By Bus

The intercity bus station (ben xe lien thinh Da Lat) is located at 01 To Hien Thanh, two kilometres south of Xuan Huong Lake. Da Lat is predominantly serviced by Phuong Trang (Futa Bus), though a few small companies also operate from this terminal. You can purchase Phuong Trang tickets at the station or at their office downtown.

Few foreign tourists know this: If you arrive into the station on a Phuong Trang bus, your ticket includes a free shuttle to your hotel in town. Taxis will immediately approach foreigners getting off the bus and whisk them away before they figure this out. When you disembark, follow the locals to the fleet of minivans. The driver will likely not speak English but simply show your hotel address.
