Tourists can also visit The Cafe Apartments, a modern box-shaped building that has been retained since the 1960s and is located on Nguyen Hue walking street. Currently, this is an area of uniquely decorated cafes, bars, and shops worth experiencing further in Ho Chi Minh City.

For history lovers, the War Remnants Museum is a must-see attraction, offering insight into the history of the city.

Besides, Do Phu coffee shop is an ideal historical rendezvous for tourists who want to discover more about Vietnam since wartime. Do Phu Coffee used to be a secret wartime bunker and weapons warehouse for the Vietnamese people, associated with the secret operations of the Saigon Rangers.

The article’s author also suggests that tourists visit street food markets such as Binh Tay and Phung Hung markets during their journeys. If they want to enjoy high-class cuisine, they can visit the Michelin-starred restaurant An An Saigon.

Vietnamese Football Club Ordered to Pay $73,000 to Slovakian Team for Player Training Expenses

“We have successfully completed the transfer of fines and compensation to the designated recipient, effectively resolving the issue,” said Ngo Quoc Ta, Chairman of SHB Da Nang FC, a top-tier V-League 1 team in Vietnam, in an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday. “The incident has served as a valuable lesson for our club and other professional football clubs,” Ta added.

Tiep, who was born in Slovakia in 1996 and trained at FC Banik Prievidza, a team in the Slovak third-tier league, since the age of 12, joined SHB Da Nang on a trial basis in early 2019 and eventually secured a two-year contract.
