The Fall of Saigon

Program details:

Step into a pivotal chapter of history as you explore the dramatic story of Saigon’s fall on April 30, 1975 — a moment that marked a turning point in both Vietnamese and global history. This journey traces the roots of that day, reaching back to the tense years leading up to the Tet Offensive of 1968.

Begin with a visit to a hidden weapons bunker once used by resistance fighters, where a cache of arms and explosives lay concealed beneath the city—a powerful symbol of resilience and defiance. Then, pass by significant landmarks tied to key moments of the conflict, including sites connected to iconic figures and events that shocked the world.

Return to the heart of the city to walk through historic streets and buildings that witnessed the final days of the war: from the dramatic takeover at the city’s central triangle to the Independence Palace, where tanks breaking through its gates signaled the end of an era.

Conclude at a famed rooftop bar, where you can unwind with a drink while reflecting on the city’s remarkable transformation from its turbulent past to its vibrant present.
