Nightlife Spot: Saigon

Saigon at night is simply amazing. It is so fun to just walk around at night and take in the sights. At night the Saigonese get dressed up and cruise on their motorbikes. Vendors take over the sidewalks and offer cheap food and bia hoi into the night.

Although Saigon is touted as a 24 hour city, most of the Vietnamese go home around 11:30 pm. The bars and dance clubs that target tourists still pump well into the night so don't worry about not being entertained.
