When you travel to a new venue, often all you want to do is visit specific sights, go to suggested exciting locations, and participate in inspirational events.

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is ideal for this, particularly in the evenings. If you’re curious what to do and where to go to get the best nightlife experiences in Ho Chi Minh City, look no further. The instructions below will assist you in determining your own responses.

1. Have Fresh Beer on Pham Ngu Lao and Bui Vien Street

In Vietnam, fresh beer, also known as Bia Hoi in Vietnamese, is a form of draught beer. Residents in Vietnam’s north enjoy this cocktail. The same is true for residents of Ho Chi Minh Neighborhood, a southern city. The drinking scene on Pham Ngu Lao Street in District 1 is very common. There are so many opportunities in Saigon for both locals and visitors to enjoy this cocktail, including high-quality bars, nightclubs, breweries, and street food stalls, that it is not shocking to see both foreigners and local Vietnamese drinking the fresh beer on the streets.

Bui Vien Street and Pham Ngu Lao Street in District 1 are “heaven” for foreigners when it comes to Saigon nightlife.

Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City is a symbol and one of the most well-known locations to buy almost everything. Every day, from sunrise to sunset, you will share your requirements with the vendors. The morning market usually begins at 6 a.m., while the night market is later. The night market is located along Phan Boi Chau Street and is a notorious hangout for officers and low-income staff from 19:00 to 24:00. Since the price is not set, you must negotiate with the vendors to get a good deal.
