• Thich Quang Duc Monument - The statue depicting Thich Quang Duc, the Buddhist monk who set himself on fire in 1963 in protest against the regime of Ngô Đình Diệm. The photos of his sacrifice went around the world.
• Notre-Dame Cathedral - Probably the city's most attractive and iconic colonial monument. Its façade is made of red brick and is crowned by twin towers. It is a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic, and was inaugurated at Easter 1880.
• Post Office Buildings - Characterised by its typical colonial style, with arched windows and green-painted wooden shutters. It is the work of a renowned architect: Gustave Eiffel.
• Opera - This elegant building has a special feature: it is built two metres high to isolate it from the traffic of cars and motorbikes. It was completed in 1898 to a design by the French architect Eugene Ferret.
• Ba Thien Hau Temple - Built in seal style, typical of Chinese architecture. It was built in the 18th century by Chinese immigrants.
