A lovely calm street

The book street is basically a pedestrian only street that sells books. Passerbys are shaded under the trees that line the street and are greeted by the calm of the area. You can then enjoy this tranquility in the many cafes of the area; you can sip coffee while enjoying a nice book. The street is also very centrally located so you won't be far from other sites of the city. In fact you might miss it and overlook it if you quickly walk through. Overall a nice place to wind down and enjoy the calm in this bustling city. #localescapes #hochiminhcity #vietnam #travel #explore

Ho Chi Minh City Book Street

Amazing place! This is the first time I've found a really cool location like this. The vibe feels very different and calm even though many people are passing by. There is a special bookstore area here and there are many unique shops here providing a variety of books, although each shop is not very large, it has its own characteristics and uniqueness. There are cafes where you can read books while also providing free books to read. Apart from the cafe, there is also a free area in the middle, so you can sit down, just rest or read a book.

Ho Chi Minh City Book Street

Nice hidden oasis near the post office to get away from maddening crowd. But it’s a short street, so not worth making a special trip unless you are in the area. Worth a stroll. Very cute. As the name suggests, books but there are a few other shops too. You can also grab a coffee and enjoy the atmosphere. Most books are in Vietnamese. I Would definitely recommend going there if you are nearby. It is located Right next to Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral Square. #travel #adventure #urbanexplorer

Adventures and iconic tours Ho Chi Mihn City

My relatives first time visit to Ho Chi Minh city. Brought them to Mekong River Tours which included Honey bee place, coconut candy factory & boat ride through Mekong River. They had fabulous times & enjoyed every second of it. The next day I brought them to HCM city tour which included visit to War Museum, HCM Post Office & walk about HCM Book Street. They just love the historical part of Vietnam War. Took lots of pictures. Last but not least the shopping sprees in Ben Thanh Market which mostly cheap where they bought Muslim attires & goodies for their loved ones at home. They had to stop coz’ they don’t want to pay extra luggage fees! They loved HCM so much & decided to visit again🤭

Ho Chi Minh City Book Street 📚

#winhkflight Located in the heart of the city, Ho Chi Minh City book street, stretching 100 meters from Hai Ba Trung street to Notre Dame Cathedral, deeply impresses not only book lovers but also regular tourists. Besides immersing yourself in the book world, you can sit down and enjoy a sip of drink in the calming atmosphere. The place is also very close to some must-see destinations in Ho Chi Minh City. It is one of the oldest streets in the city. Back in the French colonial period, the road was known as Hong Kong Street. On February 21, 1897, it was renamed Cardis. After that, on October 19, 1955, the street’s name was once again changed to Nguyen Hau. Since July 4, 2000, it has been called Nguyen Van Binh Book Street until today. It was named after Mr. Nguyen Van Binh, a famous intellectual in Vietnamese history. If you need a space to sit down and slowly read a book while sipping a drink, Ho Chi Minh City Book Street is the perfect spot for you. I want to travel to Hong Kong to city walk and have coffee in iconic street!

Ho Chi Minh City Book Street

#hochiminhcity I wish every city had a book street - we visited twice, once during the week and once on the weekend. During the week it was a beautiful, quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. A place to sit and contemplate amongst the trees and books. On the weekend it was full of so many families and kids - it was really joyful! I’m not normally a big fan of noise and crowds of children, but seeing so many kids excited by books was hard not to be happy about. There are 2 cafes on book street, both are open air and cooled by fans. So if you’re struggling with the heat there is somewhere to cool down and buy a cold drink, but no air-conditioning.

A place for book lovers

#hochiminhcity One of the best places to visit in Ho Chi Minh City. Located right beside must visit places like the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Post Office. There a few coffee shops which are very nice and offers good photo opportunties. Some stores sell English books (though most of the books are in Vietnamese). There are book launches done here - usually on Sunday mornings. Art exhibits are also displayed here. PRO TIP: There is a BLUE library bus in the middle of the strert where you can borrow and read books for free.

📚 Ho Chi Minh's Book Street 📚

#hochiminhcity One great thing about tourist spots in Ho Chi Minh is that they are close to each other. After visiting Saigon Post Office, the famous Book Street is only a walking distance away. The Book Street can easily be recognized due to the arc entrance. The street is lined up with shops selling books, stationery, and souvenirs. Coffee shops and cafes can also be found here if you’re needing a break from all the walking around. The street is pedestrian only thus allowing for tables and seating to be setup in the middle of the road. Even though the books here aren’t in English, I still definitely enjoyed looking through stationeries for souvenirs. I bought postcards and stickers to add to my collection. Also the street is worth visiting just for the atmosphere and peaceful surroundings. The street is also lined up with trees so it was not hot when we visited. I would definitely come back if I had a longer stay in the city. #tripblazers #saigon #bookstreet #hcmc #vietnam #travel
