THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Right place. Right bus. Better start.
Leaving Sapa
Sapa is a mountain town in the far north-west. Since the Hanoi–Lao Cai expressway opened, buses from Hanoi take around half a working day, and there's a wide choice of seated, sleeper and limousine-van services.
- Sapa Bus Station · Bến xe Sa Pa
Arrivals and departures for Hanoi, Lao Cai and other northern destinations. Many companies also stop near the town centre.
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.
