How Many Days in Ho Chi Minh City?

Okay, Ho Chi Minh City, right? 3-4 days is a sweet spot. But honestly, it depends on whatcha wanna do.

I spent 4 days there, back in January 2018. Ben Thanh Market was kinda intense! (Paid like, $15 for a fake North Face jacket...whoops!). So 4 days worked.

Major sites? War Remnants Museum is a must. Reunification Palace too. Those take time.

A day trip? Mekong Delta or Cu Chi Tunnels... that's another day, duh.

You could blitz it in less time, sure. But why rush? Feel the city. Taste the pho. Relax, eh?

Honestly, I could've spent a week just eating! So, 3-4...ish. Depends on you.
