Those who've visited and think that you know history just because someone showed you a few pictures and claimed that that this was the "American War." Wake up! More than 1.5 million South Vietnamese soldiers (not including civilians that the north butchered) died defending that piece of land that the North Vietnamese INVADED! Was ...

I had no expectations, I didn't research Vietnam before travelling there because I used a trusted travel agent to organise our tour. So, with our most informative guide in charge we arrived at the Palace in a mini bus and drove into the grounds.
I thought the facade was fabulous but when I saw the interior I was delighted.
The architecture ...

History is written by the victors and the North won. Deal with it.

For any serious student of the American War, a trip to Vietnam is a breath of fresh air. It's nice to get away from the sour-grapes of the US spin machine. The information you get at the Palace and the War Remnants Museum is open, honest and right there for you to see. ...

To understand the VN war history, however there is too much propaganda giving too much credit to North VN communists while bashing the south presidents Thieu and Diem . It is boring to hear one sided story of the victors.

I've been to Saigon for many times but this is my first visit to the Reunification Palace. In terms of architecture, yes it's a marvel and the landscape is a beauty. The inside however, to my personal opinion sorry to say but a little boring. The scenario is like walking into a building with no occupants. You will see a non-commisioned Huey ...

I like in Viet Nam where i was born and live.City life also offers people many moral benefits, help me open-mined. This place can have the best education, cultural palace and public....

It's an interesting tour, to say the least. Informative, but like most official things in the country, it is not an objective historical account. I'd recommend it for everyone, but history students will quickly see how much information is left out. Smile and nod. The short film at the end of the tour is also some heavy propoganda, but it's better than most movies you are forced to watch on the airplane that got you there

Reunification Palace, in the heart of downtown HCM City, was the headquarters of the Saigon regime and it has been kept as a remnant of the war.

The palace, used by the presidents of South Vietnam, has Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street in the front, Huyen Tran Cong Chua at the back, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai on the right and Nguyen Du on the left. Surrounded ...

The palace is an ok museum, but I noticed it was not well cared for. The tour guide could speak english, but with a strong accent. This place is alright if you are into the history portion of Vietnam and the communist takeover.
