Travelers have three popular options for traveling between Hanoi and Da Nang: train, flight, and sleeper bus, each with unique advantages. Flights offer the fastest and most convenient way to travel. Sleeper buses are the most economical option. Taking the train provides a unique opportunity to enjoy Vietnam’s stunning landscapes from the comfort of a soft berth.
Six Reunification Express trains (SE7, SE5, SE3, SE19, SE1, and SE11) run daily from Hanoi to Da Nang, taking about 14-16 hours to cover the 791 km route. Ticket options include soft seats, 6-berth cabins, and 4-berth cabins, ensuring a comfortable and scenic journey.
Before booking the train:
- The best part of the train from Hanoi to Da Nang is part via Hai Van pass with mpressive and breathtaking view. Please take that note on your schedule.
- For more privacy, you should book whole cabin tickets.
- While train journeys in Vietnam are exciting, they may not meet luxury or European standards. Vietnam Railways’ trains and facilities are older, with some parts not well maintained.
- To ensure availability, book your train tickets at least 2 days in advance. Avoid booking within 5 hours of departure, as the system stops selling tickets by then. For urgent bookings, contact us directly on WhatsApp for assistance.
