ho chi minh city book street is lowkey a whole vibe tucked away in district 1. this pedestrian-only lane is an good place for book lovers, with its charming french colonial buildings housing everything from indie publishers to cozy cafes. the aesthetic is total eye candy. lush greenery, strings of fairy lights, and rows of bookshelves that make you feel like you've stepped into a literary dream. it's the perfect spot to post up with a new read, people-watch, or just soak in the quiet creative energy. they often host book launches and art events, so there's always something fresh popping off. no cap, this place hits different when you need a peaceful escape from the saigon chaos. don't forget to ❤️.

This is another famous (yet small) street in this city. And it has a very nice vibe here. Lots of green, cafés with outdoor seating and of course lots of book shops. It's a pretty short walk though, but worth checking out. And to dig a bit around in the shops. They've got quite some in foreign languages as well. Many in French (comics as well). At the time we've visited there was also a stage with an author reading. Not sure it's a regular thing though. We only bought a couple of notebooks and a bag. But it was fun, really has a positive atmosphere here. And it's visited by both locals and visitors. At the end of it you will see the Notre Dame. Another big sight of this city. Currently under construction though. And the famous Post Office is also just around the corner.

A hidden gem next to the Saigon Post Office Right beside the Saigon Post Office, you'll find this charming book street that's honestly such a pleasant surprise. It's a short alley packed with bookstores, cafes, art shops, and toy stores - something for everyone regardless of age. Even though the street isn't very long, you'll want to stop at every single shop. There's so much to see - books from local and international publishers, notebooks, sketchbooks, and all kinds of art. One thing that really caught my eye was the paper art cards. They're super unique and would make perfect gifts. The cafes along the street are great for taking a break. Grab a coffee or juice, have a snack, and just people-watch. There are also benches scattered throughout if you need to rest your feet. Each store has its own personality, so take your time and pay attention to the small details. You'll definitely find something special. It's also an excellent spot to pick up souvenirs that aren't the typical tourist stuff. If you enjoy browsing books, art, and cozy street vibes, don't skip this place. You'll fall in love with it.

A Very aestetic street to visit, I like this area. Warm tone vibes, there are also alot of bookstore to choose, you can also sit somewhere else and just enjoy the vibes, many international tourist, I would say, this street is pretty much touristic. I like it and and I would recommend this place if you have no Idea where to go

Today my girlfriend and I brought my kids and mom to Ho Chi Minh City’s Book Street, and it turned out to be such a pleasant little outing. The whole street is filled with colorful bookshops, mini photo spots, and plenty of places to take nice pictures — we managed to get quite a few good ones. What I love most is how family-friendly the place is. There’s a small free playground for kids to run around and burn some energy while the adults take a break. Right beside it is a cosy café where you can sit, relax, and enjoy a drink while watching the kids play. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot to stroll, take photos, or just spend time with family in the middle of the city, Book Street is a great choice. #hochiminh #vietnam #bookstreet

Great place to visit for both tourists and locals. It’s not a long street, but perfect for a quick walk and enjoying the unique, traditional-style book street. No motorbikes or cars, completely walk-only, which I love. A quiet little spot right in the busy city center. There are a few cafés too, where you can sit, relax, and people-watch.

Book street was great. They had an expo about the cranes (birds) and getting some awareness out for them. There were university students helping and asking questions and taking photos of people engaging with the expo. The photographer of the expo was also there for questions. My wife and I got our photo taken by the students it was great. We also brought a book about Vietnam and its places from north to south. We’ll have it on our coffee table so we can show people where we visited and reference places we didn’t take photos of. Also recommend coming when it’s cooler. Theres not a lot of airflow through the street and shops and it was a hot day when we went.

The book street here is really nice, but most tourists visit just to take photos. If you want a good picture, I recommend going early in the morning when it’s not crowded. There are also local clothing brands sold here at affordable prices, and most of the sellers are friendly and easy to talk to. A lovely spot to explore and enjoy the local vibe
