The Mausoleum welcomes domestic and international visitors to pay respects to President Ho Chi Minh from 7:30 h to 10:30 h on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; extending to 11:00 h on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. Specifically on 19/5, National Day 2/9, and the first day of Lunar New Year, visits are still held if they fall on a Monday or Friday.
