Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 15-minute walk or 5-minute ride from the apartment:

• Ben Thanh Market: Ho Chi Minh City’s most famous covered market, just 10 minutes away on foot. Browse hundreds of stalls selling handcrafted silk goods, traditional coffee, spices, and souvenirs, then grab a plate of crispy banh xeo (Vietnamese crispy pancake) or phở from one of the market’s legendary street food vendors for an authentic local meal.
• Bitexco Financial Tower: A 12-minute walk from the property, this iconic skyscraper boasts a glass-floored observation deck on the 49th floor, offering panoramic views of the Saigon River and the city’s sprawling skyline. Stop for a coffee at the rooftop cafe to watch the sunset over the city.
• Nguyễn Huệ Walking Street: A 10-minute walk from ZO Apartment, this tree-lined pedestrian boulevard runs from the Saigon River to the city’s historic People’s Committee Building. It’s the best spot to soak up local life, catch weekend street performances, and snap photos of Ho Chi Minh City’s elegant colonial architecture.

Travel Tips

Book directly through the property or major booking platforms to confirm pool and gym access, which is included for all guests. If you’re traveling with a rental car or scooter, reserve a parking spot on-site in advance if possible, though walk-ins are usually accommodated for the daily fee. The Cô Giang neighborhood is packed with craft coffee shops and street food stalls within 2 minutes of the apartment, so you won’t need to travel far for a great breakfast. Grab a Grab bike or car for trips further afield—rides to the War Remnants Museum and Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica cost less than $2 USD from here. For longer stays, take advantage of the in-unit kitchen and washing machine to cut down on dining and laundry costs, making ZO Apartment SOHO one of the best value stays in central Ho Chi Minh City.
