Central Post Office

A love letter to architecture

The Central Post Office remains one of Saigon’s most photogenic buildings. Ornate details, vaulted ceilings, and vintage phone booths transport visitors to a bygone era.

The Central Post Office, situated in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, is a stunning architectural gem built between 1886 and 1891. Designed by the renowned Gustave Eiffel, the building features a vaulted roof and arched windows, reminiscent of Europe’s early railway stations. Inside, an imposing portrait of Ho Chi Minh adds a historic and cultural touch to this iconic landmark.
