Part of the daily tour that we took. Need to go early as it closes at 10.30 am. Long walk under the shade, well kept gardens and alleys. A large memorial with high security and guards, very austere. Need to be properly dressed. No bagpacks, cameras allowed inside. although a lot of people, it goes pretty fast when in the... More

I enjoyed seeing how the groups of children of all ages from about 18 months old plus locals and all of us tourists, being lined up in long lines of two. The children are taken there twice a year to pay their respects. The grounds were lovely.

The organisation and slightly unnerving presence of white uniformed guards was impressive along with the obvious admiration and respect for this great man. Long long queues under cover walkways lead you slowly to the austere, cool and silent chamber where he lies. Hint...they take all backpacks etc off you before the 1/2 mile walk in baking temps even your water.... More

A large memorial where the Vietnamese leader read the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945. Right in the middle of Ba Dinh Square. Its one of those must see places.

Very well organised, grounds are beautifully maintained. The queue moved very quickly, especially when you reached inside and went around the coffin

We were advised by our hotel to get there early as it takes a while to get in and it closes at 1030. We queued for about half an hour and luckily were under the shade so it wasn't too bad. There were lots of school groups who went straight through, we were ok with that, but we found that... More

The architecture is beautiful. But we could only have a look at the outside of the building at a distance.

You need to be early to visit this place because it closes at 11am. Lots of tourist and locals lining up to enter the mausoleum where Vietnam's beloved former President Ho Chi Minh is embalmed and covered with a glass box. Security is tight and it is everywhere. Everyone is to walk in a 2 x 2 line starting from... More
