Getting around Vietnam — how to travel with ease
Vietnam has a transport option for every budget — from handy ride-hailing apps, taxis and sleeper coaches to the north–south railway and low-cost domestic flights. This page helps you pick the right way to get around and travel safely.
From the airport to the city centre
The major airports (Tan Son Nhat – Ho Chi Minh City, Noi Bai – Hanoi, Da Nang) all have Grab/taxi (choose a reputable company and use the meter or the app's upfront fare) and cheap airport buses. Avoid touts; stick to the official taxi desk or order through an app.
