Chapa Express Top Reiseziele
Hier ist die Liste der Strecken, die von Chapa Express angeboten werden und bei den Reisenden sehr beliebt sind:
Um das Beste aus der Zugfahrt herauszuholen, ist die Wahl der Zugklasse sehr wichtig. Beachten Sie dabei die Länge der Reise, die Tageszeit und Ihre eigenen Präferenzen. Für längere Nachtreisen sind 1.- oder 2. Klasse Tickets in einem Schlafwagen zu empfehlen. Beide Optionen ermöglichen es Ihnen, so bequem wie möglich im Zug zu übernachten und die kostbare Tageszeit Ihres Urlaubs zu sparen.
Beachten Sie, dass 1. Klasse Tickets manchmal nicht für kürzere Trips (einige Stunden) auf einer längeren Reiseroute gebucht werden können. Oftmals sind diese für Reisende reserviert, welche die ganze Strecke vom Abfahrtsort bis zur Endstation buchen. 2. Klasse Schlafwagen mit weichen Sitzen sind jedoch eine akzeptable Alternative, wenn die Fahrt nicht länger als 4-5 Stunden dauert. Prüfen Sie, was alles im Preis inkludiert ist. Bettwäsche und Handtücher werden manchmal bereitgestellt, jedoch ist dies nicht immer der Fall. Dies gilt ebenfalls für Wasser, Snacks oder Toilettenartikel. Es ist immer eine gute Idee etwas Warmes zum Überziehen mitzubringen, da die Klimaanlage oder Heizung ausfallen - oder nicht Ihren Standards entsprechen können.
Reisen mit dem Zug: Vor- & Nachteile
Vorteile von Zugreisen
Eine Zugreise ist die ideale Lösung, um den Verkehrsstau zu umgehen. Obwohl es manchmal aus verschiedenen Gründen zu Verspätungen kommen kann, werden im Normalfall weder Feierabendverkehr, lange Wochenenden noch Hochsaison-Fieber Ihre Planung mit der Eisenbahn durcheinanderbringen.
Das online buchen der Zugtickets spart Ihnen eine Menge Zeit. Für viele Destinationen können Sie bis zu 90 Tage vor dem Reisedatum buchen, was die Planung auf ein ganz neues Level bringt. Trotzdem gibt es auch oft Last-Minute-Deals. Sie müssen auch nicht physisch zum Bahnhof, um zu buchen – sie können dies von überall aus tun.
In vielen Fällen sind Zugtickets viel günstiger als Flugtickets. Einige Strecken sind sogar schneller oder mindestens gleich schnell erreichbar mit einem Hochgeschwindigkeitszug, wenn Sie die Zeit berücksichtigen, die Sie bei einer Flugreise beim Check-in, am Zoll und dem Security-Check verlieren.
Die Bahnhöfe befinden sich sehr oft im Stadtzentrum. Dies spart Ihnen eine Menge Geld bei der Unterkunft. Ältere Bahnhöfe haben zusätzlich noch den Bonus, dass sie eine tolle Atmosphäre in den historischen Gebäuden bieten. Allgemein lohnt sich die An - und Abreise von solchen Stationen und kann als würdiger Punkt in die Reiseplanung aufgenommen werden.
Neben dem Fakt, dass Sie Tageszeit sparen und somit Sie mehr erleben können, ist eine Nacht im Zug auch eine gute Möglichkeit Hotelkosten zu sparen. Falls Sie sich für einen Schlafwagen entscheiden, werden Sie sicher auch gut schlafen. Auf jeden Fall besser als in einem Schlafbus!
Für einige Strecken gibt es Luxuszüge und dies ist auf jeden Fall eine Erfahrung, die man einmal in seinem Leben gemacht haben muss.
Nachteile von Zugreisen
Je länger die Distanz, desto länger die Zugreise und falls Sie eine beachtliche Anzahl Kilometer zurücklegen müssen, wird das sehr zeitraubend. Deshalb ist es in manchen Fällen besser, mit dem Flugzeug zu reisen, auch wenn es teurer ist.
Anschlussverbindungen sollten sehr genau geplant werden. Obwohl die Fahrpläne normalerweise festgelegt sind, kann es aus verschiedenen Gründen immer zu Verspätungen und Streichung von Zügen kommen. Worauf ebenfalls geachtet werden soll, ist der Standort der Station, wo Ihr Zug ankommt und abfährt. In einigen Städten gibt es mehr als einen Bahnhof, was zur Verwirrung führen kann.
Eine der häufigsten Beschwerden über Züge auf bestimmten Strecken ist die Sauberkeit. Dies betrifft vor allem die Toiletten und Abteile der billigsten Klasse.
Haltestellen werden auf einigen Zugstrecken nicht klar angekündigt oder markiert. Elektronische Bildschirme lösen das Problem, sind jedoch nicht überall präsent. Stellen Sie deshalb sicher, dass Sie Ihre Haltestelle per GPS markieren oder sonst einfach den Schaffner fragen, falls einer in der Nähe ist.

