About Nguyễn Huệ Street

When the light drops, Nguyễn Huệ takes on a different mood for strolling. The wide axis runs from the area of the People's Committee building toward the Saigon River, lined with shops, cafés and tall buildings.

Look up as well: old apartment buildings house businesses, including cafés. At the end near the river, use the proper crossings; the pedestrian space in the middle doesn't turn the surrounding streets into a pedestrian zone. Pick a table and let the evening arrive.
