How to get there

We recommend settling in Da Lat City first to easily visit the Datanla Waterfalls as well as other famous attractions. There are many travel options to consider based on your budget and preferences. 

• By airway: This is the fastest and most convenient way to travel. Flights to Da Lat are available from various providers (Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, Jetstar Pacific,...) and departure points, making your travel plan easier. You will land at Lien Khuong Airport, located in the city’s suburbs, and then you can catch a bus or taxi to the city center. 
• By train: Traveling by train takes more time (around 2 days), yet it is more economical. However, Da Lat doesn’t have a station. If you use this transportation, you can stop by Nha Trang Station, then catch a bus to Da Lat. This will take around 2 more hours.
• By bus: Traveling by bus is suitable for those who depart from the nearby cities, and you will need good health to deal with a several-hour-long trip. The ticket price can vary depending on your departure point and the different providers. You can check and compare the prices online on their websites to choose the best option.
