Bitexco Financial Tower

Tickets are required to ride to the observation deck via a very fast elevator. The views are 360 degrees from the observation area. I would definitely go back for evening views now that I know you can see the entire city below. The pleasant surprise is that you can pick up a free bottle of water from the small gift shop counter on this area. This is definitely a must-do visit if you'd like to see a layout of the Saigon River and the surrounding city.

From craning your neck muscles to see where the top of this building is, within seconds you will teleport to up the 48 floors in seconds which the speed will make your eardrums pop. Once you step of the elevator you are greeted with 360 degree views of the sprawling city for as far as the eye can see. Free binoculars provide the ability to see on a street level the happenings in any direction. I glanced in one and witnessed a police officer pulling someone over. Sadly did not see any topless sunbathers on roofs however. You are also provided 1 free bottle of water. A custom it seems in many places here. There is some good history on the city, culture, fashion art and engineering displayed on the walls. Also women working on intricate stick art.

Visiting the Bitexco Financial Tower was something I was looking forward to while in Ho Chi Minh City. The Sky Deck, located on the 49th floor, offers a stunning 360-degree view of the city — a great way to truly appreciate just how vast and dynamic Saigon is. From above, you get uninterrupted panoramic shots of the Saigon River, the bustling streets below, and even a clear view toward Landmark 81 in the distance. There are plenty of photo spots, and I found the glass walls ideal for wide-angle shots. If you’re into cityscape photography, this spot should definitely be on your list. The Sky Deck also has touchscreen panels that provide a quick overview of what you’re looking at, which was a nice touch for orientation. Entry was fairly priced for the experience: Adults pay 200,000 VND, children 100,000 VND, and seniors also get a discounted rate at 130,000 VND (check their official site for updated info). There’s also a café and gift shop at the top for those wanting a drink or souvenir with a view. If you love a skyline or simply want a peaceful break from the busy streets, the Bitexco Sky Deck offers an elegant escape high above the city.

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES, AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF Imagine coming up to 49'th floor in the evening. I guess you (as well as me) expect to see a lovely nightview over Saigon. Instead the whole place is drowned in heavy spotlights, annoying harsh light that reflects in all the windows. Furthermore there is a souvenirshop in the middle - also in heavy spotlights. And last but not least an exibition of an old cyclo - also in heavy EXTREME spotlight that lights up about 25% of the floor. WHY???? I paid the entrance with ONE purpose alone; and that was to enjoy the night. view. So disappointed. 😒👎🏻

Excellent observation deck with great views of Ho Chi Minh City. Friendly staff and not crowded. Definitely worth checking out if you are into sky decks.

Great views of the city from level 49. Very well maintained. well behaved staff. A must visit. Concession for senior citiabove 65

Definitely worth visiting, especially during the night time. You will see a stunning panorama of the city and a few surprises. The viewing deck is located on the 49th floor - 35 sec trip by the fast elevator. Definitely must see place!

The photo edit for the souvenir isn't very smooth. The air inside is cool and chilly, and the staff are friendly. You get drinking water (booked via Klook). This is the 5th most iconic building in the world. A must-visit!
