In a predominantly Buddhist country, Notre Dame stands tall in the center of Saigon. It was built during the late 1870s-1880s by the French (hence the name) You can visit at anytime, and even attend mass if you desire. Masses are held in Vietnamese and English. Just remember, places tend to shut down during lunchtime, so you won't be able to get into the cathedral around midday.

The General Post Office, adjacent to the Notre Dame cathedral, was built from 1886 to 1891 by by Gustave Eiffel. The architecture style is french colonial. Enter the post office and you'll notice the immense ceilings, it has the feel of a train station. You also can't miss the massive portrait of good old Ho Chi Minh. They sell stamps and souveniers inside.
