Cu Chi’s tunnel network was expanded during the Vietnam War as a logistical base and shelter; Ho Chi Minh City’s grand colonial buildings reflect French urban planning from the 19th century.
Conservation
Both Cu Chi and central Saigon manage visitor impact—stay on marked paths, avoid touching exhibits, and minimize litter to support preservation efforts.

Bring a refillable water bottle
Although mineral water is provided, a refillable bottle with a filter reduces plastic waste and keeps you hydrated in heat and humidity.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Tunnel areas have uneven, sometimes muddy footing; closed shoes with good grip make crawling and short walks safer and more comfortable.
Prepare for tight spaces
If you have claustrophobia or mobility limits, opt to observe rather than enter the narrowest tunnels—your guide can show reconstructed sections instead.
Carry small change for souvenirs and tips
Markets and small vendors near the cathedral and post office accept cash; small denominations help with offerings and incidental purchases.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Provides traction and protection for uneven ground at tunnel sites and city sidewalks.
Lightweight sun hat and sunscreen
Protects against strong sun during open-air stops in the city and near tunnel entrances.
