A self guided audio tour of Ho Chi Minh.
Ho Chi Minh City moves at a speed all its own. Motorbikes pour through every gap in the traffic, street food fills the air with something good, and French colonial facades sit easy next to glittering towers and neighbourhood temples. The old name Saigon still feels right here, because this is a city with too much personality to belong entirely to any single era.
In the app, 62 stops in Ho Chi Minh are narrated aloud, about 1h 45m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 81 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
