A city in turmoil during the Vietnam War, Saigon, as the locals still call it, is now a lively metropolis packed with temples, grand boulevards, cozy cafes and scooters.

Visit the War Remnants Museum to see photos of the Vietnam War and its aftermath, including a moving exhibit of those affected by chemical herbicides like Agent Orange (28 Vo Van Tan, district 3, 84-8-930-2112).

Eat the three-course lunch at Lemongrass, featuring pineapple or orange Chilean sea bass (4 Nguyen Thiep Street, district 1, 84-8-822-0496). Grab a dessert at the French bakery Pat a Chou (65 Hai Ba Trung, district 1, 84-8-824-5873).
