Take panoramic photos, enjoy fountains and open spaces, and view the colonial City Hall building. Optionally, grab a quick snack like coconut ice cream or sugarcane juice.

For lunch, indulge in Vietnamese classics at recommended spots like The Lunch Lady, Ngon Restaurant, or Cục Gạch Quán. After lunch, take a drive through the Thao Cam Vien Botanical Garden, a relaxing green zone with big trees and beautiful photo spots.

Then, drive along the Saigon River and Thu Thiem Bridge, making photo stops to capture skyline reflections. The highlight of your day is sunset kayaking on the Saigon River. Paddle along calm channels, enjoy gentle currents, and take in stunning golden hour reflections on the water. Experience the quiet side of Saigon away from traffic and capture beautiful photos of the city skyline. End your day with a riverside dinner or drinks. Choose between a chill riverside vibe at The Deck Saigon or Bistro Song Vie, or enjoy skyline views at Blank Lounge at Landmark 81 or Liberty Central Rooftop Bar.
