Address

289 Hai Ba Trung Street, near Tan Dinh Market

Built in 1876, and pink from spire to columns. The first thing visitors say is that the colour isn't a filter. It sits right on busy Hai Ba Trung Street, so from the front you're too close to fit it in; the move is to cross the road, or take a window seat on the second floor of the Cong Ca Phe opposite. The church is the only sight, so half an hour does it, but add Tan Dinh Market and the District 3 lane cafés and you have a half-day wander.
