Useful tips
- It can be hot and crowded at midday, so visiting in the morning or late afternoon is more comfortable.
- In central District 1, mix walking with Grab rides, and allow plenty of driving time for experiences farther out.
- When placed on a District 1 Ho Chi Minh City route map, Ben Thanh Market is in a location that's easy to combine with nearby sights such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Central Post Office, and Reunification Palace. Linking it with a nearby walk rather than making a round trip only for the market reduces travel fatigue.
- Inside the market, you'll see food, souvenirs, and household goods sections all at once, so it's more comfortable to leave large luggage at your accommodation. Hours may be subject to separate notices, so refer to the official guidance.
