Danang Transportation Guide 2025: For First-Time Visitors

Da Nang – a radiant coastal city with majestic mountains and vibrant cultural heritage, a destination that anyone longs to set foot in at least once in their lifetime.

If you choose a package tour, you will have a convenient trip, but for those who want to explore Da Nang on their own, transportation is often a concern. Don’t worry, right here you will find a complete guide to transportation in Da Nang, so you can easily choose the most suitable way to get around, making your journey smoother, more comfortable, and more fulfilling.

1. How to Get to Da Nang

By Air

Da Nang International Airport (DAD) is the main gateway, directly connecting to major cities such as Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong…

Da Nang International Airport is only about 3 km from the city center, very quick to reach by shuttle service or private transfer.

By Train

Trains are one of the popular travel options in Vietnam. Daily trains run from Hue, Hanoi, Nha Trang, or Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang, giving travelers flexible choices.

Reference travel times:

• Hue to Da Nang: 2.5–3 hours
• Hanoi to Da Nang: 14–16 hours

Traveling by train allows you to admire Vietnam’s stunning scenery, especially when passing through Hai Van Pass – considered the most beautiful railway route in Vietnam.

By Coach / Limousine

You can take a coach if you are not too far from Da Nang, such as from Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang… This is a budget-friendly choice, but if you are traveling from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, we do not recommend it as it will be very tiring.

Limousine services from Hoi An, Hue, Quang Binh to Da Nang are highly worth considering. Nowadays, many modern and comfortable limousine operators serve short routes at reasonable prices.
