It's about a 10-minute walk from Independence Palace. After admiring the cathedral's exterior, stop by the Central Post Office (Saigon Central Post Office) directly across the street — exploring the interior architecture with your children and sending a souvenir postcard can be a great experience. Please be quiet while viewing indoors.

You can get there from the cathedral on foot or by a short taxi ride. There are many narrow aisles, so take care if you're using a stroller. The food and souvenir sections are mixed together, making it a great spot to sample snacks with kids, and the surrounding night market streets become lively around dusk.
