4 Best Shopping Malls in Ho Chi Minh City

Vincom Center is split over 2 buildings with more than 250 retail outlets, making it the largest shopping mall in Ho Chi Minh City. Vincom Center A occupies a charming French colonial building where you can shop for electronics, home décor, and upmarket brands such as Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss and Hermes. 

Just behind it is the more modern Vincom Center B, which occupies the first 7 floors of a glass-fronted skyscraper, selling main street brands, sports apparel, and homeware. Vincom Center is also great for enjoying familiar food outlets such as Carl’s Jr, Seoul Garden, and Tous les Jours Bakery while the Games Center is fitted with air hockey, basketball hoops, bumper automobiles, and arcade games.

A 5-minute walk from Benh Thanh Market, Saigon Square is a 2-storey wholesale fashion mall that offers some of the best prices in Ho Chi Minh City. Perfect for bargain hunters, there are seemingly endless aisles of small stalls selling T-shirts, men’s and women’s apparel, shoes, purses, swimwear, luggage, jewelry, and textiles. While the prices on the tags may be slightly inflated, bargaining is expected, so you should never accept the opening bid. As it’s also fairly easy to see stalls selling similar items; just browse around the shopping mall before settling for an asking price that you’re comfortable with.

Takashimaya Vietnam is the first Japanese department store branch in Ho Chi Minh City, carrying a wide range of products from Japan, Europe, and the U.S.. Appealing to mostly middle and upper-class shoppers, the 5-storey department store has a total retail space of 15,000 square meters.

Occupying a refurbished colonial building, Diamond Plaza overlooks prominent Saigon landmarks such as Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon Central Mail Office, and 30-4 Park. Offering over 4 floors of cosmetics, apparel, toys, and accessories, you can shop for popular upmarket and street brands such as Estee Lauder, Motorcoach, Crabtree & Evelyn, Levi’s, Converse, PUMA, Lego, and Samsonite. After a day of shopping, there’s a food court as well as numerous dining outlets and family-friendly entertainment centres to enjoy, including a bowling alley, kids playroom, and movie theater.
