42 Nguyen Hue Apartment - The most unique place to hang out in District 1

Translated by Bing
National Geographic UK once shared a picture of the 42 Nguyen Hue apartment building with the caption: "This is an old apartment complex renovated to sell coffee, restaurants, and workspaces that attract a large number of young people". Located right in front of the pedestrian street, it is not too difficult for visitors to find this interesting place at the first time.

The apartment building has 9 floors. Visitors can choose to take the stairs or elevator for a fee of 10,000 VND/time. Each shop here has its own color, so it is quite interesting. Some cafes also attract customers because the balcony area has a direct view of the pedestrian street. Not only Vietnamese tourists, but 42 Nguyen Hue apartment building also captivates foreign visitors.
