A must on any Vietnam trip

Independence Palace captures the soul of Ho Chi Minh City. Friendly locals, great photos, and easy to get to from the city center.

Crowded but unforgettable

Yes it's busy, but Independence Palace is busy for a reason. Stay 1, 2 hours, bring small cash, and try the local food nearby.

Better than expected

Honestly thought Independence Palace would be a tourist trap, but it really delivered. Highlight of our days in Ho Chi Minh City.

Great for families

Took the kids to Independence Palace and they loved it. Plenty of space, lots to see, and reasonable prices. Will come back.
