Saigon's most iconic market — a 1914 landmark packed with food, clothing, and souvenirs.
About this place
Ben Thanh Market is the most recognizable symbol of Saigon and one of the city's earliest surviving structures. Built in 1914, it houses hundreds of stalls selling fresh produce, clothing, handicrafts, and souvenirs. The market is a sensory overload in the best possible way. While some prices are tourist-inflated, bargaining is part of the experience.
💡 Local Tips
Bargain hard — start at 40% of the asking price. Buy street food inside early morning for the freshest produce.
