About
In its heyday, Dalat Station boasted three arrivals and departures daily. The French built the railway station itself, while the zigzagging tracks were planned and implemented by the Swedish, experts in tricky terrain.

Went to take a look and the guy wanted to charge us 40k dong each just for the pleasure of viewing the building and that's before you even get on a train?????? What a rip off. This country sucks at eveey turn. So disrespected just for being a tourist.

We bought tickets for the short trip at 170k dong each - 2nd class VIP tickets. These got us a seat on a padded bench which was quite comfortable. The train itself is quaint and spacious as is the station.
The views from the train are what lets it down - row after row of poly tunnels and various garbage strewn on the train banks.
Some of the passengers pulled their curtains as they didn’t want to sit in the sun so if you were opposite them you could only look out your side. We walked to the end of the carriage and stood outside (guards seemed to be fine with this).
An okay trip.

Beautiful building. We had a drink at the chocolate shop whilst waiting for the train, tasted amazing. The train journey was a nice experience and the pogoda at the other end was so beautiful. Loved it. We had some pictures by the train, would Def recommend the experience to anyone visiting Dalat

The parked trains are really cool and look like the Polar Express (or Hogwarts express) and the whole place is very cute. I've been twice and kids (aged 3 and 4) love it. However, the train is never running when I'm there -either I'm just unlucky or it'd be good if they advertised this better

This can be in your must visit list. The little old, very well maintained railway station has a nice ambiance and toy trains. You can either take a ride or just click lovely photographs with the toy trains and enjoy the beauty. If you want to take a ride in the toy train check the timings in advance. Preferably take a return fare if you are not travelling with any agent. The train gives a 20 mins halt in a location which have couple of lovely Pagodas. Quickly visit then and hop in the train again to enjoy your ride in the toy train

Very underwhelming experience. We arrived and walked through the station (full of stalls selling the same usual crap) to see the train which was very unimpressive. Luckily we stopped by on the way back from elsewhere so didn’t waste any time going out of the way to see it.

The tour costs 150.000 and takes abt. half an hour. Nothing to see apart from enormous plastic greenhouses all the way. You come to the end station in a suburb to Dalat where you can take a walk up to a pagoda. Then back again half an hour later. There was a lot of quarrelling among the tourists about the seats as noone knew which seat they had.
If you're keen to see the pagoda there are other means of getting there.

City of flowers, coffee, strawberries and wine. Nice climate, refreshingly cooler than Saigon. Please do visit the Crazy house, Maze bar, French style railway station and ride the cable car to the Truc Lam monastery.

The train station needs some love, it really isn't much to look at inside or outside. There is one old train which you cannot climb onto and the other train is currently in use. It is ok for a few photos but I wouldn't make it a priority.

- It's best for you to choose car 3, VIP seat 2 so you can play saxophone while traveling - very chill.
- You should book early because VIP tickets are easy to sell out (especially on weekends). Maybe today I can buy tickets for tomorrow at the resort, I haven't seen them selling night train tickets online.
- If you book seats and miss out on VIP carriages, I advise you not to book anymore. Please ask for another time, because only vip cars can give you a good, cozy, and comfortable experience. If you go in peace or software, it's extremely shaky. Walking is very uncomfortable, greatly affecting your experience.
