Must-Do Experiences in Ho Chi Minh City You’ll Regret Missing

Imagine landing in Ho Chi Minh City… and your phone dies. No Google Maps in the chaotic streets, no Grab to escape the heat, no way to share that perfect sunset over the Saigon River. Don’t let that happen.

This city hits you with energy the moment you step outside: steaming phở at hidden stalls, secret tunnels that changed history, rooftop bars glowing above a million motorbikes, and the strongest iced coffee on earth. From crawling through the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels to watching the skyline explode in color from Bitexco Tower, every hour feels like a movie scene.

But without reliable internet, you’re lost in the maze - overpaying for taxis, missing the best street food spots, or stuck offline when you need it most.

Here are the absolute best things to do in HCMC (the ones locals don’t want tourists to overcrowd): War Remnants Museum, Ben Thanh night market feasts, sunset river cruises, hidden coffee alleys, and more, all waiting for you.

Stay connected the smart way with a Viettel travel eSIM (instant activation at the airport, blazing 5G everywhere, zero stress).

How Many Times Can Viettel eSIM QR Code Be Used: Policy for 2025

Image
  In 2025, Viettel has reinforced a strict one-time-use policy for tourist eSIM QR codes to ensure secure and hassle-free connectivity for international travelers. Each QR code acts as a unique activation key that can be scanned only once, linking the eSIM profile permanently to the device used during the first installation. After activation, the QR code becomes invalid and cannot be reused under any circumstances — not even on the same device after a factory reset, software update, data wipe, or accidental deletion of the eSIM profile. If travelers switch to a new phone, lose the physical QR code, or mistakenly remove the installed eSIM, Viettel requires them to obtain a completely new eSIM. Replacement options are readily available at Viettel service counters located in major international airports across Vietnam, as well as at official Viettel stores nationwide. While the original tourist eSIM cannot be reissued or re-downloaded, staff at Viettel stores can instead provide a do...

However, performance depends on device compatibility, correct settings, and proper troubleshooting. Most flagship Android phones such as Samsung Galaxy S and Z series, Google Pixel, Xiaomi 13/14, OPPO Find X, and OnePlus 11/12 support Viettel 5G.
