Great Skydeck and views of the city! We enjoyed the very easy check in and entry to the Skydeck, and the shop at the top was great too. Could be improved with a bar up there!

The place is easy to reach from the city center and the view of Saigon is superb. I saw it at sunset and when night fell, the city lit up as far as the eye could see, revealing the winding paths of the various waterways, the street lights and those of moving cars, multicolored buildings and bridges illuminated with constantly changing colors. The interactive maps help you find your way around the city, and the view through the floor-to-ceiling windows is amazing, making you feel like you could jump into the void. Personally, I was almost impressed by being able to get so close to the glass. There were also telescopes to see the various parts of the city up close. To top it all off, there was an exhibition on the history of Vietnamese clothing with an interesting video and several beautiful women's dresses on display. In addition, there was an illustrative stand on the traditional art of paper, produced, printed, and painted by hand, with videos, products, and many stamps with traditional subjects, which could be used freely on the beautiful postcards on sale. The staff was extremely kind in providing all the information about it. Bring something to cover yourself because in some places the air conditioning is very cool. On the first floor, there is a restaurant designed especially for young people, with lots of dishes and the option of heating up four different types of soup at the center of the table. I was alone, and the very kind staff pampered me, even offering me a plate of mixed fruit and local gadgets. Overall, I would say it was a top experience!

Being able to see Saigon from the tower all the way around was spectacular. It was fun to pick out the landmarks, like Ben Thanh market. The gift shop had unique, high quality souvinirs.

Everything was good, from the ticketing experience, till the amazing panoramics views. Including skydesk photographers, skydesk teams, etc. We were at night.

See Ho Chi Minh City from 178 metres above, then dive into a centuries-old water puppet show for a lively evening that captures both the city’s scale and its soul.

Saigon Skydeck: Ride up to the 49th floor of Bitexco Financial Tower and take in sweeping skyline views. Use binoculars and interactive touchscreens to spot landmarks, and explore the Ao Dai Museum during your visit.

Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater: Take your reserved seat and watch skilled performers bring Vietnamese folklore to life on a water stage, accompanied by live traditional music.

Plan your evening by choosing your show time first, then visit the Skydeck at your convenience. Both experiences fit smoothly into one well-paced night.
