A real variety here with super clean an up market stores to broken pavers on the footpath and rubbish, the drastic changes are what makes it so fascinating. So much to see and you have to stop and watch to fully appreciate, find a coffee store at take a moment.

I like atmosphire here. Specially on weekend, very bustling and crowed but it will be interested for young people.

I have walked this road many times. Your experience will be determined by the time of day and how busy it is. Early morning is quiet, you can appreciate the buildings and architecture. Reminds me of Europe. Later on it gets busy and noisy which adds to the atmosphere but taking photographs then is not so easy. Parts of it are kept clean.

Beautiful wide boulevard built during the French colonial period becomes a gathering place in the median of the boulevard. Luxury shops and hotels and restaurants line the streets.
City Hall, the Opera House and other French architecture can be seen here.
The famed hotel The Majestic Hotel still stands proudly on the waterfront.
One of the most beautiful lobbies can be seen at The Reverie Hotel.
Worth seeing and photographing!

This one-way avenue is Ho Chi Minh City's major thoroughfare. Connecting French colonial architecture with modern skyscrapers, Dong Khoi is still the bustling heart of Saigon. Beware of honking vehicles and motorcycles then a stroll around will be of much fun and interest.

Dong Khoi was very famous during the Vietnam War and named Tu Do Street. You have to visit the Majestic Hotel and Maxim's. Of course the History was Continental Restaurant and Caravelle. I also recall the Brinks BOQ disaster. Not as many Bars as during the war but many restaurants and massage parlors remain. If you like Art, there were plenty of Art Studios. See this area once a week.

The old "Rue Catinat" from the French colonial years has been renamed twice. Firstly, during the period of the Vietnam War, to "Tu Do Street", meaning "Freedom Street". Later, after the War, it was renamed to its actual name - "Dong Khoi Street", or the "Total Revolution Street". No matter the name, it has always been a center of glamour and charm, the true heart of Saigon's, or Ho Chi Minh City's, commercial life. Take your time and walk along this high-end street, from its Southern end, on Saigon River banks, up to "Notre-Dame Square", passing by some historical buildings as "Hotel Continental", "Hotel Majestic", "Grand Hotel", "Palais Café", "Saigon Opera House", "Central Postal Office" and finally, "Notre-Dame Cathedral". Check the top international brands stores, the beautiful cafés and the best restaurants in town! Unmissable! Bring your credt card and enjoy!

I am trying to find a little baby wear shop in Dong Khoi street which sell lots of embroidery and crochet items for baby’s. It is opposite the Grand Hotel just down from lucky plaza.
I cannot remember the name or number of the shop. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi, sorry can't give detail as don't know the shop.
Suggest email or call The Grand Hotel, ask reservations or reception staff as they can probably see the shop across the street.

Sorry. We took a pre-purchased return using our package deal that we purchased with air and hotel. I think it was about $30 for both of us for a prearranged pick up at our hotel at a certain time.
