BEN THANH MARKET OPENING HOURS

Built in 1870 by the French, the market was initially called Les Halles Centrales before being renamed Ben Thanh in 1912. From a wet market created by street vendors by the early 17th century, Ben Thanh has experienced many ups and downs throughout its history and is now the oldest surviving market and one of the symbols of Ho Chi Minh city. That makes it a must for any visitors traveling to this 300-year-old city.

Today, because the market possesses one of the most crucial locations in District 1 (the intersection of Le Loi, Ham Nghi, Tran Hung Dao Avenues and Le Lai Street), transportation is extremely convenient and trade is bustling. In the morning, you can find almost everything from dry food to clothes for a reasonable price. The market atmosphere can sometimes be a real hustle and bustle, but it is an exciting experience after all. However, always remember that bargain is a must in any Vietnamese market.

Ben Thanh Market is one of the most famous landmarks of Ho Chi Minh City. However, you should check how far your hotel from Ben Thanh Market is. You can walk to enjoy the life of this city and do not need any other vehicles such as Grap Car, Grapbike Local Taxi…etc.
