Southern Vietnam offers diverse travel experiences
A Southern Vietnam Tour 7 days will guide you through the warmth of southern lands, which lies not only in the tropical climate, but also in the smiles of market vendors, the lively energy of riverside towns, and the relaxed pace of island life.
Whether you’re looking for a dynamic lifestyle in Saigon, a peaceful, rustic escape to the Mekong Delta’s lush waterways, or tranquil landscapes in Phu Quoc’s palm-fringed beaches, Southern Vietnam can cater to it all. Thanks to its sunny weather, friendly locals, and a rich cultural mix shaped by centuries of trade and migration, your trip to South Vietnam will be full of excitement and discovery that you won’t forget.
Southern Vietnam's cuisine is as colorful and generous as the region itself. Dishes here are a perfect blend of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy, utilizing fresh herbs and tropical ingredients. During your South Vietnam Tour 7 days, you’ll have a chance to check out the local food map: from signature Vietnamese broken rice (Com tam) served with fish sauce, and crispy Vietnamese pancake (Banh xeo) stuffed with shrimp and bean sprouts, to grilled river fish wrapped in fragrant leaves.
If your journey through Southern Vietnam takes you to the Mekong Delta, remember to make time for a bowl of boat noodles at a local floating market. Savoring steaming hu tieu, laden with shrimp, tender pork, quail eggs, and a rich broth simmered from pork bones, while the lively calls of vendors drift across the water, is a unique snapshot of river life that many tourists won’t forget.

The first stop on your South Vietnam Tour 7 days is Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, the name that is still fondly called by many locals. Unlike the “breath of history” of Hanoi, HCMC is considered a “young” and dynamic city, whose charms lie in its rush lifestyle, colonial buildings, and modern skyscrapers.
You can start your journey with a dive into the city’s colonial charm and historical landmarks. First, head to Independence Palace, the end mark of the resistance war against the US and its puppet government Republic of Vietnam. This building used to serve as the residence and workplace for many generations of French governors and the Presidents of the puppet state.
These days, you can wander through the spacious halls to admire its meticulous French architecture and watch the historic items, well-preserved in their original state. Don’t forget to take a look at the helicopter that once landed here in April 1975 on the rooftop helipad.

From here, it’s just a short walk to the War Remnants Museum. This place displays a huge collection of relics, videos, documents, and military vehicles, which tell sobering stories about war victims and condemn the invaders’ inhumanity and cruel crimes during the wars in Vietnam. If you want to know more about the history and resilient spirit of the Vietnamese, these places are perfect choices. However, be prepared for the harsh truths you may see here.
Other highlights in Ho Chi Minh City include the Saigon Central Post Office (with impressive Gothic and Renaissance architectural style), Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral (a distinctive building covered in red bricks), Ben Thanh Market (a long-lasting market that sells almost everything), and more.

After visiting iconic landmarks during the day, let’s spend time chilling out and immersing in the vibrant nightlife of Ho Chi Minh City. If you prefer a place to chat with friends and sightseeing the entire city from above, head to the Bitexco Tower. Here, you can sip a latte while watching Saigon stretch endlessly in every direction. The view is even more mesmerizing at night with thousands of twinkling lights, making the city look like the Starry Night of Van Gogh from above.
Otherwise, for those who prefer another way to explore, a Saigon River dinner cruise sounds interesting enough. The chaos of traffic fades into the distance as you dine under the stars, with live music and dance weaving through the warm evening breeze, and the skyline glowing on the horizon.

For the next 3 days, make your South Vietnam Tour 7 days even more memorable by visiting Phu Quoc, also known as the Pearl Island of Vietnam. You’ll temporarily leave the bustle and hustle of Saigon behind and head to the tranquil waters, dense forests, and unique cuisine of Phu Quoc that conquers many visitors’ hearts.
During your time here, spend time freely exploring the untouched beauty of the emerald waters in sandy beaches and discovering more about the unfolding aspects of this tropical haven in Vietnam. Phu Quoc is absolutely a paradise for beach lovers thanks to numerous picturesque beaches, like Bai Dai, Bai Ganh Dau, Bai Sao, and more.
You can take a swim, walk along the shore, or simply relax under the palm trees with a chilled coconut in hand. If you’re feeling adventurous, book a snorkeling or diving tour to discover the lively marine world, from colorful parrotfish to graceful sea urchins.

At night, head to a local night market for a seafood feast: grilled scallops with spring onions, buttered squid, and freshly steamed crab are local specialties. Each bite contains the fresh scent of the ocean, along with the special seasonings and sauce recipes, which will definitely satisfy even the most picky eaters.
Besides exciting beach activities, Phu Quoc also offers fascinating cultural-historic experiences. For those who want to learn more about Vietnamese history, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Phu Quoc Prison, where you can witness the cruelty of colonialism and listen to sobering stories about the resilient spirit of the Vietnamese people.
