The Independence Palace, also known as Reunification Palace, built on the site of the former Norodom Palace. https://originvietnam.com/destination/vietnam/ho-chi-minh-city/independent-palace.html

60's architecture
Jouko AhvenainenSeptember 22, 2017
Very interesting history, that building and its rooms had an interesting role during the Vietnam war.

A 60's palace. If you have enough time in Ho Chi Minh it is worth it!
Lina LimJune 22, 2017
Walk around, up and down, left and right, basement too... so you dont miss any spot not visited!
Tabitha JohnsonApril 19, 2017
The ticket counter is in the gift shop to the right of the entrance. Definitely worth a visit.

Architecture, garden

Frozen in time, 1960s style decor. Like being in an old James Bond movie.
Sander ZuurhoutJanuary 28, 2017
Historical site not to miss when in Saigon. They close from 11:00-13:30. Impressive to see the room where independence between North and South Vietnam was declared in 1975.

do visit it!

Nice place for a quick history lesson. We enjoyed the well preserved settings and it was a good walk thru. Entrance fee of 30k VND

A nice place with really intriguing architecture. Try going off the beaten path for an adventure.
Jack HernandezSeptember 17, 2016
Very interesting and well preserved from the 1970s
Qnoyoki EninanimaSeptember 3, 2016
I am amazed to see the things the late ambassador used to have before. 💕
Kars AlfrinkAugust 21, 2016
A curious attraction. If you enjoy architecture, history or foreign policy this should be of interest. If not, you might be very bored.
TC BoiAugust 16, 2016
30k dong entry per adult.

Amzing place for visit
Simple DiscoveriesJune 1, 2016
Go early to make the most of it as it closes mid-morning (around 11:30am). Admission runs 30,000 VND but is worth seeing the interior. Be sure to spend some time wandering the bunkers downstairs.

Find the helicopter.
adyApril 7, 2016
This is a great place to visit if you love kitschy stuff cause you'll get a lot of that here. The kitschiness you'll get on the floor with the entertainment stuff and also the bunker in the basement.
Ilya SadretdinovApril 3, 2016
You just need to visit the place if you're first time in Saigon. Nothing particularly interesting, just a massive example of Vietcong-Soviet architecture and interior design. Also pretty crowded.
Talisa ChangFebruary 1, 2016
Definitely recommend checking out this odd, well-preserved Vietnamese time capsule.
Chris DaykinDecember 6, 2015
Was good to have a look around. Some pretty cool old school architecture.
Alessia CameraNovember 23, 2015
Great place to visit if you want to understand Vietnam's history. Check the films in the bunker.
Darth MaulOctober 6, 2015
First timer to Saigon to do list. Once you seen it, you can't be bothered to come back again to see it.

First time in Saigon to do list.

Beware of motorcyclists nearby entrance area... They will try to approach you to provide an hour city tour. In the end they are gonna charge you VND1,500,000 per person. Kindly take note.
Tapesh BhattMay 30, 2015
Check out Nha Hang Cafe also inside the campus
Haszree AminnudinMay 27, 2015
The bunker reminded us of actual war scenario. You can feel its intense moment. Do not missed this place.
Monique RiveraMay 3, 2015
The "don't judge the book by its cover" motto exists in this place. Its very simple outside but very rich inside. Culture, history and the love for their people.

Go all the way to the top of the palace. Great views some nice shade and the coldest abs best priced beer in district 1 (20kvnd / can)
Péter SasFebruary 15, 2015
Only 30k for The museum and the park. Plenty of information everywhere, check out all the levels from -2 to 5!
David IwanowFebruary 7, 2015
An interesting place to visit and certainly something cool to see when you visit Ho Chi Minh city. Make sure to visit the bunker in the basement
Damian BayonaJanuary 26, 2015
Architecturally very cool. Should only take 1 hour to go through. Cafes in in the park to relax after.
Tâm AngelNovember 6, 2014
Perspicuous sign guidelines. That view from rooftop is unforgettable.
viknesh rajandranOctober 6, 2014
The place may be big and looks repetatative but it has different functions. Check out the basement, I find it to be the most interesting.
JoshSeptember 10, 2014
Worth a visit. Has the tanks which smashed through the gates. Many rooms are roped off, but the basement is fairly interesting.
Phat BuoySeptember 9, 2014
Simple but stunning architecture. Great rooftop views. Look out for the bombing markings near the helicopter

It's like White House of Saigon
TingJanuary 21, 2014
Interesting tour. History slanted towards Viet communist's version but that is to be expected.
lybikJanuary 20, 2014
The free guided tours were cancelled: now you should pay 200k dongs for it ;)
Sherelle AllwoodJanuary 2, 2014
From 12pm untill 1:30 this sight closed. I arrived on the rooftop to find this information out and was directed out the building. Great sight however and worth the visit.
Thea NguyenDecember 14, 2013
Great 3D show today and yesterday. Did you enjoy it?
Tan Vu NguyenDecember 13, 2013
