cannons.

Furthermore, the museum also conveys the message of the spirit of fighting to protect independence and object to the war. Most importantly, it is important to preserve peace as well as solidarity, friendship, cooperation, and development between nations.

Ben Thanh Market

Next, we will have a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Saigon center. After lunch, we will visit Ben Thanh Market– the biggest commercial market in Saigon.

In this market, you can see everything you want to buy at many different price ranges. Importantly, do not forget to protect your belongings and bargain.

If you don’t like the Ben Thanh market, you can choose to explore the Binh Tay market. It is a small local market with colorful scenes and daily activities of the locals. Thus, you can also learn about the typical culture and life of the locals.

Ba Thien Hau Pagoda

Last but not least in our private car Phu My Port to Saigon transfer is Ba Thien Hau Pagoda. It is a famous and beautiful Chinese pagoda in Ho Chi Minh city.

After all, our English-speaking driver will transfer you back to the Phu My port. We finish the day tour from Phu My Port to Saigon by private car. Hoi An Private Taxi Travel & Transport wishes you a memorable day trip with us.
