Vietnam Reunification Train

The trains are safe, comfortable and inexpensive, the ideal way for independent travellers to get around and see Vietnam at ground level. The train journeys are also an experience in themselves, and become an integral part of your visit to Vietnam. Don mistakenly think youll lose time compared to flying - an overnight train ride from Hanoi to Hue or Danang is not only more of an experience, and cheaper, than flying, itll save time compared to 4 or 5 daytime hours of airports and airline check-ins, too! And whats the rush?

Trains with sleepers and on-board catering link Hanoi, Hue, Danang, Nha Trang, and Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). Hoi An has no station, but its just 30km by bus or taxi from Danang. There are also trains from Hanoi to Haiphong (for Halong Bay) and Hanoi to Lao Cai (for Sapa).

Youll see some wonderful scenery from the train between Hanoi and Saigon. Easily the best section is between Hué and Danang over the Hai Van Pass, where the train runs along the coast past bays and islands and through the hills. The train travels at low speed up the fierce gradients, with an assisting locomotive at the rear and people sitting on the roof..! See the video above and the pictures below. Theres also a good video montage of a Saigon-Hanoi train journey
