War Remnants Museum
Bảo tàng Chứng tích Chiến tranh
Is it worth visiting? Yes, it is the city's most visited museum and the clearest introduction to the war's human cost. Some galleries, especially on Agent Orange, are very graphic: plan two hours and some quiet time afterwards. Tickets are cheap and can now be bought online to skip the queue.
Current status
Since 10 February 2026 tickets can be bought online at ticket.baotangchungtichchientranh.vn: choose a time slot, pay, and scan the emailed QR code at the entrance (SGGP).

Why go
- Photo galleries by war photographers from many countries, including those who died covering the conflict.
- Tanks, aircraft and artillery in the courtyard, and a reconstruction of the 'tiger cage' prison cells.
- A 10-minute walk from the Independence Palace, so the two fit into one morning.
How to get there
- Walk: about 15 minutes from Ben Thanh Market, 10 minutes from the Independence Palace.
- Metro Line 1: Ben Thanh station, then walk about 15 minutes.
- Ride-hailing: ask for “Bảo tàng Chứng tích Chiến tranh”.
Local tips
- Go at opening time: tour groups fill the galleries from mid-morning.
- Start on the top floor and work down; the hardest galleries are on the upper floors and you can skip them.
- It may not suit young children; parents often see the courtyard and ground floor only.
