Air

Vietnam Airlines (VN) and Pacific Airlines (BL) operates many flights between Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, Da Nang and Nha Trang. Regular services are also provided between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Buon Ma Thuot, Dalat, Na San, Phu Quoc, Pleiku, Qui Nhon and Vinh. The Northern Airport Flight Service Company operates flights by helicopter to Halong Bay from Hanoi.

Sea

A local network operates between ports. Cruise facilities are available. Contact us for more details.

Rail

Visitors may use the rail transport system independently or as part of a rail tour. Long-distance trains are more expensive but are faster, more reliable and more comfortable. Although a few carriages now have air conditioning, facilities are still short of international standards, and foreigners’ rates are comparable to the air fares. The main rail route connects Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and the journey can take between 30 and 40 hours. There are also services from Hanoi to Haiphong, Dong Dang, Lao Cai, Thai Nguyen and from Yen Vien to Ha Long.
 
Road

There is a reasonable road network. Traffic drives on the right. There is a good highway from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City - The Highway 1.

Bus

Services are poor and overcrowded.

Car hire

It is possible to hire chauffeur-driven cars. Some of them could speak a little English. We do not advise you to hire a car without driver since the traffic in Vietnam is not familiar with foreigners. In case you have a long stay in Vietnam, you may want to hire a car for your daily deplacement and in that case an International Driving Permit plus a test (taken in Vietnam) are required.
