As tourists, Ho Chi Minh City can seem very centralized because not only are many of the tourist attractions around District 1, the centre of the city, but this district is also quite compact.
However, with 24 districts, the city is actually very spread out and some of the other districts are more than twice the size of District 1.
Though D1 has a lot to offer in terms of culture, sights and activities, there is lot more to experience outside of the city.
Getting to the other parts of the city may seem challenging, but there are a number of public transportation options available to you, especially if you want to get around efficiently and in a cost effective manner.
