Bitexco Financial Tower

Visiting this place is definitely worth the 360 degree view you get. They also have a brief history from when the tower was built and some about traditional Vietnamese clothes. There are some areas that are nice to take photos of and you can see lots of the different landmarks in the city. You also get a bottled water free when you get the ticket.

Bitexco Financial Tower is definitely worth a visit if you're in Ho Chi Minh City. The building itself is super impressive, and the views from the Saigon Skydeck are incredible. You can see the entire city and the river, which looks especially beautiful at sunset. There’s also a cool vibe inside the tower with shops and restaurants. If you have time, grab a drink at one of the bars—it’s a little pricey, but the views are totally worth it. It’s a great spot to take some photos, chill for a bit, and soak in the city from above. Definitely a highlight of my trip!

Definitely a beautiful building that can be seen from anywhere in the city centre. The price for visiting the observation deck is reasonable. When you purchase a ticket you can stay as long as you want and you don't have to make a reservation. I only have one comment, unfortunately the bar is closed. In 2018 on my last visit, the bar was free to visit for consumption. I remember the bar was a few floors up. Unfortunately, now you only get water and you can't buy anything else. My question is, does it really not pay to run a bar in such a crowded place? It’s a shame…

I went there because of Watsons on the ground level. It's the 2nd tallest building in Saigon, we can see it, and an easy walk from our hotel. The Tower has a simple lobby. The lower floors have a shoe bazaar, a famous hotpot from China - 海底捞 Haidilao that offers free nail polish service.

The tower is owned by Bitexco Group, a Vietnamese multi-industry corporation, with a focus on real estate development. The building also houses the Ho Chi Minh City office of Bitexco Group, while its headquarters are in Hanoi. The tower was designed by Carlos Zapata, Design Principal and Founder of Carlos Zapata Studio, with French company AREP as architect of record. Designer Zapata, who was born in Venezuela but is based in New York City, drew inspiration for this skyscraper's unique shape from Vietnam's national flower, the Lotus. The tower was officially inaugurated on 31 October 2010. In 2013, CNN named the Bitexco Financial Tower one of the 25 Great Skyscraper Icons of Construction.In 2015, Thrillist named the Bitexco Financial Tower the #2 Coolest Skyscraper in the World.

Nice views of Ho Chi Minh city on the 49th floor. It is in my opinion a bit pricey for a view. It is informative about different landmarks locations but so is Google map. Anyhow if you have time to kill and it's too hot at least this is air-conditioned

Great spot to visit. We didn't go to the restaurant but did go to the skydeck. Great view. You can buy tickets on the spot when you walk in the entrance at street level. English speaking people at the counter. Up top it's a large area to walk around for a 360° view of Ho Chi Minh, complimentary water bottles, clean washrooms and a small gift shop.

I always like to go up a tower and get an idea of the local layout. This is the 400th tallest building in the world and the tallest building in Ho Chi Minh. Very efficient - bought tickets, shown to lift, shown out of the lift - walked around - very good views and plenty of photo opportunities. Little exhibition of Women’s dresses. Stayed about half an hour then down again.
