I went here on the rec of a friend and it was a waste of time and money. I imagined it would be a lot higher up . . . as a New Yorker, the 49th floor doesn’t impress. I thought the views would be more beautiful, but Saigon is just as ugly a city from the 49th floor. Worst of all, the ticket was almost $9! Bitexco should be ashamed. There’s a souvenir shop, and it seems they offer small rotating cultural exhibits; when I was there it was a small history of ao dai room and winning toothpick art sculptures. This place is inexplicably the fourth google auto-suggestion result when you google “Saigon . . .”. Skip it and spend it on lunch!
