THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Right place. Right bus. Better start.
Leaving Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is the hub for the south. Northbound and Mekong Delta buses use different terminals, and tourist buses, including services to Cambodia, often start from company offices in the Pham Ngu Lao backpacker area of District 1.
- Mien Dong Bus Station · Bến xe Miền Đông
Eastern terminals for routes to the north and the coast. There is an older station in Binh Thanh and the larger New Mien Dong (Bến xe Miền Đông mới) further out. - Mien Tay Bus Station · Bến xe Miền Tây
South-west of the centre. The main terminal for the Mekong Delta, such as Can Tho, Chau Doc and Ha Tien. - Pham Ngu Lao area (District 1) · Phạm Ngũ Lão
Offices of many tourist and cross-border bus companies, near the main backpacker district.
Arriving in Da Nang
Many tourist operators to Hoi An and Hue collect from hotels or their own offices, so you may never use the bus station. From the station, use a taxi or ride-hail into the centre or out to the beach.
- Da Nang Central Bus Station · Bến xe Trung tâm Đà Nẵng
Long-distance and regional services, including sleeper buses north and south and some cross-border buses to Laos.
Keep the essentials offline
Save your ticket, the exact meeting point and the operator's phone number before you set off. Follow the check-in time on your confirmation.
- Buses between Da Nang and Hue usually use the Hai Van tunnel rather than the pass road. Book a private tour if the pass views are the point.
- Da Nang Airport is close to the city and has shuttle options to Hoi An.
