Ho Chi Minh City, earlier known as Saigon, hums with a rhythm unique to itself. As the most populous city in Vietnam, it is teeming with life and chaos, with a population hovering around 9 million. A throbbing nerve-centre of Vietnam's southeast region, the city spreads across approximately 2,061 square kilometres, rich with history, culture, and vibrancy.

Saigon was the colonial capital of French Indochina from 1887 to 1902 and again from 1945 till the cessation in 1954. Later becoming the capital of South Vietnam, it threw open the gates of sovereignty in 1975, adopting the name of the inspirational leader Hồ Chí Minh. Characterised by its French colonial architecture, the city streets pulsate with an infectious energy that has made it a major attraction, drawing over 8 million international visitors each year.

When to visit Ho Chi Minh City

Bathed in a tropical climate, the city is a hotbed of high temperatures and humidity throughout the year. The best time to embrace the charm of this city is from November to April, when the weather is agreeable with minimal rainfall - perfect for outdoor activities such as park explorations, landmark visits, and immersive city tours. For families and those who enjoy outdoor activities, this is an excellent time to visit.

However, the rainy season from May to October brings a different flavour, as the city turns hot, humid, and prone to heavy rainfall. While it might deter some from outdoor adventures, it paints a rich tapestry for the monsoon lovers. Head out from December to February for an optimal experience of cooler weather and lower humidity. Regardless of your preferred weather, Ho Chi Minh City remains a city to explore, indulge in, and be inspired by – all you have to do is choose when you want to visit.
