Travel in Vietnam

[vivian]

Vietnam by Road

Buses go almost everywhere, and they're extremely cheap.

Foreigners will pay more than the Vietnamese, unless their bargaining skills are good and the driver is sympathetic.
Vietnam by Rail

The train now goes all the way from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, but no-one in their right mind would want to do it all in one ride; there's too much see along the way.

Best used for the Hanoi to Hue stretch, and Nha Trang to Ho Chi Minh City; if you don't have time for Dalat.
Vietnam by Air

Airlines:
Vietnam Airlines is the national airline, and Aeroflot fly between Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi on the way to Moscow.

Popular flights to Vietnam are from Bangkok or Hong Kong.
