"Ho Chi Minh City is a bustling and affordable city that offers a wide range of attractions for solo travelers, from inexpensive food and accommodations to an abundance of cultural and historical sites'', it added. 

The magazine suggested tourists to "try some of the mouth-watering street food available in pretty much every corner of the city, do some shopping at the Ben Thanh market, visit the Notre Dame Cathedral or book a tour of the Mekong Delta."

Getting around the city is "also pretty easy, with many transportation options, from the new metro to buses, taxis and motorbikes," the article said.
