In addition to three daily Reunification Express trains in each direction, there are local trains to Saigon and Hue. Ticket office hours are limited.

Car/Bus/Motorcycle

Nha Trang is a full day's drive from Saigon, Danang and Dalat. It is a popular stop on any north-south itinerary. If you are going by motorcycle, it's best to start in Saigon, where you are more likely to find a decent bike. A car and driver can be hired in any of the above cities.

Remember, friends don't let friends take buses in Vietnam! While useful as mile markers when they're broken down along the highway, buses are not a good form of transportation here. A better alternative is minibus. Numerous companies offer daily service between Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City, Danang and Dalat.
