An hour and a half up, or a night on the train
Da Nang is about halfway down the country, 791 km from Hanoi by rail, and the choice is between a short flight and a long train.
Flying is the quick way: about an hour and a half in the air, with flights through the day. For October 2026, five airlines were selling seats on the route: Vietnam Airlines, VietJet, Sun PhuQuoc Airways, Vietravel and Pacific Airlines.
The train takes 15 to 17 hours and can be timed so the night passes on board and the morning brings the coast between Huế and Đà Nẵng. Six trains a day run each way: the five North-South SE trains, and SE19 and SE20, which run only between Hanoi and Đà Nẵng.
Sleeper buses run mostly overnight, in 11 and a half hours or more, at about the price of a train berth.
