How to get to Landmark 81 tower from the center of Ho Chi Minh City?

You can get to Landmark 81 tower from the tourist center of Ho Chi Minh City (the area around Ben Thanh Market) by taxi, metro, or bus. The complex is located about 5 km from the center, and the trip will take from 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.

Here are the main options:

• Taxi (Grab or regular): The most convenient and fastest way. The ride will cost approximately from 30,000 to 100,000 dong ($1.2 – $4). Use the Grab app for a fixed price.
• Metro: A modern and cheap option. You need to board at the metro station near Ben Thanh Market and go to the station Nhà Ga Tân Cảng - Điện Biên Phủ. From the station, you will have to walk about 15-20 minutes to the tower or take a short taxi ride.
• Bus: The most budget-friendly, but not the simplest option. The fare is about 7,000 dong ($0.3). Several routes go to the tower, but none stop right at the entrance — from the nearest stop, you will need to walk about a kilometer along not always obvious streets.
