Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral in Ho Chi Minh CityStay in Pham Ngu Lao District
There are hotels located throughout Ho Chi Minh City, however, the most popular part of the city for foreign visitors (particularly younger foreign visitors) is the Pham Ngu Lao District. To the south of Pham Ngu Lao Street is a network of smaller roads packed with hotels and hostels, restaurants and bars, all focussed on catering to foreign visitors.
If it’s your first time in Ho Chi Minh City then it’s an easy option to book somewhere to stay in Pham Ngu Lao. Other parts of the city can become quite quiet in the evening and it can be difficult to find a restaurant or bar open after 20:00, but not in Pham Ngu Lao which has a vibrant nightlife scene. Pham Ngu Lao is also easy walking distance from the main attractions in District 1 and the fantastic Benh Thanh Market.
