Yup, if you love taking pictures, this is a great location for that. The souvenirs here are more pricey than Ben Thanh Market, though. They also have numerous ATMs that are safe for cash withdrawals. More

Not too impressed by it, except for its large structure. The tour agency inside had some interesting programmes, but we had our own arrangements.The building seems unique, rather ' cavenous ' inside. More

Situated near a fine church, the building was impressive but there wasn't much to see once you'd gone in... ATM machines in telephone booths, a cafe and some stalls More

Slightly overrated by the tour guides - but its definitely worth a visit to see the architecture. Since its just beside the cathedral, you don't have to go far to visit. Not a fan of the souvenir shops inside the place - but nice place for a picture. More
