Train

A passenger train on what is referred to as Train Street near Le Duan Street in Hanoi.

Trains are somewhat expensive (different price for foreigners) but are the most comfortable way besides airlines to travel long-distance within the country. Take note that toilet facilities are bleak. Onboard food is getting better but it is still best to bring your own or shop at the railside kiosks at various stops. Baggage should be locked in the storage bin in each first-class cabin. Of the three classes available, first class is the only reasonable way for businesspeople to travel. If you have the time, train travel is a great way to see a beautiful country.
