2 Days in Saigon on Motorbike: A Wild Ride with Local Buddy
Hoai Trinh
Experience 2 days in Saigon on motorbike with a local’s guide! Ride through hidden alleys, savor street eats, and uncover the city’s soul with Tubudd’s Local Buddy.
Saigon, officially Ho Chi Minh City, roars to life on two wheels—motorbikes darting through alleys, horns blaring, and street food aromas trailing in the wind. Spending
2 days in Saigon
might sound like a quick spin, but as a lifelong local, I’ll show you how to make it a full-throttle adventure—starting with a
in District 1, where stalls buzz with vendors flipping banh mi and ladling pho. Park your bike and dive in—snag a bowl of bun rieu, a crab noodle soup with a tangy kick, from a back-corner stall where locals fuel up. Pair it with a ca phe sua da (iced coffee with condensed milk), and you’re ready to roll. Next, zip into the hem (narrow alleys) off
Nguyen Hue Walking Street
—winding lanes hiding pastel cafes and flower sellers. My favorite is Alley 42, perfect for a coconut coffee pit stop. With Tubudd’s Local Buddy leading the way, you’ll dodge tourist traps and ride straight into Saigon’s soul.
Afternoon: History Meets Street Eats
By midday, throttle your 2 days in Saigon to the
War Remnants Museum
in District 3. Park up and step inside—this raw look at Vietnam’s past, with wartime photos and relics, hits hard but reveals what drives this city. Your
can share family tales that make it personal as you ride there. Afterward, motor over to District 4—Saigon’s gritty food haven. Pull up to a stall on Vinh Khanh Street, kick down your stand, and order banh xeo—crispy pancakes stuffed with shrimp and sprouts, dipped in fish sauce. It’s messy, delicious, and pure Saigon. Your Buddy knows the locals’ spots, skipping the overpriced joints.
Night: Neon Lights and Motorbike Vibes
Night falls, and your 2 days in Saigon hit high gear. Ride to
Bui Vien Walking Street
in District 1—Saigon’s nightlife strip where neon flickers and music spills out. Park your bike, grab a seat at a stall, and dive into lau—a steaming hotpot of seafood and veggies you cook yourself. It’s loud, chaotic, and quintessential Saigon. Then, let your Local Buddy guide you to
Yoko Café
in District 3—zip through the streets, wind in your hair, and pull up to this dim haunt where local bands play rock and jazz. Cap it with a late-night cruise past
Notre-Dame Basilica
and the
Saigon River
, the city glowing under your wheels.
