Ho Chi Minh City was called Saigon until 1975, when it was merged with the surrounding province from its position as capital of South Vietnam. People still use the name Saigon, though. |
Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam but not the capital (that's Hanoi). It's a city where you'll find skyscrapers alonside centuries-old pagodas.
We love the food here, which you'll find from street vendors, market stalls and restaurants!
And, of course, the museums here are extraordinary. The War Remnants Museum

The last stop on this "Cultural" adventure 'Round the World is in Rome and it's like we've saved the best for last.
Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world, which we are reminded of every time we see the Parthenon. This 5th century BC temple towers over the modern, social city we know today and is considered a key landmark of early Western civilization.

As for food, who doesn't love Italian? Endless pizza, pasta and gelato!
Rome is located in basically the middle of the country so it's easy to explore the other famous cities like Venice, Florence and Milan! It's interesting to experience each city's uniqueness.
