This is a lovely way to see the city of Saigon with 360 degree views over the river and cityscape. The viewing area is air conditioned and enclosed. One reaches it via a lift. It is 49 floors up and the highest point in Saigon, situated in the Bitexco financial tower. It cost us VND240 per adult. Use the bathroom before going up,there are many in the tower on the way up as there aren’t any at the...

If you like watching city skylines at night. I would recommend it... The view is beautiful and colorful. It's best to go after 6pm when the building and bridge lights get turned on.

The Saigon Skydeck observatory area is fully enclosed inside the glass. Free binoculars available aro...

Very cool! I went at 5:45 so when it was still light and then stayed till it got dark. There’s not anything overly that interesting to look at honestly. I mean the best part in my opinion is the bridge because it lights up in different colours at night time. But it Is always cool to see a city from up above! And they have a history of the area and a list of the tall buildings around the world.

The staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. I grabbed a drink and just hung out for a bit; it was a nice break from the busy streets below. It’s definitely one of those hidden gems in the city that’s wor...
