Saigon Central Post Office
Bưu điện Trung tâm Sài Gòn
The Saigon Central Post Office is a working post office opposite the Notre-Dame cathedral in central Ho Chi Minh City, in a building Wikidata dates to 1891.
Why go
The Saigon Central Post Office (Bưu điện Trung tâm Sài Gòn) is still a post office, mapped in OpenStreetMap as one; Wikidata gives 1891 as its inception. Vietnam's national tourism authority describes it as standing opposite the cathedral and invites visitors to stroll inside, where it describes a large foyer lined with old wooden telephone booths, historic maps on the walls and a large portrait of Ho Chi Minh. This record is the building, not the postal service. Opening times and visitor rules are not stated here.
