Yên Art Homestay is on Nguyễn Du street in District 1, the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, where temples, parks and markets are all within a few hundred metres. Sri Mariamman Temple, the Hindu temple of the old town, is 150 m away, Miếu Năm Bà Ngũ Hành Tao Đàn 100 m and September 23 Park 400 m. Ben Thanh Market, the covered market known for souvenirs and street food, is 400 m away, so the shops and eateries of the old town are a few minutes' walk from the property.
Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.2 km away and Saigon Railway Station 2.1 km, while the Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn bus station is 800 m from the property. Ben Thanh Station, the stop on Metro Line 1, is 450 m away on foot. For the airport and the railway station, a taxi or ride-hailing car is the simplest choice.
The sights of the centre are close: Independence Palace, the former presidential palace, is 450 m away, the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum 650 m and the War Remnants Museum, on the Vietnam War, 750 m. Nha Rong Wharf, on the Saigon River, is 1.4 km away, and the Vietnam History Museum 2 km. Chợ Dân Sinh, a local market, is 800 m away and suits everyday shopping rather than souvenirs. Crescent Lake, further out, is 5.8 km away and makes a longer trip.
