THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Right place. Right bus. Better start.
Leaving Hoi An
Hoi An has a small bus station, but most visitors travel by tourist bus, limousine van or sleeper that collects from hotels or company offices. Da Nang, about 30 km north, is the nearest airport and long-distance hub.
- Hoi An Bus Station · Bến xe Hội An
Local and regional services, mainly towards Da Nang. - Hotel and office pickups
Most sleeper and limousine services to Hue, Nha Trang, Da Lat and beyond board at hotels or operator offices.
Arriving in Hanoi
A ticket that says “Hanoi” may end at a terminal well outside the Old Quarter. If you booked with a tourist company, check whether it drops at its own office or offers a shuttle; otherwise allow time and a taxi or ride-hail fare into the centre.
- My Dinh Bus Station · Bến xe Mỹ Đình
West of the centre. Many routes to the north-west and the mountains, including Lao Cai, Sapa and Ha Giang. - Giap Bat Bus Station · Bến xe Giáp Bát
South of the centre. Public buses to the south, such as Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa and central Vietnam. - Gia Lam Bus Station · Bến xe Gia Lâm
Across the Red River to the north-east. Buses towards Hai Phong, Ha Long and the north-east. - Nuoc Ngam and Yen Nghia stations · Bến xe Nước Ngầm, Yên Nghĩa
Smaller southern and south-western terminals, used by some routes towards Hoa Binh and Mai Chau.
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.
- Check which terminal your ticket uses: the four stations are far apart.
- Some services from the mountains have dropped passengers on the western outskirts. Confirm the final stop when you book.
- Noi Bai Airport has its own direct buses to several destinations, so you may not need to go into the city first.
