SAU Presents: Bookstores in Ho Chi Minh City
You may already know this, but besides camping inside a hidden cafe or absorbing the peaceful atmosphere of a pagoda, one of the best ways to escape all that noise in Ho Chi Minh City is to find a nice quiet bookstore and spend some hours absorbing new knowledge or getting lost in fantasy. After all, literature does play a huge part in Vietnamese culture and history, so reading is actually quite a common activity here. From art books, to old collections, some of these stores also provide very rustic and serene decor where you can just spend hours getting lost in tales.
Now you might also be wondering, where are these bookstores, and are there any particular ones worth checking out? Whether you’re a bookworm looking for a paperback to bring home, or just want to spend some quiet time reading, or include a coffee with your book, this bookish guide will have you covered. If you’re like us and enjoy the feel and smell of a freshly opened book, then check out these places we have found around this city.
