By Train:
Trains run on a daily basis throughout Vietnam including service between Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, and other major cities.
By Bus:
Buses are always packed but provide a cheap way of getting into the city from destinations throughout Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
By Car:
Drivers must obtain a Vietnamese driver's license to drive in the country, as International licenses are not valid. In the city of Ho Chi Minh, it is not possible to hire a car without a driver.
Getting Around:
Ho Chi Minh is a good city to view via foot, however be in constant alert for the chaotic traffic.
Public buses are the cheapest ways to get around, but are often overly crowded and unreliable. Saigon Star Bus Company ( +84 08 864 2762 ) is Ho Chi Minh's only private bus company operating four routes throughout the city.
Metered taxis, cyclos and motorbikes are probably the easiest modes of transportation around the city and if you're really brave, cyclos and motorbikes are available to rent by the hour. Taxi companies include:
Ben Thanh Taxi ( +84 08 842 2422 )
Mai Linh Taxi ( +84 08 822 6666 )
Saigon Taxi ( +84 08 842 4242 )
Vinataxi ( +84 08 811 1111 )
Checking out the city by boat is also a popular option. Many attractions are located along the banks of the Saigon River and small boats can be rented out at reasonable prices.
