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.
