GoVnTravel suggests taking the train from Hue to Da Nang for the transfer, especially for the scenic journey through the Hai Van Pass. This route offers breathtaking views of mountains, jungle, tropical beaches, and the sea. Eight daily trains operate from Hue city to Da Nang, taking approximately 2.5 to 3 hours to cover the 103 km route. Notably, HD1 and HD3, introduced in March 2024, are new tourist trains.
Before booking the train:
You should book newest tourist train HD1 / HD3 for the best experience.
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.
