Nearby, there’s an exhibition center. If you’re planning to visit both, I highly recommend getting a combo ticket which include the audioguide fee as well.

If you’re into country’s rich history this is one of great places to check out!

This place was just incredible and has to be seen to be believed. I accidentally entered the premises via a back gate so didn’t actually pay but it’s worth paying whatever the price is. There definitely aren’t too many palaces in the world where you have such free reign with so many interesting rooms and decor to see. A great place to escape the heat and amazing foresight to leave everything untouched since 1975.

The Independence Palace in Saigon is a captivating historical landmark that beautifully showcases Vietnam’s journey to independence. The architectural elegance and preserved rooms provide a glimpse into the nation’s past, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts. The lush gardens surrounding the palace add to its charm, creating a serene atmosphere for visitors to explore and reflect on Vietnam’s rich history.

Initially we weren’t planing on visiting the Independence Palace but after cruising by in a Grab we decided to check it out the following day. So glad we decided to visit the site as it’s a massive structure arrested in 1975. The sheer indulgence in the volumes of each room are striking to experience. The interior spaces resist any form of human closeness and instead impose a distance between people evidenced by the grand tables, extremely separated seating, broad walkways around the palace. Even the primary apartment feels dehumanized. This isn’t a critique of the space but more an awareness of how palpable the authority of the space is felt throughout. Not to be missed.

The Independence Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is a great spot for history enthusiasts. Upon arrival, you might be offered an audio guide, but it’s unnecessary as everything inside is well-detailed in English, which is also transcribed in the guide. However, if you opt for the audio guide, be prepared to leave your passport, driver’s license, or another government-issued ID as collateral, which will be returned once you return the audio book. The space inside can feel a bit suffocating, and if time is limited, you might consider skipping it. Overall, for history buffs, it’s a worthwhile visit, but for those constrained by time, it could be an area to bypass.

    This is a small museum and does not have much crowd, the entrance ticket to this museum is cheap and you will be able to take a look at artifacts of Vietnam.
