The first stop is Ho Chi Minh Complex where you can visit the mausoleum of the nation’s founder Ho Chi Minh, the Presidential Palace and the Ho Chi Minh’s house on stilts. The thing attracting tourists to visit this place is the tranquility and peace, getting away from the hustle and bustle of the capital.

Pay a visit to the peaceful Hoan Kiem lake with its sacred temple then go to the famous water puppet theatre for a fantastic performance.
