Top 4 Seaside Resorts in Quy Nhon, Vietnam

How to get to Quy Nhon, Vietnam?

By air

Flying into Quy Nhon is a great way to get a bird’s eye view of the spectacular landscape. If you’re intending to fly in, international visitors will need to come via Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. Currently, there are roughly 10 direct flights from Ho Chi Minh City every day and 3-4 direct flights from Hanoi. Airlines which service this route include VietJet Air, Jetstar and Vietnam Airlines.

Built on an old American air base from 1966, Phu Cat Airport is located about 30 kilometers northwest of Quy Nhon city. The current airport was only completed in May 2018 and is ready to service international flights – so watch this space.

There are a range of taxi companies you can find on arrival, or if you’re a little more organised, you can book pickup in advance with Dichung Taxi. Costs start from 200,000 vnd (US$ 8.5) for a small car to VND 380,000 (US$ 16.5) for a 7-seater.

There is also a shuttle bus for VND 50,000 (US$ 2) per person, which will drop passengers off at 1 Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, Quy Nhon.

By train

Quy Nhon Railway Station sits on a branch 15 kilometers off the Reunification Express line and only receives one train a day from Ho Chi Minh City (13-hour overnight train). Instead, your best bet is to take the train to Dieu Tri Railway Station, about 25 minutes drive from Quy Nhon town center. There are taxis and buses you can take from the station.

There are a number of trains running south from Hanoi and north from Ho Chi Minh City to Dieu Tri Railway Station every day. This is the ideal way to travel if you’ve got time on your hands. The view out the window is breathtaking and train travel in Vietnam is an experience in itself.

The train from Ho Chi Minh City to Dieu Tri takes roughly 10 to 12 hours and costs about VND 800,000 (US$ 34.5) for a berth in a 4-sleeper cabin. From Hanoi, it takes about 20 hours and costs roughly VND 1 million (US$ 43) for a berth in a 4-sleeper cabin.

The easiest way to check train times and book your tickets (without a Vietnamese credit card) is to use travel search engine Baolau. We recommend booking your tickets at least a day in advance. Once your reservation is confirmed, you will receive an e-ticket with a booking number which you can use to print your physical ticket at the train station.

By bus

Quy Nhon Bus Station can be found on the southern end of Quy Nhon by Big C Supermarket. There are a number of bus companies which operate between Quy Nhon and surrounding cities. It’s definitely the most affordable option for those on a budget, however rides are often slightly longer than expected.

There are several sleeper buses which depart from Mien Dong Bus Station in Ho Chi Minh City every day. It’s roughly a 12-14 hour ride and most leave in the evenings so you can sleep through the night. The main bus operators servicing this route are Phuc Thuan Thao and Futa Bus. Tickets cost around VND 260,000 (US$ 11) and the easiest way to book your tickets is through Baolau.

There are also many buses which depart from Da Nang, Nha Trang, Da Lat and Pleiku. These can be easily arranged through your hotel in these respective cities.

Private car

If you’re traveling from a nearby city and like the comfort and freedom of your own car, you can hire a private car or minivan for your trip. These can be arranged through hotels from Hoi An and Nha Trang.
