The Best Place for Shopping in Saigon

Everyone likes to go on a shopping spree sometimes, and Saigon is definitely one of the best places for this. A quick Google search will help you find countless high-end shopping malls (Vincom A and B, Takashimaya); we decided to have a look at more local (and affordable) places to buy souvenirs from your trip to Vietnam.

We have decided not to include as well the famous Bến Thành Market in District 1, mostly for its constant haggling and pricing. If you love that sort of thing though, Ben Thanh market is an easy go-to and it’s iconic!

If you are looking to bring something a bit more exotic back, you can check out our guide on where to buy weasel coffee in Ho Chi Minh City as souvenir for friends or family.

I moved to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in 2012 to continue my career as a Chef. As what usually happens with life, the unexpected took me down a different path where I began operating Motorbike Food Tours with my company Back of the Bike Tours. I enjoy spending my time eating great food, learning Vietnamese, working with my team, showing customers the best food in Ho Chi Minh City, and building the best source of content on the web for travelers planning their trips to Vietnam!
