Cà Phê Đỗ Phủ - Bảo Tàng Biệt Động Sài Gòn — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

This unassuming cafe in Ho Chi Minh City offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's wartime history. More than just a regular cafe, it houses an underground military bunker used by the Viet Cong forces during the Vietnam War. Visitors can explore the secret spaces like a hidden mailbox and an above-ground bunker used by the Saigon Special Forces.

The adjacent unit, which served as a weapons bunker, is open from 7-11am for visitors to explore.

Good food, secret tunnels, and fun spot to be you can explore the underground tunnel. The location on google maps is incorrect but as long as you say the name some people will guide you to the location. If is just one street down from where Google maps has it at. The bunker is a bit humid so be prepared for that and you can have one of the folks working there (not sure if she was the owner) open up the door for you to enter. You will see a lot of tour guides bring folks here but if you want to do it on your own that is probably a good way to explore yourself. The food was actually really good too so definitely support...
