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.

Highlights:

Plan an easy Saigon “viewpoint to folklore” pairing: Bitexco’s Skydeck city panorama, then the Golden Dragon’s water-puppet performance.

Saigon Skydeck: Entry to Bitexco Financial Tower’s 49th-floor Skydeck, with interactive touchscreens, binoculars, and the Ao Dai Museum.

Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater: Entry ticket to the show, with optional add-ons like transfers, guide, cyclo ride, and Saigon River dinner cruise.

Works well for a single day: use flexible Skydeck entry to fit around the show’s timed slot.

Variant upgrades available for the puppet show, including transfers and dinner cruise [as per option selected].Additional Highlights:

From the Skydeck, take in wide views of the Saigon River and key city landmarks from the 49th floor.

The Ao Dai Museum showcases traditional Vietnamese attire right inside the Skydeck visit.

At the theater, puppets move across a water stage while live musicians play drums and bamboo flutes.

Short vignettes draw on rural life, legends, and mythological characters in Vietnamese folklore.

The venue was nice and the views were good. However it was brightly lit and hard to take pictures at night. Also the motion sensor bathroom light was a problem. It turned off while I was in the stall and I had to maneuver in the dark.

Two classic Ho Chi Minh City experiences in one booking: skyline views from Bitexco, then Vietnamese folklore on a water stage.

Getting started Start at either venue. Show your mobile ticket at the entrance for validation. Expect security checks at Saigon Skydeck; the puppet show is timed, so arrive before showtime.

You head up to the 49th floor for a full-circle view over Ho Chi Minh City, with tools on hand to help you spot details across the skyline.

Features

Look out over the Saigon River and the city’s landmark-filled centre.

Use interactive touchscreens to identify key sights.

Scan streets and rooftops with binoculars and telescopes.

Step into the Ao Dai Museum to see displays of Vietnam’s national dress.

What to expect

You take your seat in a dedicated theater space and watch traditional stories unfold through puppets moving across a water stage, supported by live music.

Features
