This palace used to be the base of Gen. Ngo Dinh Diem until he died in the early 1960s. It became one of the country’s historical icons in the 1970s when a North Vietnamese tank crashed through its gate, which symbolized the end of the war. Walking through this attraction takes you back in time as you’ll see original tanks used to seize the palace. There are antique pieces of furniture in various levels, beautiful gardens, a bunker and even hidden rooms.

Entrance Fee: VND30000
