Bến Thành Market

Why go

The current market building dates from the early twentieth-century move of an older Saigon marketplace. Inside, food, textiles and handicrafts sit close together; outside, the clock tower is one of the most recognizable pieces of the city’s old commercial center. A short browse can show both the architecture and the everyday trade.

What to look for

• The clock tower above the market entrance.
• Food stalls alongside textiles and handicrafts.

Useful to know

• Browse the interior as well as the clock-tower exterior.
• Check the market’s own notices before a holiday or Tết visit; special hours are announced separately.
