How to get to Haiphong City

The participants can fly into Vietnam either via Ho Chi Minh City (Tan San Nhat airport - SGN) in the South of Vietnam or Ha Noi (Noi Bai airport - HAN) in the North.

I. Fly into Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat airport)

Although Ha Noi is in the North and closer to Hai Phong, it is simpler to fly to Ho Chi Minh City and change planes to fly to Hai Phong directly. This will save a longer overland trip between Ha Noi and Hai Phong, and arranging ground transport will be less complicated (and costly).

From HCM City to Hai Phong City (preferred option):

1. Take a domestic flight (Vietnam Airlines – 5 flights per day) from Tan San Nhat airport to Cat Bi airport (Hai Phong City)

2. Then take a taxi from Cat Bi airport to Haiphong University of Medicine and Pharmacy (just 10 minutes by taxi).

Most hotels will have transport between airport and hotel; check when booking your hotel to make this arrangement. Otherwise there is local transportation, but as with all travel, please be sure to check bus and taxi prices before agreeing the transportation.

For further information about traveling in Vietnam, please check the tourist information links below, and also your home country's Foreign or State Deptartment Advice on Traveling websites for full and complete information.

II. Fly into Ha Noi City (Noi Bai airport)

If you do fly into Ha Noi, then there are some possible options for traveling to Hai Phong:

1. Make arrangements with your local hotel in HaiPhong to pick you up at Hanoi airport. This is at an approximate cost of $50-60 one way.

2. Take a taxi from Noi Bai airport to Nuoc Ngam station in Hanoi and get on a bus (every 20 minutes) to Niem Nghia station in Haiphong (this will take around 2 hours).

3. Take a taxi from Noi Bai airport to Ha Noi main train station or Long Bien train station and get on the train to Hai Phong (2-3 trains per day, approx. 2.5 hours)
