Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica stands on Paris Square in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, next to the Central Post Office, and it is one of the city's best-known landmarks. The cathedral has been undergoing a long restoration since 2017, with scaffolding around the towers and limited access to the interior, so check the current situation before planning to go inside; the exterior and the square can always be seen.
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Tân Định Church, the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, stands on Hai Bà Trưng Street in the Tân Định area of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, north of the city centre, and it is free to see from outside, while the interior is usually open during masses and at certain times of the day. Painted a vivid pink, it is one of the most photographed churches in Vietnam and a popular stop on city tours. The church is about ten minutes by taxi or motorbike taxi from Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica and the Central Post Office in the city centre.
