This national relic witnessed many major historical events as it was an important headquarter of the Saigon government. The photograph of a Vietnamese army tank smashing the palace\u2019s gate to facilitate the Communist force getting in on April 30, 1945, later became iconic. The Reunification Palace architecture is typical of the 60s Western and Eastern styles. Nowadays, you can reach most areas of the place ranging from meeting rooms, the telecommunications center, the warren of tunnels to the President\u2019s chamber with the displays of artifacts and artworks.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notre_Dame_Cathedral\"><\/span>Notre Dame Cathedral<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9706\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9706\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9706\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Aerial-view-of-Notre-Dame-Cathedral-Basilica-of-Saigon-e1582794378931.jpg\" alt=\"Ho Chi Minh to Mui Ne - Best 5 Ways to Travel\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Lux Travel DMC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Location: 01 Cong Xa Paris, District 1.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Opening hours: 6:00 &#8211; 20:00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just a few steps from the Reunification Palace, The Notre Dame Cathedral is one of the remaining sites of Catholicism constructed by the French colonists in Vietnam.
