Ho Chi Minh City

Visão geral

Officially Ho Chi Minh City, still Saigon to almost everyone who lives there, Vietnam's southern metropolis runs on commerce, coffee and motorbikes. District 1 holds the French colonial landmarks and the war museums; District 3's tree-lined streets hide the cafes; Thao Dien across the river is where the expat and nomad population settles into villas and towers. It is hotter, louder and more ambitious than Hanoi, and its food scene, from banh mi carts to the rooftop restaurants of Nguyen Hue, is a serious rival.

Por que visitar

For energy and opportunity: Vietnam's business capital has the best job market for English teachers and remote-work infrastructure in the country, plus the Mekong Delta and the southern beaches on its doorstep.

O que fazer

Por estilo de viagem

Uma base de dados de destinos, sete visualizações. O encaixe é uma pontuação editorial de um a cinco.

Prático

Segurança

Generally safe; phone and bag snatching from motorbikes is the real risk, especially in Districts 1 and 3. Keep phones off the kerb side. Bui Vien at night has drink-spiking and pickpocket problems.

Esquemas mais comuns

Cyclo and motorbike-taxi overcharging (use Grab), rigged taxi meters (Vinasun and Mai Linh are reliable), coconut-seller photo set-ups, and shoe-cleaning 'repairs'.

Conectividade e trabalho remoto

Fast fibre and 5G; coworking at Dreamplex, Toong, Circo, WeWork and the cafes of Thao Dien and District 3.

Vietnam's start-up and remote-work capital with the largest coworking scene in the country and a big expat population in Thao Dien. English teaching pays well by local standards; nomads value the visa simplicity and the cost.
