Several trains a day run from Long Bien station in Hanoi to the Haiphong train station in the city centre (hard seats only, 38,000 VND).

Frequent buses run from Lương Yên station in Hanoi (near the old quarter) to Tam Bạc station in the centre of Haiphong (50,000 VND). Another option is to take a bus from Gia Lâm station at the outskirts of Hanoi to either Niệm Nghĩa (3 km from the city centre) or Cầu Rào station (approx. 6 km) in Haiphong (45,000 VND). Gia Lâm station can be reached from the Old Quarter by city bus no. 34 (3,000 VND).

A taxi or private car from Hanoi to Haiphong costs about $80 USD one way.
