Buy train tickets for Vietnam Railways

How and where to buy train tickets for Vietnam Railways.

Buy Vietnam train tickets online

The official website at vr.com.vn redirects ticket sales to dsvn.vn.

Official booking agents provide a more user-friendly booking experience.

Baolau specialises in rail bookings in Vietnam. Once you have made a booking, you will be sent a pdf document of the rail ticket. This is the same ticket that is issued at the stations.

12Go is a popular booking site for Southeast Asia travel.

Train tickets can be bought for same-day travel and future travel at the station.

Tickets do sell out (especially for sleeper beds) so it’s better to book online if you are planning a trip and you know your travel dates.
