Plane
Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Vietnam’s largest, and it is about four miles from District 1. Taxi is your best option to get into the city, with a main taxi queue just outside the terminal. A trip to District 1 should cost about ₫150,000 to ₫170,000.
Train
The Saigon Railway Station in District 3 is Vietnam’s largest and a major railway hub. There are multiple trains daily that make the trip from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and back via Vietnam Railways. It’s about a 34-hour night trip that meanders along the coast for leisurely sightseeing.
Car
Foreigners are permitted to drive in Vietnam with a valid International Driver’s License and local insurance. Highway 1 runs between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City but be advised that many people find driving in Vietnam chaotic and there are many accidents along the route.
Bus
Bus is a cheap option for travel between major centers in Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City, which has two main intercity bus terminals: Mien Dong and Mien Tay. There are many private companies offering varying types of service, from luxury air-conditioned models to budget-priced options. Hoang Long is one of the largest.
