For those short on time, flying\u00a0<\/strong>is the most convenient way to see several destinations within Vietnam. Many travellers underestimate the distance (and state of the roads) between cities\u00a0and opt for buses or trains instead of flying. It’s good to note that train rides from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City can run up to 30 hours, and from Central Vietnam to either point, 16 hours is quite common. In light of this, it makes a lot of sense to opt\u00a0for a one- or two-hour plane ride and spend more time in your destination. Prices for domestic tickets are surprisingly reasonable, and there are daily flights to all of\u00a0the country’s top destinations.<\/p>\n Averaging about 40km an hour, Vietnam’s trains are an insightful and relaxing way to journey through the country. The North and South are connected by a single, 2,600km-track network managed by\u00a0Vietnam Railways<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>The track\u00a0snakes through the country from Ho Chi Minh City all the way to the Chinese border. Spring for the soft seats and four-berth cabins for a little extra comfort, or splurge on one of the private tourist sleeping\u00a0cars that are now available for several\u00a0key routes.\u00a0The railroad line is undergoing renovations as much of the existing tracks date back to colonial times, so be sure to research before you go.<\/p>\n Hanoi Train\u00a0Station Address<\/strong>: 120 L\u00ea Du\u1ea9n, C\u1eeda Nam, Ho\u00e0n Ki\u1ebfm, H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i, VietnamVietnam Airlines<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is the national carrier and has the most flights daily, while\u00a0Vietjet<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Jetstar<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>both offer affordable deals for short hops around the country.<\/h4>\n

Whether you’re an avid cyclist or just enjoy a little pedal now and then, Vietnam will reawaken your love for this mode of transport. Although it’s possible to cycle in the\u00a0cities, Vietnam’s\u00a0small towns and beach destinations are perfect for two-wheeled excursions. Some of the country’s best guided tours are in fact bicycle tours. You’ll find these in\u00a0the Mekong Delta and in Central Vietnam. In towns such as Hoi An and Hue, it’s possible to get to almost everywhere you want to go by bicycle (many of the locals do.) Rentals are\u00a0usually about 20,000 to 30,000 VND per day (about 1$.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
