Going from Nha Trang to Golden Bridge by Flight + Car

The fastest way to get to Golden Hands Bridge from Nha Trang is taking a flight to Da Nang and then have a private transfer by car/bus from Da Nang to Ba Na Hills.

A direct flight from Nha Trang to Da Nang will be 1 hour long. There are two local airlines to buy tickets today: Vietnam Airlines (flight number started with VN) and Vietjet Air (flight number started with VJ). If want to see Golden Hands Bridge on the same day, visitors should book the earliest flight and then reach the bridge right after arriving Da Nang.

We advise buying flight tickets as early as possible because each airline often operates one flight only from Nha Trang to Da Nang daily. If too late, visitors will take flights with a stop at Ho Chi Minh city or Hanoi (the price can be higher), or go to Da Nang by other vehicles.

In Nha Trang, visitors need to go to the Cam Ranh International Airport (CXR). This airport is around 43 kilometers away from Nha Trang city center (to the south). To get to it, both public transportation and private transfers are possible. If going by private car/bus, the drive is around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the traffic. It will be longer if visitors stay on the islands or remote hotels.

Today, the Cam Ranh International Airport has two terminals: Terminal 2 (T2) for flights to other countries and Terminal 1 (T1) for flights inside Vietnam. To fly to Da Nang, it’s needed to come to Terminal 1. Passengers are advised to be in the airport at least 2 hours before departure, so should leave Nha Trang 3 hours earlier. In addition, Vietnam’s local airlines currently accept online check in (24 hours before) and E-boarding pass at Cam Ranh International Airport.

In the Da Nang International Airport (DAD), visitors will land at the Terminal 1 (Domestic terminal). Here, after baggage claim, just walk outside to see the driver (or the guide if book a tour) who often holds a sign showing passenger’s names. Taking a random taxi is okay but quite expensive. After that, the driver/guide will take visitors to the parking lot before driving to Ba Na Hills. Read how to get to Golden Bridge from Da Nang airport

Going from Nha Trang to Golden Bridge by Train + Car

Visitors can take the train from Nha Trang to Da Nang because both of these cities are on the Vietnam north-south railway line. Duration of this train ride is 9-10 hours, including stopping for a short while in major stations (Tuy Hoa, Quy Nhon, Quang Ngai, Tam Ky,…). We recommend taking an overnight train, in order to arrive at Da Nang in the morning and then have time enough to reach Golden Hands Bridge in Ba Na Hills.

To buy train tickets from Nha Trang to Da Nang, visitors can buy at counters in the Nha Trang Railway Station or on the official website of the Vietnam Railways (https://dsvn.vn/). Because the ride is long, we recommend booking a bunk bed in an air-conditioned room. One room will have 4 beds, and the toilet is outside.

In Nha Trang, visitors need to reach the Nha Trang Railway Station on Thai Nguyen Street (near Nha Trang Cathedral). This station lies right in the city center. So visitors can walk, take a taxi/car/bus, or use public transportation to come here.

The train ride from Nha Trang to Da Nang brings a special experience. Visitors will see scenic landscapes and everyday life of local people along the track. If take a flight, these slices of Vietnam are missed. Between Nha Trang and Tuy Hoa, the train goes along the coastline of Deo Ca Pass and Vung Ro Bay, which has wild sandy beaches, lush forests, sheer rocky cliffs, and blue sea, offering a stunning journey.

In Da Nang, the train will arrive at the Da Nang Railway Station on Hai Phong Street, within the city center. The distance from here to Sun World Ba Na Hills is around 25 kilometers. Read how to get to Golden Bridge from Da Nang train station

Going from Nha Trang to Golden Bridge by Bus + Car

The distance from Nha Trang to Da Nang is around 530 kilometers. If getting a bus, it takes visitors about 10-12 hours. In Vietnam, local visitors often go on an overnight bus (sleeper bus), in order to reach Da Nang in the morning.

In Nha Trang, there are many buses going to Da Nang, including both local bus lines and tourist buses. We recommend buying tickets from tourist buses with pick up points within Nha Trang city center. By that, visitors can walk, take a taxi/car, or even use public transport to get  there. Ticket prices are often inexpensive. There is no extra charge for luggage.

In Da Nang, the bus often comes to the Da Nang Central Bus Station on Ton Duc Thang Street. The distance to Ba Na Hills is around 25 kilometers. However, tourist buses may drop off passengers at another place in the city center. Please check carefully to plan the trip better. From anywhere in the city centre, local driver and tour companies can pick up. Read how to get to Golden Bridge from Da Nang central bus station

Visitors should book a roundtrip transfer from the Da Nang Central Bus Station to Golden Hands Bridge. It’s free to drop off in the hotel within Da Nang city center or My Khe beach area.

If have time, you can stay overnight somewhere between Nha Trang and Da Nang (like Quy Nhon). Although not on the railway line, Hoi An, which boasts a charming old town decorated by colorful lanterns, is quite close to Tra Kieu Station. From this station, have to take a private car/bus to reach Hoi An then.
