The book street officially opened on 9 January 2016 on Nguyen Van Binh Street (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), after about three months of work converting this small street beside Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office. Suited to: anyone who enjoys books, publishing, reading culture, small workshops and talks, and the atmosphere of a pedestrian street. The best way to experience it: walk slowly past each cluster of book stalls and check the schedule of talks and meet-ups before you come. Suited to: book lovers, families with young children and visitors who want to stroll and take photos; avoid the harsh midday sun - it is at its best in the late afternoon and evening when the lights come on.
