Getting there

Travelling to Đà Lạt

By air. Fly into Liên Khương airport, then take a taxi or the airport bus into town, about 40 minutes.

By coach. Many coach companies run between Saigon and Đà Lạt day and night; the trip takes seven to eight hours. Book early: the weeks after Tết are busy.

In town. Đà Lạt is small and hilly; taxis and ride-hailing apps are easy to find.
