Ben Thanh Market and the Backpackers District
Located in the center of downtown, the Ben Thanh Market was built in 1912, though its origins date to the 17th century. Just to the west lays the "Backpackers District", offering up all manner of drinks and delights. Ben Thanh and the Backpacker's District are two of Saigon's most famous sights. We hated them both.
