The train from Ninh Binh to Da Nang is the preferred choice due to old and uncomfortable sleeper buses and the absence of direct flights. Travelers need to travel 130 kilometers to catch a flight from Noi Bai Airport. Six Reunification Express trains (SE7, SE5, SE3, SE19, SE1, and SE11) operate daily, taking around 14-16 hours to cover the 676 km route, with options for soft seats, 6-berth cabins, and 4-berth cabins.
Before booking the train:
- Make sure to mark your schedule for the most spectacular part of the journey from Ninh Binh to Da Nang: the Hai Van Pass, renowned for its awe-inspiring views.
- 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.
