Getting around by train Central

The train of Reunification stops at the Ferroviaire Tri railway Station located approximately ten kilometres north of the city, on the national great 1. Taxis and xe-ôm provide shuttle service between hotels and the train station. A ticket dispenser is available at the station.

Designed by the architects Moncet and Reveron, who found their inspiration in the minority houses of Tây Nguyên, it is a very beautiful building from the French period of the 1930s. On the ground floor, the waiting room had two parts, one reserved for the natives, the other for the settlers. Today, the station has only a tourist vocation. With a length of 84 km, the rack railway line connects Dà Lat to Thap Cham (Ninh Thuân province). It is the oldest rack railway in the world.

Please note: make sure to book tickets one day in advance and at least three days or much longer for berths. Specify soft sleep (more expensive, but much more comfortable) or hard sleep (without mattress and with reduced space in the compartment). Tickets should preferably be obtained directly from the station ticket office. An old scam consists for the intermediary agencies in selling hard sleep places for soft sleep places...
