Cu Chi Tunnels
Bästa tid att besöka
Early morning to avoid tour buses and the midday heat, especially in the dry season (December–April). Rainy season brings mud and more insects, so bring a light rain jacket if visiting from May to November.
Budgettips
Entrance fee is roughly 100,000–150,000 VND; guided half-day tours from Ho Chi Minh City typically cost 250,000–600,000 VND including transport. Save money by taking a local bus or shared minivan instead of a private taxi, and buy tickets at the official ticket counter rather than through door-to-door touts.

Snabba fakta: Crawling through narrow, cool earthen passages gives a startling sense of how stealth and improvisation let fighters live and move underground for months. Visitors still encounter clever booby traps fashioned from everyday objects and can peek into tiny chambers that once held kitchens, meeting rooms and medical spaces.
Höjdpunkter: Underfoot you'll squeeze through mud corridors barely 60 centimeters wide, crawling past tiny oil-lamp lit chambers and hidden kitchens in a labyrinth that stretched for more than 250 kilometers. Guerrillas rigged cunning booby traps like punji-stake pits camouflaged with leaves and baited with sharpened bamboo spikes sometimes smeared with feces to cause infection, and they passed secret orders in matchbox-sized carved wooden containers.
Insidertips
- Wear closed-toe shoes and lightweight long sleeves, tunnels and paths can be dusty and cramped.
- Try the short, bright demonstration tunnel first before attempting the narrow crawl if you feel claustrophobic.
- Bring water and cash, lockers are limited and some attractions like the shooting range cost extra.
- Head to the site when gates open to avoid peak tour bus arrivals and get cleaner photos at the displays.

I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
