Parks and green spaces of Saigon

A timely reminder from Rusty Compass of green spaces in Saigon’s central area for travellers looking for a place to walk and breathe.

Air pollution in Hanoi and Saigon is getting ever more media attention. The difficulty and safety risk of sharing sidewalks with increasingly brazen motorcycle riders in Saigon can make walking in the city hazardous and unpleasant. Neither are good for tourism. And they make a city's green spaces all the more important.

In an effort ti accentuate the positive, we’ve created a travel guide to Saigon’s downtown parks and green spaces over at Rusty Compass. They're interesting places to get away from the frenzied activity of the city. And you'll find some tasty tidbits of history too.
