Saigon is a city that rewards curiosity more than planning. The itinerary you arrive with will probably fall apart by day two \u2014 not because things go wrong, but because you’ll find something better than what you planned: a street you weren’t supposed to turn down, a market that only exists on Tuesday mornings, a rooftop nobody told you about. That said, some structure helps. This guide covers the non-negotiables first, then goes deeper into what makes Saigon worth staying longer.<\/p>\n