Wir haben uns in unserer Kabine sehr wohl gefühlt, die Toilette war sauber, check in war einfach und mit ausreichend Informationen.
Am Morgen konnten wir in der VIP Lounge duschen, und der Fahrer hat mit Schild auf uns gewartet. Alles bestens

Easier than I thought it would be. Once at the station, we found the check-in, and to our surprise there was a free lounge for Chapa guests where we’re were served a refreshment before our trip. Once aboard, we found a small but comfortable berth with snacks and water laid out. We were even offered a complimentary beer! The journey is a little rough. My adult son was travelling with me and he slept soundly. I got some sleep, and my son’s partner got about an hour. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this experience. Such a novelty.
Nice train, clean and nice atmosphere inside. Snacks and water prepared. Bathroom was always clean.
Staff at Hà Nội station were super friendly and helpful.
When fall asleep fast (like me) and staff came for service, you'll maybe get startled (even with earplugs) and are awake again.
Excellent, courteous and welcoming service from start to finish. Luxurious cabins, comfortable mattresses, delicious refreshments - a wonderful experience!!!
10 10 10 scores! Everything is great from beginning to the end. We upgraded the cabin to Tokin and really enjoyed the train ride. The train was clean and provided you enough amenities, drinks, snacks and fruits. The beds were comfortable. Air con also worked well. I was worried about the hygiene of the toilets during the trip but they are clean and well maintained. I am a light sleeping person but I can sleep well through the night. I like this train more than others based on my real experience 1. Clean toilets, 2. No peasants and smoking person around and the last reason I feel safe more than other trains. Highly recommended. I will definitely use Chapa express again if I need the sleeping train next time in Vietnam.
This was actually whole a lot better than we expected.
Personally, I love trains, and as I’m from Japan, the night train is becoming a thing of the past in Japan now. Before we got onboard, I heard it’d be really bumpy and loud since the rail track is a century old, and to be honest, it was indeed bumpy and loud. But, we had actually better experience than Japanese Sunrise Express!! From the refreshments available in the room, hot food service and catering available to comfortable sleeping accommodations, we were blown away by it. Something we can’t have in Japan (if you pay million yen, you could have such experience in Japan, but we aren’t one of those people…)
So, it was truly amazing experience for us. I know taking flight or night bus was cheaper and more efficient convenient way to travel, but I’m glad I made the right decision for our first trip to Vietnam! Thank you so much for your hospitality!
The CHAPA Express will be one of my fondest memories from my trip to Vietnam. The train cabin was clean and cozy. The views were incredible. I appreciate how Dean messaged me on WhatsApp to give me directions on where to check in and the lounge. Richard then escorted me to my cabin and helped me get settled. He answered all my questions. Richard was a delight to talk to before my departure. The staff waives you off to Da Nang. Then you start a magical train ride from Hanoi to Da Nang!
Our trip was rescheduled to a later time which was not a problem but the only notice was an what’s app message, nothing else (like an email). That was confusing. We got an upgrade though to Indigo class which was beautiful and comfi! The staff at the train station was not helpful in my request not to fill our compartment up with a man instead of an women as an additional passenger . If I had known I would have booked the whole compartment for my family of 3. We hardly slept because of the hard noise and bumpy ride, but that’s a train experience:).
I was surprised how comfortable it was. We had a good night sleep! We appreciated the waiting lounge and the shower in Lao Cai.I’m glad we didn’t take the bus. Worthed!
The lounge was nice. But the cabin was extremely warm and it was difficult to breathe in the night. The day after the company requested feedback and when we shared our experience they simply said they wished they knew sooner. However when we confronted them with the fact that we had tried to let them know during the train ride, they ignored us. Not a great way to handle feedback :/
The beds were super comfortable but the best was that 12go called us when we were getting close to the time the train left and then made sure we got on when it was close. If not for them we probably would have missed the train.
Someone offered us the option to pay an extra $60 for a private cabin. I thought it would be a great idea to get a good night’s sleep, so I paid for it. What a mistake!!!
Yes, the cabin was very nice, but it was absolutely impossible to sleep, not even for 10 minutes. The train was creaking as if it were going to break apart, and it was shaking like an 8-degree Richter scale earthquake.
On the train to Sapa, even though we had a shared cabin, we slept very well. I don’t know why this trip was so awful. So, I do not recommend paying extra for a private cabin.
The train, the cabin, and the bathroom you could access was nice & clean. However, being a luxury train (and please note, I am comparing it to another train doing the same route), it was way too noisy (which I didn’t face in the other one). During the whole ride, the noise didn’t stop. The ear buds provided dont help. And you really can’t sleep.
The train was comfortable and the amenities provided in the VIP suite was lovely. Loved seeing train street from the train after having been there to watch it go by a day before. The boarding was easy and the staff helpful and polite.
Train was on time and very clean. Staff at the station really friendly and helpful. Cabin was comfortable.
Vietnamese rail staff on the train try to sell you extras, so be careful.
Overall great experience.

