"An emblem of the new Vietnam , this 68-story skyscraper, named for a Vietnamese conglomerate and designed by Venezuelan architect Carlos Zapata, is easily identified in Ho Chi Minh City’s skyline—a helipad juts out from near the top, looking a little like a flying saucer crashed into the building. Upon completion in 2010, it was the tallest building in Vietnam; it can no longer claim that title (which now belongs to the Keangnam Hanoi Landmark Tower), but its construction remains an impressive achievement. The 49th-floor wraparound Saigon Skydeck offers expansive views of the river and the city’s concrete sprawl; you'll find the same fine views at the somewhat pricey café-restaurant-bar Eon, located on floors 50, 51, and 52."

The path less travelled: Ho Chi Minh City’s hidden gems - SilverKris

"A contemporary skyline landmark, rising to 262m with a curved glass exterior that invites comparisons to global signature towers; it acts as a modern centerpiece for the city and includes a helipad and an observation deck used for major events such as fireworks displays. The tower symbolizes the city’s rapid push toward high-rise modernity that often contrasts with the intimate alleyway life below." - Connla Stokes

The Bitexco Financial Tower is one of Ho Chi Minh City's most striking symbols, instantly recognizable by its innovative design inspired by the Vietnamese lotus. Climbing to the Saigon Skydeck on the 49th floor is the absolute best way to appreciate the sprawling scale and dynamic energy of this city! From 178 meters up, you are treated to a spectacular, crystal-clear, 360-degree panoramic view that seamlessly blends the old colonial landmarks (like the Central Post Office and Ben Thanh Market) with the rising modern skyscrapers, all bisected by the winding Saigon River. Visiting just before sunset is highly recommended, as the transition from golden hour to a sparkling blanket of city lights is truly magical and worth the price of admission. While the entry rate is indeed a little high, the experience is elevated by the air-conditioned comfort, the interactive displays, and the unique perspective it offers. This is an essential stop for a stunning, high-altitude photo opportunity and to gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire metropolis. It's a premium view that justifies the cost!

I love how easy and simple to go up. Its cheaper than i expected, and the view is great. Love the ao dai exhibition! This place is amazing when its empty as you feel like you want to stay here forever just basking in the view, the sun, and the hustle and bustle of saigon / hcmc

A beautiful, tall, and modernized building near the river and Saigon Center. You can purchase tickets for the upper deck within the building. Building itself has some shops and restaurants, otherwise mainly is used as a business building. This building has reasonable AC and clean washroom free of access. Otherwise, it is quite empty and airy.

This is a nice view of Saigo 360° Day Time up there at the observation deck. Feels like visiting a Singapore Mall. Haidi Lao, Starbucks Reserve, Samsung, AIA and even a Brand Warehouse. There little places for you to sit down at 49th Storey but a cool place for a hot day. There is a buffet at the 4th level that attracts plenty to eat there.

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. 😒👎🏻

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.

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.
