Cao Dai Temple and Tay Ninh day trips from Saigon

For being Vietnam’s biggest city, still called Saigon by many: colonial buildings around the cathedral and post office, markets, the War Remnants Museum, street food and the day trips to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta.

Guides give about 40 to 70 km depending on the site, which means roughly 1.5 to 3 hours each way in traffic. Ben Dinh lies closer to the city than Ben Duoc.

Yes, as far as My Tho and Ben Tre, which are roughly 1.5 to 2 hours away. Can Tho and the Cai Rang floating market are about 3.5 hours away, so they need a very early start or a 2-day tour.

No, there is no sea beach in the city. The nearest seaside town on our list is Vung Tau, about two hours by road.

The dry season runs roughly from December to April; May to November is the rainy season, with frequent showers that can be heavy. Plan outdoor sights for the morning in the wet months.

Tan Son Nhat is only 7 to 8 km from the centre, but the ride can take 45 minutes or more at peak times. Our comparison lists tours, not transfers.

No. We compare tours from the GetYourGuide partner feed and you book directly there, with the local operator. Prices and availability are theirs.
