Saigon Square, Ho Chi Minh City

Saigon Square, on the corner of Nam Kỳ Khởi and Le Loi in District 1, is a shopping arcade is packed with stalls on two levels selling fashion, accessories and jewellery. Although there are bargains here there are also forgeries remembering the old adage that if it seems too good to be true it probably is. Even though it’s always bustling with shoppers, Saigon Square is air conditioned and under cover so it is far more pleasant than shopping in the nearby Ben Thanh Market and it’s generally accepted that prices are far better.