Overall this was a fine experience. We were booked on Chapa but notified the day before that we would be on a different train line as they had overbooked. There were not a lot of other trains available at that time so we agreed. We were placed in a Vietnam rail car attached to the chapa train. Chapa had tried really hard to make it look nice and in their style but if it looks like a duck, acts like and duck and quacks like duck it’s a duck. I look forward to trying the Chapa train on the return trip because their train looks really cool. The staff at check in and in the VIP lounge were FANTASTIC!!!!
Ok. Not so super. Cleanliness is good. The noise of announcement and songs makes irritation. So they give ear plug: don’t forget to put, even though heard it louder.
After booking got contacted by train company saying they couldn’t provide me my seats but that I could pay an upgrade. Try to negotiate but not enough. Asked to get refund and not surprised they couldn’t provide finally give me my seats. Not sure if it was spam or the real company but in both ways they tried to scam me. Got no help from 12Go. The train ride was fine. Comfortable beds but very noisy has you could expect. Barely got sleep on the night ride. Would do it again but during daytime.
Overall everything went well, check-in, punctuality and everything, but the Train Ride ist far from luxurious! When you tried to Switch off the AC it made an afwul squeaking noise and it was Not a comfirtable Night Of sleep, since those trains Are 50 yo and it is horrobly Loud at Night, Even With earplugs!

Not sure why people complain about the noise. It is a train, for the love of God and everything holy, get over it. It was comfortable and clean. We would do it again.

The train is noisy and bumpy but that has nothing to do with Chapa and is just how old trains are in Vietnam. But the cabin was comfortable, the link to the Sapa private transport was seamless and it was all relatively easy.
Whilst the cabin was very tidy, clean, and had some water and snacks, the train itself was very, very noisy. None of the 4 of us sharing the cabin got any sleep.
We will take a night bus next time 10000%.
Such a shame
Misunderstanding in booking Trip to Sapa:
I got a whole 7-Seat Bus for me only!
I expected one Seat in a 7 Seat Bus
Btw: the trip took 2 hours because the driver did Not find the way in the First atempt
Chapa express train is so comfortable, the vip lough is clean and we can relax while waiting for the train come and VIP cabin is decorated so beautiful and more comfortable to sleep well

Booked on the incorrect train. The train was requested was for 10pm and the tickets issued were for 10:40 pm
Overall experience was really nice. The staffs were very helpful and nice. They helped us with checking in our coach. The beds were really comfortable.
I was travelling with my 80 years old mother on walking stick and my niece, so she was the one who has to climb up the upper deck. it was challenging we had a good laugh and enjoyed our trip. both cabin & toilet were clean and comfortable
Cabin is clean, very comfortable. We slept throughout the night. We can lock the cabin so there is no worry at all. The toilet is clean and has no smell. It was a very nice experience. I will take Chapa Express again to SaPa
