    Amazing museum featuring the deeds of the Vietnamese people in the south! A good simulation of the Cu Chi tunnels with many rooms is also located in the museum.

    Free museum, worth a visit. Very relaxed atmosphere. Will take about twenty minutes to see everything. Mostly from the view of the victorious NVA, however there are some American and French artifacts.

    Amazing, the Cu Chi tunnel experience is great if you do not want to go to the actual tunnels. The museum is in close proximity to the airport so if you have some time to kill before the flight, I would definitely take a look. The staff were so nice and friendly there as well.

    Interesting military museum, showing uniforms and weapons of the Vietnamese Army. The main focus is on the First and Second Indochina Wars. We will find there individual Vietcong / NVA equipment. The Củ Chi Tunnels exhibition is very interesting. Unfortunately, the Ho Chi Minh Trail exhibition was closed :( Museum off the beaten track so I was the only tourists visiting the exhibition. Most of the exhibits are described in English.
