how to book a train from -DaNang to Hue, Vietnam
 
Does anyone know of a website to book a train trip from -DaNang to Hue, Vietnam? I was told it's very comfortable and has different seat selection. Or else, would you recommend a better means of transportation?

we did this trip a few years ago. it really is one of the best train journeys in Asia with some amazing views of the coast and the marble mountains along the way. we just turned up and bought tickets at the station. it was ridiculously cheap. we have also done the trip in the opposite direction by taxi. there is no comparison, the train is much the better way. if you do go by car you need to ensure ethat the driver knows you want to go OVER the pass rather than through the tunnel.

if you want to book in advance then you will need to do so through an agent. The link LL has provided above has all the info. i really wouldn't worry too much about the seat class. unless things have changed there really wasn't a whole lot of difference and the journey only took about 4 hours.

We took a taxi, costs about $60-$75 for everyone in the taxi, really convenient too. We even made a stop a ThienMu Pagoda. Though we ended up losing an iPad while visiting the Pagoda. The luggage wasn't locked!!
