On November 19, UK travel magazine Time Out announced the list of the “Coolest Streets in the World 2025”, featuring 31 streets across the globe. Among them, Vinh Khanh Food Street in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam proudly secured 10th place, marking an impressive milestone for Vietnam’s travel and culinary scene.

Why Vinh Khanh Stands Out

Time Out describes the selected streets as places where travelers can experience the most authentic local lifestyle. The ranking is based on recommendations from global travel experts and travelers who nominate the most exciting streets they have visited or lived near.

Vinh Khanh Food Street earned its position thanks to:

• A lively and energetic atmosphere day and night
• Countless delicious street-food stalls, restaurants, and drink spots
• A destination that reflects genuine Saigon local culture
• Fun activities and accessible prices for visitors

From grilled seafood, snails, and BBQ to modern dessert shops, Vinh Khanh has become a must-visit stop for food lovers exploring Ho Chi Minh City.

Criteria Behind the Ranking

The ranking focuses on streets that offer:

• Excellent food and drink experiences
• Vibrant local culture and entertainment
• Unique activities for travelers and residents
• Dynamic energy and community value

Architecture is not a strict requirement—streets can vary from wide commercial roads to narrow pedestrian walkways. What matters most is the experience and atmosphere.

Rua do Senado in Rio de Janeiro topped the 2025 list, praised for its constant buzz, newly opened attractions, and refreshing energy alongside historical venues.

Asia on the Global Map

Within the top 10, Asia proudly appears with three representatives:

• Vinh Khanh (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam)

• Fanghua Street (Chengdu, China)

This highlights Asia’s growing influence in global travel culture, especially in culinary and entertainment experiences.
