About
French-era city hall built between 1898 and 1909, now the seat of the city People's Council and People's Committee, at the head of Nguyễn Huệ pedestrian street.
Why go
Architect Fernand Gardès drew inspiration from the Paris city hall: a central clock tower, two symmetrical wings with roofs, and a Renaissance-style relief facade. Standing on Nguyễn Huệ pedestrian street looking toward the building, especially in the early evening, is one of the most familiar scenes in central Saigon. The building has been a national architectural and artistic monument since 2020.
Good to know
It is a working government office, so you can only admire it from outside the fence. The free tours inside have been suspended since early 2025 for renovation, with no reopening date yet.
