2025 Ben Thanh Market Area Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

🚆Finally, we get the metro in the city! The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as it debuted during the bustling holiday season, when streets are typically jam-packed with traffic and everyone seems to be in a race against time. We started from Ben Thanh Market station to Suoi Tien station, stepped onto the sleek, brightly-lit platform for the first time, there was an undeniable energy in the air—a mixture of curiosity and excitement. The platform was not as crowded as expected because the metro was still in the experiment time before officially launching on Dec.22. It was as if the metro ushered in not just a new mode of transportation but a change in the city’s rhythm itself. #holidayseason #experience #localguides

There is a bunch of ladies sitting in front of this New York Nail & Spa just outside of Ben Thanh market. Do not approach for their services. It’s expensive and they request for mandatory 100,00.00VND tip per person (that served you) afterwards. My nails looked horrible, horrendous and awful. It was patchy and it had a lot of bubbles, I believe the nail polish they have is very old. Also the “foot” massage that they pushed to provide costed us 200,00.00VND per session. I did not feel rejuvenated nor did I feel like it was my money’s worth. She was just pressing on my leg and just pinching my shoulders. I rather get massages in my homeland Posting this here for awareness. If anyone plans to go to HCMC avoid this place at all costs. #scammers
