    I like history, so enjoyed seeing the inside of this building and reading about its usage towards the end of the war with the America. It only takes about an hour to go through it, and placards are in English, as well as Vietnamese.

    If I only had one day in Saigon, this would not have been at the top of my list, but if you have a second or third day, it’s worth it.

    This attraction is a short walk from the Saigon Notre Dame Museum. about 5-7minutes away. Along the way are huge pots with beautiful flowering plants. Public access to this government building is not allowed. Its exteriors are beautiful, with intricate moldings and designs.

    Took several photos here before going to the Garden across from it

    Unfortunately the former CIA building is no longer accessible - the security guard would not allow access under any circumstances!

    Not sure if we would have found this without our guide, but so glad we went. This building is a remarkable piece of history, and you can even climb down into the cellar and up into the attic. Surprised that our 13 year-old daughter really connected with this place.
