Post Office building Post Office Review

The main Post Office (or in Vietnamise Buu Dien Truong Tam ), stands across from the Notre Dame Cathedral. It was built in the late 19th century in European style. The interior has hardly been touched since it was built and is dominated by a huge portrait of Ho Chi Minh. The building always seems busy but most people are just visitors rather than customers. It is ppen daily from as early as 630 in the morning until 2130 at night.
