The Cu Chi Tunnels are a historic site northwest of Ho Chi Minh City. During wartime, the underground network held shelters, command and living spaces. Exhibits and a preserved section introduce its history and layout.
This listing focuses on Ben Duoc: a wooded route, exhibits, underground spaces and the Ben Duoc Memorial Temple. Ben Dinh is a separate site at another address.
The passages are low and narrow. Going underground is not for everyone; you can explore the grounds without entering a tunnel. Set aside much of the day, bring water and wear comfortable shoes.
Open daily, 07:00–17:00. Foreign visitors pay 35,000 VND admission + a mandatory 100,000 VND service and guide fee: 135,000 VND per person (from 1 Feb 2026). Optional activities cost extra. Details: Ben Duoc site and fee notice.
