Bitexco Financial Tower (Saigon Skydeck)

Tháp Tài chính Bitexco

A 262 m lotus-shaped landmark. The 49th-floor Saigon Skydeck offers 360-degree views over the Saigon River and the old city, best enjoyed at night.

Completed in 2010, Bitexco Financial Tower stands 262 m tall with 68 floors. Its shape is based on the bud of the lotus, Vietnam's national flower. The cantilevered helipad on the 52nd floor is highly distinctive. It was once Vietnam's tallest building until it was surpassed by the 461 m Landmark 81. The 49th-floor Saigon Skydeck charges about VND 240,000 (about VND 150,000 for children). It offers free telescopes and a touchscreen guide in Chinese, with 360-degree views over District 1, the bends of the Saigon River, Thu Thiem New Urban Area across the river, and Landmark 81 in the distance. If you don't want to buy a ticket, you can have a drink at the restaurant on floors 50 to 52 or at Café EON (minimum spend about VND 200,000), which also has views. The tower sits at the end of Nguyen Hue Walking Street, about an 8-minute walk from Ben Thanh Market, and its lower floors house the Icon 68 mall. Visit before sunset to watch the sun go down and the city lights come on. An alternative is the 79th-to-81st-floor observation deck at Landmark 81 (ticket about VND 800,000), which has higher views but is farther from the center.
