Kurt EDriver asked us of the address of our hotel to drop us off in Da Nang. He confirmed the address. In Da Nang, the driver drops off three passengers of they wanted, but 5 passengers remained dropped off the side of the road. No explanation. He said, "His route was done. Get off the van." 6 or 7 miles away from the remaining passengers!!!

Nicholas C1 hour delay, had to sit on a used bed sheet even if just for 3 hours. Cleanliness is what it is, but that was expected.

Alessandra MAfter waiting for more than one hour in the pick up place, they sent a car to take us to another pick up place where we waited another 30’. We should have arrived to destination at 11:00 and we acually arrived 2 hours later. Furthermore, the stalls in the sleepbus where very tight and the staff treated us pretty much like animals and not customers.

How far is Da Nang from Hue?
The distance from Da Nang to Hue is 63 km. Railways link the two destinations so that you can travel direct without connections. If there are connections, they will be indicated in your ticket.
How long does it take to get from Da Nang to Hue by train?
Depending on the type of train, the length of your railway journey from Da Nang to Hue may vary. The slowest train needs about 3h 41m to get to Hue, and the fastest one brings you there in about 2h 30m. We recommend opting for the fastest service to save you time, especially if you travel by day. With overnight service, the difference of a couple of hours seems not so crucial and may prove even convenient.
Note that trains normally depart on time from their station of origin but sometimes come later than scheduled to their terminus. It is better not to plan short connections if you are going to continue your journey immediately after arrival to Hue.
In many destinations, train stations are located very centrally and have good transport connections with the rest of the city, bus stations, and airports. It mostly concerns the older and well-established railway stations. The newer and bigger ones tend to appear in the outskirts of towns and cities, first of all, due to the reason of limited space in the central locations. Getting to and from there may be challenging even by taxi, as restrictions may apply on taxi operators allowed to serve the passengers. Hence, we highly recommend double-checking the location of the station you will depart from and arrive at as some destinations have several train stations.
How much does it cost to get from Da Nang to Hue by train?
There may be carriages of a different class on one and the same train on one and the same route. The price of your ticket will vary accordingly – from a dirt-cheap tag for hard seats to high numbers for super comfy overnight sleeper berths on luxury trains. For the Da Nang – Hue route, the cheapest ticket costs while if you want to travel with more comfort, expect to pay for the most expensive option.
Travelling by train essentials
- Train tickets often sell out well before the date of departure. Book them in advance even if your travel does not fall onto high-season dates. Travelling during peak periods which also include public and national holidays, and long or bank weekends, advanced booking is a must if you do not want to remake your travel plans on the spot. It is unnecessary to go to the train station to book – buy your ticket online in a few clicks.
- Advanced booking ensures you get the seats and berths you want. For example, the lower berths are always the first to sell out, while upper berths may be available even on the departure date. Similarly, for longer distances, it is the night trips that enjoy the highest demand, while you may be able to grab a ticket for the same route an hour before departure if it is an inconvenient day ride that eats a huge part of your time.
- There may be different carriages within one and the same train: fan-only and air-conditioned; hard seats and soft seats; second class berths and private compartments. Before buying your ticket, make sure you understand what type of seat you are paying for. Prices may differ greatly, but sometimes it is a good idea to pay more not to spend 20 hours on a hard seat in a fan-only carriage. In general, second-class berths are a good choice for longer overnight trips, while for shorter 4-6-hour day journeys, a soft seat is a great option.
- Air-conditioning on trains can be excessive – as well as heating during the cold season. Make sure to pack layers not to get cold or hot during your trip. In hot countries, fan-only carriages are a cheaper and acceptable alternative to air-conditioned carriages.
- There are toilets on board a train. Depending on the type of train, some carriages can be equipped with simple squat-type toilets or normal Western toilets. Regardless of your ticket's price, the train toilets' cleanness is not often up to the standard, alas. It especially concerns cheaper classes, though even in first-class carriages, complaints are not unheard of.
- There is normally a dining carriage on long-distance trains, but on some routes, dining carriages have become extinct due to covid-19 restrictions. Check in advance if food is available on board or simply pack some snacks to be on the safe side. On many trains, you will also see hawkers patrolling the aisles during the journey and selling soft beverages and snacks. Alcohol drinks are prohibited on trains.
- Smoking is prohibited, too, if, of course, you are not travelling by a common class somewhere in China or Indonesia!
- Arrive at the train station at least half an hour before departure to allow enough time to find your platform and go through check-in formalities. A passport or other ID which you use for buying your train ticket is almost always needed, so keep it at hand to produce when asked at check-in or boarding.
- Trains may arrive at their destination later than scheduled. These delays are not uncommon, especially for long-haul routes. Be ready and plan accordingly. Yet compared to buses, trains are less weather and traffic dependent hence more reliable schedule-wise.
