Well, you can actually do these things in a day (“,)
1. Ride on a Xe Om/ Motorbike Taxi. Explore and experience the madness of the city on a Xe Om. This is totally fun, inexpensive and a little dangerous. It was in 2007 that I had my first Xe Om ride. At that time, people didn’t wear helmets but come on! I gotta dot it. So I instructed the Xe Om driver to get me to Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street. I couldn’t remember the exact address of the hotel so we were roaming around district 1 and district 3 for almost an hour. I was new in Saigon so being lost was happiness but the driver surely felt the opposite.
2. Get a Caphe Sua Da/ Iced Coffee with Milk on the streets. They have a lot of proper coffee shops in Saigon such as Highlands and Trung Nguyen which are among the famous. But don’t forget to try some on the streets. They are as delicious plus it’s a cheap pleasure. I gotta warn you though, the coffee in Vietnam is highly addictive. 
3. Walk around Dong Khoi St. You will see the city’s main church which is the Notre Dame. It is one of the most photographed sights in Saigon. Very close to it is the Saigon Central Post Office, which has a Gothic architectural style and of course Vietnam’s top tourist attraction. Independence Palace is just nearby. Queue for a ticket to get inside the palace and spend an hour perhaps to learn more about the war, the government and the people.
4. Visit the War Remnants Museum. Wait..Do a bit of research first, you may not like what you see. Well, am sure you’re gonna like the tanks, the planes, the helicopters but there are things more than that. Believe me, I’ve been to the museum for four times and I always end up crying. What I really mean is…be emotionally prepared as it is very emotional inside.
5. Go to Pham Ngu Lao St. This is the backpackers’ place. It’s a good way to end your day really. Choose what and where to go before sleeping.
They have lots of international and local restaurants which are reasonably priced.
They have bars as well and if you want to hear Filipino singers just go to Seventeen Saloon.
They have SPAs. Women like me would indulge in a quiet pampering moment after the 24-hour walkathon.
Thanks for reading guys. Your thoughts? Just leave me a msg below (“,)

Saigon also known as Ho Chi minh city is my favourite city of all time . Despite boredom and limitation of the city , i find it really fascinating to take a trip around the city for a very ” saigon-ish” experience
.
1. You should take a ride on a cyclo and travel around the city . It’s really fun but now-a-days it may charge you some money xD http://images.ictnews.vn/CMSImage/Resources/Uploaded/huonglt/01.jpg
2. You should go to Ben Thanh night market . It has many unique things that you won’t find in any other places in Viet Nam and also it’s very beautiful http://www.wroughtiron.com.vn/fckFiles/ben-thanh-marketing-of%20-night.jpg

Thanks Huan!
Saigon is a very lively city with a very wide variety of unique activities to do while visiting as a tourist.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/hecookssheeats/1051937605/
Of course, the first thing any self-respecting tourist would think of doing when going to Vietnam is to enjoy a hot and delicious bowl of Pho. You can either eat this dish in small shops on the streets, or even in places like Vincom and Parkson (popular department stores).
http://www.ottsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/_mg_4799-800×600.jpg
A popular ride that tourists here love to try is the Vietnamese cyclo. It’s a slow ride, and that offers the tourists the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, sunny weather, and appreciate the sights. Although there aren’t as many of them as before, you can still catch a glimpse of them every now and then, especially in ares with a lot of tourists.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/riverdaleto/351124863/in/photostream
Another dish that you just have to try when in Vietnam is Vietnamese balut, or “trung vit lon.” Though some are squeamish, it is a must if you want to fully experience Vietnam. These are sold by street vendors, usually at night as snacks.
(“,) thanks! I love your words
Saigon rocks! There ‘re plenty of things to do here.
1.High Land coffee is good, but it’s to expensive sometimes.
2.You should go to Ben Thanh Market, it’s where you can get souvenirs or stuffs which made in Vietnam, and they also have our country’s traditional food and clothes.
3.The Bitexco Financial Tower is in dist.1, it’s the tallest building in the city, you can see the whole city from it.

Saigon is the biggest city in Vietnam. It rocks!!! There are many things you can do here for a boring day
1.Ride on a xe om and instruct them to get you to Le Duan or Dong Khoi street. You can experience a busy day in Saigon with the people
