Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's largest city and its economic and financial centre, which brings a steady stream of business travellers, project teams and relocating families. Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Ho Chi Minh City give you the space and kitchen that hotel rooms lack, and a fixed base matters here: traffic slows to a crawl for much of the day and the heat makes long walks impractical, so living close to your office, school or favourite streets makes daily life far easier.
300 stays
The historic core around Ben Thanh Market, the Opera House and Nguyen Hue boulevard, now mostly within the Ben Thanh and Saigon wards after the 2025 reorganisation. Metro Line 1 starts at Ben Thanh, with further underground stations at the Opera House and Ba Son, and the Saigon Waterbus leaves from the riverfront.
Stays in or near Central Saigon (former District 1)
The backpacker quarter just south-west of Ben Thanh, packed with bars, tour agents and motorbike rental shops. Most long-distance tourist buses, including services to Cambodia, start and finish here, and the main Saigon city bus station is close by.
Stays in or near Pham Ngu Lao
Bordering the old centre to the north-west, District 3 is home to the War Remnants Museum and a short ride from the central business streets. It is a sensible base if you want to be near downtown without staying on its busiest blocks.
Stays in or near District 3
Across the Saigon River in the former District 2, now part of An Khanh ward, Thao Dien has a good choice of restaurants about 15 minutes from the centre. Thu Thiem, beside it, was cleared for high-rise redevelopment and is planned to host the city's international financial centre and new administrative centre. Metro Line 1 stops at An Phu.
Stays in or near Thao Dien and Thu Thiem (An Khanh)
A planned urban area along Nguyen Van Linh Boulevard in the former District 7, recognised as a model urban area in 2008 and known for its expatriate bar and restaurant scene. Large shopping centres with playgrounds and rooftop gardens make it practical for families, though you will rely on taxis and ride-hailing to reach the centre.
Stays in or near Phu My Hung (Saigon South)
Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is only about 8 km from the city centre, and the main buses are air-conditioned: route 152 is a regular city bus and route 109 is an express service, with tickets sold in the terminal. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are the alternative; allow extra time in rush hours (roughly 07:00–08:30 and 16:30–18:00).
Metro Line 1, opened in December 2024, runs from Ben Thanh to Suoi Tien and the new eastern bus terminus in about 30 minutes, with trains every 8–12 minutes from 05:00 to 22:00. Gates accept contactless Visa and Mastercard, and stations have English signage and lifts. Elsewhere, use Grab, Xanh SM or be for cars and motorbike taxis; for metered taxis, Mai Linh and Vinasun are the companies most often recommended. Have addresses written in Vietnamese, as many drivers speak little English.
Day and monthly metro tickets are sold through the HURC app, and reloadable smart cards are available from station machines. AEON Citimart runs around 22 supermarkets across the city, and the larger shopping centres in Phu My Hung cover most household needs.
Ben Thanh Market trades from about 06:00 to 18:00 and then becomes a night market until 22:00. English is widely spoken among younger residents, and the city's Chinese community in Cholon, its Chinatown, adds Cantonese and Teochew to the mix. Ride-hailing motorbike taxis are the quickest way through traffic. If you are continuing north, compare our pages for Hanoi and the rest of Vietnam.
The city has a tropical climate with two seasons. The dry season runs from December to May, and December to February is the most comfortable period, with lower temperatures and humidity. March and April are the hottest months and can reach 40°C. The wet season, roughly May to October, brings heat, humidity and heavy showers, with spells of sunshine in between.
The biggest event is Tet (Lunar New Year) in January or February, when Nguyen Hue in the city centre is turned into a flower street lined with displays.
Most visitors still call the centre Saigon, the city's name before 1975. The old downtown on the west bank of the Saigon River has the colonial landmarks, markets and nightlife; across the river lie Thao Dien and the new Thu Thiem quarter, and the planned Phu My Hung district to the south suits families.
