How to Get from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) to Saigon Railway Station

The absolute cheapest is city bus 152 (about 5,000–6,000 VND) during its daytime hours, but it is slow and has limited luggage space. You still need a short taxi/Grab or a 30-minute walk from Ben Thanh to the station. Bus 109 is easier but slightly more expensive.

By taxi or private transfer, the 6.5 km drive usually takes about 15–25 minutes, longer in rush hour or heavy rain. Public buses take around 60–80 minutes including the last leg from District 1 to the station.

Yes, official taxis and app cars (Grab, Green SM, Be) operate 24/7 from SGN. Buses like 152 stop in the evening, and bus 109 runs until late evening but not all night.

Taxi and ride-hailing apps often allow card payment in the app, but meter taxis may prefer cash. City buses require small VND notes; do not count on contactless card payment.

A pre-booked private transfer or official taxi is best for families: both take about 15–25 minutes door-to-door and can carry several bags. Bus 152 has little luggage space and is not recommended if you have more than one small bag.

No, there is no airport rail link at SGN. You must use a road option or take bus 109/152 to District 1 and complete the last leg by taxi or walking.
