    Here's another picture of the stained glass artwork you'll see inside the cathedral. You can visit the cathedral for free, but they do have donation boxes inside the building. Why not donate a small sum of money to help in the preservation work of such a beautiful site?

    I always try to come to Catholic church whenever I am away. This one is a historical building in which every city tour in HCMC will include this church as a tourist spot. I managed to come in the opening hours from 3 to 4pm and stunned by the very detail ornaments of the altar as well as the peaceful feeling inside the Cathedral. As I walked out after praying, there was a woman standing beside a small table selling all kinds of rosary and Catholic books. I bought a pink rosary bracelet for Dong 20,000; and now regret not to buy the blue color because one of the beads in my pink rosary was broken. I have to go there again... ^^

    If attending the Sunday Mass held in both English and Vietnamese (9:30AM), be sure to show up early to get a seat near one of the large floor fans as it really gets hot inside and there is no A/C. Visiting hours and service hours are listed on the accompanying picture and were up to date as of May 2007. Also check out the vintage motorbikes/motorcycles which are often on display on Sundays in the park across the street from the church. Collectors and afficionados just seem to gather there to show off their prized rides and trade stories. If you must have a cafe after services, head straight out the front door and down Dong Khoi Street to the Highlands Coffee on the right hand side. Try not to get run over crossing the street on the way there! The Central Post Office is located across the street from the cathedral and is also an interesting short diversion.

    If you can spare some time out of your busy touristy schedule, do drop by Notre Dame Cathedral on a Sunday and soak in the atmosphere of a Mass. A sense of serenity comes upon you as you step into the cathedral. The candles, the priest, the congregation. Everything. Another reason why you'd want to visit the cathedral is also to see the architecture. Lovely stained glass and intricately designed high ceiling makes this cathedral a lovely building.

    It's a functioning church, so it opens only for mass. We went pass it about 3.42pm, and the gate was open, so we went in. Beautiful. Even though it was not really a tourist attraction, and never should be disturbed so by tourists.

    Llama la atención ver una catedral de estilo neorrománico en el barrio gubernamental de Ho Chi Minh Se construyó durante la epoca de influencia francesas a finales del siglo XIX Delante de la Catedral hay una imágen de la Virgen María, que estaba llena de devotos pues decían que unos días antes había llorado la imágen. Es curioso visitar el interior de la catedral It attracks the attention to see a Neo-Romanic cathedral in the gubernamental area of Ho Chi Minh. It was built during the French influence days at the end of the XIX century. In front of the Cathedral there is a Virgin Mary image , that was full of devouts because they said that a few days before the image had cryed. It is interesting to visit the inside of the cathedral

    Notre Dame Cathedral The twin towers of Notre Dame Cathedral have been a familiar landmark in Ho Chi Minh City since the 1880s. In front of the cathedral in a small garden is a delicate statue of the Virgin Mary. The interior of the cathedral is rather plain, unlike most French cathedrals, with no stained glass, but it is a cool escape from the heat outside

    Notre Dame Cathedral in District 1, is well worth a visit. You can take a taxi there from the waterfront for about 10000d. The cathedral is open in the late afternoon and you can have a look around inside then.

    Notre Dame Cathedral looks like your typical Catholic Church. A beautiful sight to take in. My husband and I were lucky enough to watch a wedding occurring there and beautiful wedding photos being taken at a park right outside the cathedral.
