Destination & City Travel Guide

About Colombo

Colombo is often the first Sri Lankan stop after landing at Bandaranaike International Airport near Katunayake. Pettah’s market streets, the Gangaramaya temple and Galle Face Green show different parts of the city within a compact area, although road traffic changes the pace. The National Museum adds an indoor visit, and Colombo Fort remains an important transport point. Indian travellers can spend a day here before taking a train south or beginning a wider island route.

Read more about Colombo

Tips for travellers from India

Fort is the practical choice when a rail departure forms part of a short stay; Galle Face instead puts the seafront within easy reach. Cinnamon Gardens suits the National Museum and Independence Square. Bandaranaike Airport is at Katunayake, outside Colombo, so an airport hotel and a central city hotel serve different purposes. A late arrival followed by an early flight may favour the airport area, whereas a day of sightseeing needs the road transfer into Colombo itself.

Pettah and Fort fit together as a market-and-architecture walk, while Gangaramaya and the nearby lake area belong to another circuit. The National Museum is a collection visit rather than a brief stop on the way to a train, so pair it with Cinnamon Gardens. Galle Face Green is a flexible evening endpoint after those indoor sights. City of Dreams Sri Lanka opened in August 2025, adding hotel, dining and entertainment facilities to the central waterfront area; it is separate from the older museum district. For onward rail travel, identify Colombo Fort station on the ticket rather than treating every Colombo station as interchangeable. Pettah’s commercial lanes can be awkward with wheeled luggage, making Fort accommodation useful when combining a market visit with an onward train.

Best time to visit Colombo

December to March, around 23–32°C, with comparatively drier west-coast weather.

Galle Face GreenPettah MarketGangaramaya TempleNational Museum of ColomboIndependence SquareColombo Fort

How to reach Colombo

By Air: Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) is about 32 km north of Colombo; allow roughly 45–75 minutes by road. Airport bus 187, taxis and hired cars connect with the city.

By Rail: Colombo Fort is the main rail hub for routes towards Kandy, Galle and other destinations.

By Road: Airport bus 187 uses the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway; long-distance buses leave from city terminals.

What to do in Colombo

Walk the Galle Face Green seafront.
Explore market lanes in Pettah.
Visit Gangaramaya Temple near Beira Lake.
See Sri Lankan collections at the National Museum of Colombo.

About Shanghai

Shanghai is organised around the Huangpu River. The Bund looks across to Pudong’s towers, while Yuyuan Garden and nearby streets offer a different scale of buildings and shops. Museums and former lane neighbourhoods fill out a longer stay. Pudong International Airport is well east of central districts, so arriving visitors should decide whether a hotel is near People’s Square, the Bund or a metro interchange before choosing a transfer. The airport metro is useful, but its travel time is longer than the map may suggest.

Read more about Shanghai

Tips for travellers from India

People’s Square is useful for central metro connections, while the Bund suits a stay focused on the historic riverfront. A Pudong hotel places the towers on the same side of the Huangpu as the airport, but the district is large and the final station still matters. The Maglev reaches Longyang Road rather than the Bund itself; onward metro or road transport is needed. Metro Line 2 offers another route from Pudong Airport into the city.

Air India checks in at Terminal 2, at island K. The airport’s other terminal is a separate check-in building, and a domestic connection may require collecting bags and completing new departure formalities. Hongqiao is a different Shanghai airport, not another Pudong terminal. In town, the Bund promenade and a Pudong observation visit face each other across the river but need a crossing between them. Yuyuan Garden belongs to a smaller-scale old-city route, while People’s Square museums form another cluster. Museum of Art Pudong is on the newer waterfront side and has its own exhibition tickets. For a short visit, select one river crossing and build the day around the sights on either bank rather than repeatedly returning to the same metro interchange. Pudong Airport’s distance makes the last transfer a meaningful part of the departure day.

Best time to visit Shanghai

March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for riverside walks.

How to reach Shanghai

By Air: Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is about 30 km east of downtown; Metro Line 2 takes about one hour to People’s Square. Airport Link rail, buses and taxis are alternatives.

By Rail: Shanghai Railway Station and Hongqiao Railway Station have long-distance services; Metro Line 2 reaches Pudong Airport.

By Road: Airport buses and taxis connect Pudong with central districts and the wider region.

What to do in Shanghai

Walk the architectural frontage of the Bund.
Explore Yuyuan Garden.
Visit an exhibition at Shanghai Museum.
Follow a riverside path on the West Bund.

Shanghai airport information

Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Air India operates from Pudong Terminal 2, with check-in at island K. Both main terminals handle domestic and international operations, so flight type alone does not identify the correct building.
