Getting Around Vietnam

 Kirk - Guide Vietnam Travel

The majority of tourists arrive in Vietnam in either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh Cityand then make their way up or down the coast, with the choice of travel method depending both on budgets and the amount of time.

With more limited time, flights present the best option to hop between the further apart destinations in the north, south and central areas of Vietnam. 

Trains are also quite popular, especially overnight trains in a soft sleeper.  Vietnam’s Reunification Express runs the entire coast between Hanoi and HCMC, with stops along the way in Hue, Danang and Nha Trang.  In addition, the train is the main way to get between Hanoi and Sapa in the north.
