Saigon Central Post Office

Sight4.4 · 5 7154 · 17 381≈ 30 minFree entry1.9 km from the center

A working post office in central Saigon, built in 1886-1891 to a design by Alfred Foulhoux. Beneath a vast iron-framed dome hang two historic maps — a plan of Saigon from 1892 and a chart of Indochina's telegraph lines from 1936. Wooden telephone booths and counters survive inside, and tourists still send postcards to any corner of the world from here.

Highlights

  • Victorian dome and 19th-century maps
  • Still a working post office
  • Postcards sent from antique counters
