Ho Chi Minh City Book Street

Book Street in Ho Chi Minh City can be a delightful haven for book lovers and also souvenir hunters. Nestled in a vibrant area, this charming street offers an extensive selection of mostly Vietnamese and also some English-language books, spanning various genres. There are several bookstores lining the street, which also sell interesting souvenirs and handicrafts, ceramics, which are also cheaper and different than the ones we saw at the Saigon Post Office. It's also at a great spot as there are many eateries and coffee outlets nearby to grab a coffee or a bite. You can also enjoy some quiet reading time at the book street having grabbed a coffee to sip on. If you're in the city and love books or even if you don’t, Book Street is definitely worth a visit!

What an enchanting place - we could not believe after stepping less than 5m into this street, how quiet and peaceful it is. Chilled relaxed vibes with cute places to sit and read, eat or just relax. Great variety of boutiques selling trinkets and souvenirs and just a great place if you are into photography. If in Saigon, a place definitely worth a visit!

Ho Chi Minh City boasts an enjoyable mild climate year-round, characterized by warm temperatures and a pleasant atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for visitors in any season. One advantage of the mild climate is that it allows for a variety of outdoor activities year-round.So in Ho Chi Minh, we speak Vietnamese, of course, but also French, English, and many other languages (Japanese, Korean, Spanish, German).Ho Chi Minh led a long and ultimately successful campaign to make Vietnam independent. He was president of North Vietnam from 1945 to 1969, and he was one of the most influential communist leaders of the 20th century. His seminal role is reflected in the fact that Vietnam's largest city is named for him.From ancient pagodas to towering skyscrapers, this city offers a unique blend of traditional charm and modern vibrancy. As one of the most visited destinations in Southeast Asia, Ho Chi Minh City is renowned for its warm hospitality and rich cultural heritage.

This is heaven for book lover, i came here at night, some store already closed, there were some musicians sing in the stage, and still many people enjoyed this place. Also you can see some painting in the street. This place beside sell books also sell postcard, bag, or any other souvenirs. Or you can just sit and relax here. Love the vibe!

Ho Chi Minh City Book Street is a charming pedestrian street dedicated to book lovers and anyone seeking a peaceful respite from the bustling city. The street's architecture is a blend of old and new, with colonial buildings juxtaposed with modern structures. The overall aesthetic is charming and inviting. This charming pedestrian street is lined with bookstores, cafes, and small shops, offering a peaceful escape from the city's noise and crowds. I loved browsing through the various bookstores and discovering new titles. The cafes offer a cozy atmosphere to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while reading. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the Saigon Central Post Office. If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing spot to escape the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, I highly recommend visiting Ho Chi Minh City Book Street.

Several book publishers. You can buy books in several languages, with some second hand and discounted books. Other arts and small trinkets available too. There are some coffee shops within the streets, and benches in the middle of the road. There are treets acting as shade, but could be hot in the middle of the day. No tickets needed, generally an open space. Several airconditioned establishments nearby.

A book lover's paradise in the heart of District 1 HCMC with several shops offering English books and affordable souvenirs. Each store has its unique charm and aesthetic, with cozy cafés for coffee and snacks. Weekends feature fun activities for all ages. Perfect for literary exploration and relaxation.

Being an avid reader this was a must visit place for me while being in Ho Chi Minh City and it didnt disappoint. Its situated 10-15 mins near District 1 with many attractions nearby. The street itself is not spread over more than 1 km but there are many small bookshops and cafes themed on book reading etc. Many artists are doing live art like making caricatures and drawings which are an excellet memorablia. The bookstores have many beautiful and unique souvenirs, unique bookmarks, artistic postcards, wall hangings, drawings,paintings, tote bags etc. Most of the books are in vietnamese lanaguage with exception of two bookstores (each being at end of either side of the street). But to my dismay most of the English books were sold out and shopkeepers explained that TeT holiday just ended and many people visited and bought books. Good to see book reading culture of vietnam. If you have time, spend a a quiet relaxed afternoon here..
