This was my 1st trip to Ho Chi Minh City and i absolutely love the vibe and energy this bustling city has to offer 🤭 Here’s sharing WHERE is best to stay at HCMC Saigon and its 3 most instagrammable cafes.Ho Chi Minh City

📍: Kin Hotel Dong Du

Located at District One - It’s seriously one of the most convenient place to stay in the heart of HCMC.

Cafe hops in HCMC you won’t wanna miss!

Here’s 3 must-visit cafes :

📍: Mê Coffee Go Vap

Me Coffee

This is a Teddy Bear 🧸 Wonderland!

ME Coffee is famous for its huge collection of teddy bears (over 700!) that fill every corner of the café — from floor to ceiling. It’s perfect for cute selfies, cozy vibes, and Instagram-worthy content.

This café is split into 2 different wings with distinct themes: one side has soft, pastel tones for a dreamy feel, while the other gives off a warm, homely vibe. It’s like visiting two cafés in one spot!

📍: Oasis Cafe

Oasis Cafe

🌿 Tropical Island-Inspired Escape

Oasis Café is designed like a hidden tropical retreat — full of greenery, archways, and desert-chic vibes. It’s like stepping into a mini Bali or Moroccan escape right in the heart of the city.

Ultra-Aesthetic Photo Spots everywhere!

📍: Miền Thảo Mộc Café

Cafe Sân Vườn Miền Thảo Mộc

Nature-Lover’s Dream Aesthetic

Miên Thảo Mộc blends botanical garden vibes with soft minimalist décor. Think dried flowers, rattan chairs, calming tones. It’s the perfect zen-like escape from the city hustle. I ❤️ the aesthetics of this cafe!

I had so much fun in HCMC and I seriously can’t wait to be back again! 🇻🇳

Ho Chi Minh City
2025/8/6 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're wondering what else to do in Ho Chi Minh City beyond popular spots, there are plenty of unique experiences to dive into. For starters, try exploring the local street food scene—pho and bánh mì are must-tries that truly capture Vietnamese flavors. Visiting Ben Thanh Market offers authentic souvenirs and fresh produce, immersing you in the vibrant daily life. For a more cultural experience, consider checking out the War Remnants Museum or the historic Cu Chi Tunnels to learn about Vietnam's history from a local perspective. These sites provide insight beyond tourist clichés and make the visit meaningful. If you're into photography or just want to discover less typical places, the District 3 area has charming colonial architecture and quaint coffee shops less crowded by tourists. Also, evening river cruises offer a beautiful perspective of the city's skyline and lively atmosphere. Don’t miss out on catching a sunset at Bitexco Tower’s Sky Deck for panoramic views, or strolling through Tao Dan Park for a relaxing break surrounded by greenery. Traveling here felt both exciting and calming—I found hidden gems by simply wandering and chatting with locals. Ho Chi Minh City is definitely worth the visit, combining history, food, and vibrant urban life in a way that stays with you.

Ho Chi Minh is the new Bangkok ✨
Whatever you do in #bkk you can now do it in #vietnam HCM too! Massage ✅ Shopping ✅ Nails ✅ Spa ✅ Cafe ✅ Bars ✅ Cheap cheap good good ✅ The only downside I would say is that they do not have much late night activities. Most massage places closes at 11PM as compared to BKK at 2am.
