HCMC view from Bitexco Financial Tower
One of my favorite plans in any city is to visit the highest building available and get the best possible panoramic view. Yesterday when I was walking in HCM I noticed a very tall tower in the horizon. When I got closer this tower turned out to be the Bitexco Financial Tower. At 262 meters, this is the highest building in Saigon.
Here you can either visit the Skydeck on the 49th floor or go to the EON coffee on the 50th floor and get a coffee (Swiss prices). Even if the plan is pricey for HCM standards, the view is worth it. I arrived at dawn and I was able to take a couple pictures when it was getting dark:
