Those intending on making the trip by air will need to arrive via Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh with airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, VietJetAir, and Jetstar being the service providers that make such journeys possible. From Phu Cat Airport which is found some 30 km northwest of Quy Nhon City, guests may opt for a taxi to have them escorted to their preferred choice of accommodation. Charges for travelling in a small car begin at USD 8 while a 7-seater’s price will commence at USD 16. Further, the shuttle bus option can also be made use of which will offer convenient commuting from the airport to 1 Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, Quy Nhon for USD 2 per person.

Train 

The Quy Nhon Railway Station is located 15 km off the Reunification Express line and sees just one train a day that arrives from Ho Chi Minh City. Therefore, the better bet will be to hop onto the train to the Dieu Tri Railway Station which is a mere 25-minute drive from Quy Nhon town center. Also, a large number of trains operate north from Ho Chi Minh City and south from Hanoi to Dieu Tri Railway Station respectively, and in turn, afford some of the best views of the country. In terms of the cost and time factor, the train from Ho Chi Minh to Dieu Tri will cost a traveller around USD 34 for a journey that will take between 10 to 12 hours to complete while those choosing to board from Hanoi will have to pay USD 43 for a berth in a 4-sleeper cabin that will take approximately 20 hours to Dieu Tri.

Bus 

Though appearing as the most cost-effective means of reaching Quy Nhon, the time duration can be considerably longer but for those on a budget, bus travel will be the perfect complement to your travel plans. The main bus station is found in southern Quy Nhon and with various bus companies serving the city from neighbouring locales, one will be presented with a number of options to choose from. The sleeper bus facility must also not be excluded with many buses leaving Ho Chi Minh City and Mien Dong Bus Station that last for around 12 – 14 hours and will have you paying USD 11 per head. If you’re looking to book tickets, then do so via Baolau which is a travel search engine that will offer ease of access to service providers in the likes of Futa Bus and Phuc Thuan Thao.

Private car
