Getting to Ho Chi Minh City by Train

The train Station in Ho Chi Minh City is situated towards the northwestern part of the city on Cach Mang Thang Tam.
The Vietnamese railway company, Duong Sat Vietnam, provides train service in the city. This rail company operates in all major rail routes in the country.
Ho Chi Minh City is well connected with Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, through the rail routes. The rail route from the northern part of the city is colorful. But the pace of this rail route is very poor.
Though provisions are there to avail any information on train service or ticket price, over phone, most of the time the telephone numbers of Duong Sat Vietnam prove to be useless. So it is always a better option to go directly to the Station Office in person.
You can also look for local travel agents, who can help you to meet your queries.
Alternatively you can opt for a very useful number 1080, where an automated voice will provide you all the relevant information on timetables in English.

The major rail route of Vietnam linking Ho Chi Minh City with Hanoi, takes around 32 to 42 hours. The exact time of the journey depends upon the number of stops in between.
However during the rainy season, floodwater affects the rail route.
