When you talk about Vietnam, the first few words that roll out of your tongue have to be conical hats, Halong Bay and the Vietnam War. And the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon, will be the best place to see the Vietnam War, albeit via explicit images. The War Remnants Museum is actually just behind the Reunification Palace. Still, here’s how to get to the War Remnants Museum:

 

The blue arrow points to the unmistakable main gates of the Reunification Palace. From here, turn right and follow down the nice path indicated by the yellow arrow.
