In Vietnam, all railways are government-run, but they have allowed private companies to furnish and service luxury cars attached to the state trains. Tracks span the country's length and generally run near the coast, which enables magnificent views. Nearly all major tourist destinations can be reached by train, and in most cases, it is faster than taking the bus and, indeed, more relaxing. One of the only popular places unreachable by train is Dalat in the central highlands, which one can get to by bus or plane. Short delays are common, but trains often make up for lost time and arrive on time.
