Opposite the Notre Dame Cathedral, Nguyen Van Binh Street is now home to over 20 small shops run by Vietnamese publishing companies, including the Ho Chi Minh City General Publishing House, Tre Publishing House, Nha Nam, First News and the HCMC General Science Library, as well as a number of smaller stalls and cafes.
The highlight of the street is neither the bookshops nor the bargain bin bestsellers, but the tables of old and rare books, ranging from songbooks to classic Vietnamese novels. The city has also scheduled live music performances and author talks for the street's weekend crowds.
