How to Travel from Da Nang to Hue and Vice versa | Outlanderly

Heading to Hue to see the Ancient Citadel? When traveling from Da Nang to Hue, you’ve got four options to choose.  Those options are bus, train, private car or, if you’re the adventurous kind, you can ride a motorbike. Then there’s Uber and Grab which rides to Hue are hard to come by, so it is best to steer clear. 

Sleeping on Train to hue from Da Nang

My first train ride from Da Nang to Hue is an experience I’ll never forget. The views from the windows were very scenic and I even got chatting to locals!

 What is the easiest way to get from Da Nang to Hue?

The best way to get from Da Nang to Hue is by train or bus, as it’s only about 100km and tickets are really cheap. It’s a good experience to travel by train in Vietnam, mainly in central coast. You could either organize this through your hotel if you have a bit of money to splurge out on, I absolutely LOVE the comfort of Limo transfers. Comfy,  air-conditioned cars and surprisingly affordable.
