Holiday in Ho Chi Minh without breaking the bank
Vietnam has plenty to offer, from nature to city sights. One of the country’s must-visit places is Ho Chi Minh. On a budget? Fret not: use Traveloka GOverseas to plan a 4D3N trip for as low as $299, from 24 to 26 October 2022. Expect flights from $135 with up to $30 off, hotels from $162 and up to $60 and 5% off, as well as activities and attractions tickets from just $2!
For a city stay that’s close to the Tan Son Nhat Airport, Fusion Suites Saigon offers an affordable and comfortable stay, with nearby attractions like the Bitexco Tower and Ben Thanh Night Market. Alternatively, book a room at La Vela Saigon Hotel. Also close to the airport, this hotel has multiple attractions within the vicinity such as the Dai Nam Open Zoo and Cu Chi Tunnels.
For those who want to escape into nature, take a 25-minute boat ride from the heart of Ho Chi Minh city to An Lam Retreats Saigon River. Hidden within the shores of Saigon River, this is the perfect urban retreat that offers a scenic respite.
Explore the best of Ho Chi Minh with fab deals
We love that Ho Chi Minh has plenty of historical attractions. One of the most popular? The Cu Chi Tunnels. Sign up for a half-day tour by TNK to venture into these tunnel systems that played a huge role in wartime. Get a peek into these tunnels that include living areas, martial facilities and more. Plus, you’ll get to try what former Vietnamese guerrillas ate: tea and cassava.
After going underground, head up for a sky high view of Ho Chi Minh. Get your tickets to Saigon Skydeck at Bitexco Financial Tower, one of the iconic buildings in the city. You’ll admire the view from the 49th floor with plenty of photo ops and a restaurant if you wish to dine up high.
Finally, don’t miss a chance to admire the Saigon River! The Saigon Princess dinner cruise is a popular option. Hop aboard this luxe cruise for an unforgettable experience – think dishes created by five-star chefs and the incredible view of neon-lit Saigon at night. Psst: this is the perfect experience for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and any other milestones.
Travel and stay in Sydney on a budget
Head to the land Down Under for a week-long getaway to explore all the sights that Sydney has to offer. With iconic attractions like the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House, this is a must-visit city in Australia. With Traveloka GOverseas flash sale, plan a 7D6N trip for as low as $1,496 with flights from $425 and up to $30 off, hotels from $1,033 and up to $60 and 5% off, as well as activities and attractions tickets from $38! The flash sale happens from 17 to 19 October 2022, so mark your cals.
We’re eyeing central stays for the most convenient accommodation that makes travelling easy. Think Larmont Sydney by Lancemore, which is just a stone’s throw away from Museum Railway Station. ParkRoyal Darling Harbour is another fab choice, less than 1km away from Darling Harbour and close to popular landmarks like Sydney Opera House and Australia Square. In the vicinity, Mecure Sydney Wynyard is another centrally-located stay that’s near Wynyard Railroad station.
Wallet-friendly adventures in Sydney
You can’t miss a trip to Taronga Zoo while you’re there. Just a little over 10 minutes from Sydney by ferry, this zoo is home to over 4,000 animals – from the adorable to the exotic. We’re talking about koalas, giraffes, owls, and even the critically endangered Sumatran tiger. Learn about the zoo’s wildlife conservation efforts, get up close to the animals and enjoy a Sky Safari cable car ride for a view from above.
After exploring the land, take a peek underwater at Sea Life Sydney Aquarium. From sharks to stingrays to penguins, this attraction will fascinate the young and old. Expect more than 12,000 marine animals from 650 species, with underwater exhibits across its 14 themed zones – be sure to explore them all!
Love the cityscape? Maximise your experience with the Sydney Harbour sightseeing cruise by Captain Cook Cruises. This ride will take you along the main harbour of Sydney with a spectacular view of the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Shark Island and more.
