Vishakhapatnam to Singapore Flights

What's new in Visakhapatnam

• December 2025: A cantilevered glass skywalk about 55 metres long opened at Kailasagiri hilltop park on 1 December 2025, looking out over the Bay of Bengal and the city. Visitors are let on in batches.
• August 2026: Scheduled flights moved on 17 August 2026 from the old airport inside the naval air station to the new Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram, about 45 km north-east of the city, which took over the VTZ code. APSRTC started electric bus services from the city to the new airport at the same time.

Tips for travellers

RK Beach and the Beach Road area suit a short stay, while Siripuram and Dwaraka Nagar are more convenient for business. App cabs and auto-rickshaws are the usual way around, and there is no metro. With the new airport much further out, allow at least an hour for the drive and more at peak times.

October to March brings the most comfortable weather, and December and January are best for the Araku Valley, where mornings are cold. April to June is hot and humid, and cyclones can form in the Bay of Bengal in October and November. The Kirandul passenger train and its Vistadome coaches on the Araku line sell out on weekends and holidays, so reserve early. Simhachalam Temple, on a hill north of the city, expects modest dress and draws long queues during the Chandanotsavam festival in April or May.

Tips for travellers from India

Serangoon Road is a useful short-stay base for Serangoon Road restaurants and the Downtown and North East MRT lines. City Hall works better for the National Gallery and riverfront, while Marina Bay puts the waterfront close by but separates it from the small shops around Tekka Centre. Decide which cluster matters before choosing a hotel; a place near an MRT entrance can be more useful than a central-looking map pin across a large road junction.

Changi’s MRT station serves Terminals 2 and 3. The airport branch requires a change at Tanah Merah for the East West Line towards town, while Expo provides an interchange with the Downtown Line. This distinction matters for hotels near Bugis or Serangoon Road. Jewel is on the public side of the airport, so a visit during a connection requires the appropriate entry permission and a return through departure formalities. Gardens by the Bay’s outdoor grounds and its ticketed conservatories need different amounts of time; a walk through the gardens does not include admission to every attraction. Keep Sentosa as a separate outing from the civic district, and group the National Gallery beside the Padang, Singapore River and nearby bridges into a day with fewer transfers.
